CREATiVE TRANSiTiON

At a Threshold

Your Next Chapter is a guided creative course for women who find themselves at a threshold.

This may be a moment when familiar roles, expectations, or ways of being no longer quite fit, and questions about what comes next begin to surface.

The course offers a creative space to pause, reflect, and explore this moment, allowing clarity and direction to emerge through imagination and creative discovery.

WHO THiS iS FOR

Women at a Crossroads

This is for women who are navigating a period of transition in their lives.

Often this is a time when earlier ways begin to shift, identities change, or a sense of “what’s next” is not yet clear.

In this course, creativity is approached as a natural human capacity, even for people who don’t think of themselves as very creative. It is particularly suited to those who are curious about creativity as a way of thinking and making sense of experience.

How the Course Unfolds

The course unfolds through a sequence of creative explorations, each offering a different way of working with experience, memory, imagination, and intention.

Participants are guided through a range of exercises including writing, storytelling, and creative journalling. These are approached in a way that is playful yet focused, allowing insight to emerge through exploration and reflection.

What emerges is then considered and brought back into everyday life, where it can begin to inform what comes next.

Beginning With Possibility

You do not need to have a plan or a clear sense of direction to begin this course.

Your Next Chapter offers a creative space to explore ideas, imagine different possibilities, and play with what a new stage of life might become.

Through curiosity and creative expression, a way forward can take clearer shape, accompanied by a growing sense of energy and engagement.
