Gather Clarity Circle

At Gather Rooms, Lewes | Starting Mid March

A 6-Week In-Person Circle to Bring Your Work to Life - and Get Things Done.

Co-working, mastermind reflection, copy refinement and focused implementation woven into a steady weekly rhythm that builds clarity, connection and completion.

You trained for years to become good at what you do.

You invested significant time and money into your craft.
You care deeply about the people you are primed to support.
You want your work to make a genuine difference.

And then you realised that in order to do the work you’re here to do, you also have to understand and run a business - messaging, pricing, marketing, structure.

It’s an entirely different skillset.

And doing it alone can feel quietly isolating and utterly overwhelming.

You sit at your laptop trying to refine a sentence.
You circle around your niche.
You half-write the newsletter and close the tab.

Not because you’re incapable.
Because you’re doing it alone.

Gather Clarity Circle is a place where those knots begin to untangle.

A place where shoulders soften.
Where blocked energy begins to rise again.
Where clarity returns.

Where working on your business starts to feel alive - even playful - instead of pressured.

Ethical. Authentic. Playful.

Gather Clarity Circle is Built on Three Non-Negotiable Premises:

1. Business must serve life - and our clients - not the other way round.
We build practices that are viable, ethical and sustainable. Growth is not the aim for its own sake. A good life, supported by meaningful work, is.

2. Work (even the admin!) can and must feel like play and connection in the right room.
When you’re surrounded by thoughtful peers who care about what they’re building, clarity accelerates. Ideas sharpen. Resistance softens. Momentum becomes shared rather than solitary.

3.We all thrive in community.
Many practitioners build and work alone. This circle recognises that intelligent support, connection, shared reflection and mutual accountability are not luxuries -they are essential structures for thriving.

In practice, this means we build:

Messaging that reflects who you actually are
Structures that are sustainable
Visibility that doesn’t require self-betrayal

We move at a human pace.
We prioritise integrity over urgency.
We care about viability - not endless expansion.

By the End of the 6 Weeks You May Have:

A website ready to launch
A rewritten directory profile that genuinely reflects who you are
A clearly articulated niche or specialism
Pricing you feel settled and confident about
A completed sales page
A newsletter sequence written and ready to send
A structure you can actually sustain

And perhaps most importantly - a felt shift in how you relate to your work.

Less tension.
More clarity.
More energy.

A sense that working on your business can feel enlivening rather than draining.

What This Is

A small, facilitated 6-week in-person circle for up to five local practitioners.

Part mastermind.
Part copy lab.
Part structured co-working.
Part relational space where you don’t have to build alone.

This is for thoughtful practitioners who:

Have already invested deeply in their professional training
Care about doing good work
Feel the loneliness of building something solo
Want intelligent reflection and warm accountability

You don’t need another course.
You need a room.

You need other people.

The Value

I know first-hand what it’s like to build a business on a shoestring.

Spending money on your business before it’s consistently making money can feel counter-intuitive - even uncomfortable.

And yet, there comes a point when structure, accountability and intelligent feedback stop being “nice to have” and start becoming the difference between drifting and momentum.

My intention with Gather Clarity Circle is that your investment translates quickly into clarity, completed work and stronger foundations - the kinds of shifts that naturally support income rather than endlessly circling preparation.

Most practitioners try to solve this piecemeal:

– A 1:1 clarity coaching session
– A copy review
– A co-working membership
– A mastermind group

Gather Clarity Circle brings these elements together - in one coherent, relational container.
