The Joyful Visibility Creativity Circle
A transformative space for heart-led women leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers to unleash their authentic voice — together
£15 per seat, only eight seats per session (over Zoom). Upcoming dates:
Thursday 10th April / Friday 11th April 2025
Thursday 15th May / Friday 16th May 2025
Three 90 minute sessions on offer each month to suit different timezones.
For almost a year now, this space for women leaders and changemakers has been gently growing. The feedback has been wondrous.
Why I created it: when we find ways of becoming more visible that feel joyful, authentic and nourishing to us, everyone in our orbit wins. I call this Joyful Visibility.
Why a Creativity Circle?
To cultivate our capacity to bring forward, express, and create what we truly wish to contribute, we need safe spaces of non-judgement where we can practice sharing our voice, our experiences, our creations. Places where people are looking at us beyond typical analysis and critique.
This makes us feel seen. Our nervous systems calm. Energy is freed to create. This enables us to follow our souls' callings in our lives and leadership.
But these kind of places can be difficult to find.
This offering marries two powerful structures:
A Women’s Circle
Gathering with other women is a thousands-of-years-old practice where wisdom is borne and released — the kind of wisdom our world most needs right now. Circle spaces are places where we are seen and heard exactly as we are, with no need to perform or impress.
Creative Writing Exploration
Writing prompts, playing with poetry, and exploring journaling techniques to connect more deeply with our creative selves, untold stories, and hidden depths. Creativity can be a a portal to self-discovery and expansion.
This is a space to:
Step off the treadmill and reconnect with your creative heart
Practice being visible in a way that feels joyful and nourishing
Be seen and heard exactly as you are
Inspire and be inspired by other soul-led women from all over the world
Cultivate your capacity to bring forward, express and create what you truly wish to contribute — in your life and leadership
The experience:
After some introductions and scene-setting, I offer a creative writing prompt or exercise and we write — privately, cameras off — allowing whatever wants to emerge, whether that’s a response to the prompt or something else entirely, for around 30-40 minutes.
Then we come back together, and if you wish, you can share what you’ve written or simply speak to what the exercise has touched in you. Or you may prefer to just listen.
As someone shares, the group gives her our full presence and attention, with no critique or technical feedback offered. This is an advice-free zone, unless someone specifically requests it.
This is not about ‘writing well’ or ‘becoming published’ (though some women often feel inspired to share some of what they write outside the calls!). It is about creative writing, and the act of reading our words aloud, as a transformative practice, that can empower all parts of our lives and work.
Women return month after month because something powerful happens here.
Confidence grows. Voices strengthen. Creative energy flows. Relationships deepen. Collaborations emerge.
This is not magic (though it often feels like magic).
It’s what happens when women gather with intention and care in a powerful, expertly-held container.
This is for you if:
You long to express more of yourself — in life, leadership, and/or your creative expressions.
You sense your voice is ready to emerge more powerfully, but you hold back or overthink.
You’re tired of forcing yourself to ‘show up’ in ways that drain you.
You crave a different kind of visibility and impact — one rooted in joy, truth, and soul.
You are curious about writing as an empowering creative practice that connects us with ourselves, our authentic voice, and the experience of being alive.
You want to be in community with women who are done with the hustle and ready to create from a place of ease and authenticity.
You believe in the truth that together we rise.
What women are saying:
"I cannot say enough good things about this offering. It's magical, intimate, and nurturing. It touches a deep, dark, tender place in my soul as someone who had abandoned the poetry of my youth in favor of more "sensible" and "practical" pursuits. Now writing again – in the company of brave, soulful women – has become a way back to myself. I didn't know it when I first joined, but this group was EXACTLY what I needed to show up in my life and my business with the courage and authenticity I aspire to."
—Vanessa Baker Rodriguez, Nonprofit Leadership Coach and Consultant
"The circle appealed to me as a safe, open place to experiment and let go. I was also curious about creative (non-work related) writing as a way in. I wasn’t disappointed! The way Claire held the space, and the presence of the other women, reminded me there is no right or wrong - somehow freeing me up.
During the private writing time , I didn’t write much and started to judge myself for it. But as I listened to the other women share their writing and simply voiced that I had felt stuck, I felt seen and held by the group - and it shifted something. I began to accept where I was, rather than fighting it. In the days afterwards I felt inspired to write much more than usual, which was an unexpected gift!
The world needs more spaces like this - where we can be seen just as we are. Where we don’t need to show up in any particular way. It’s liberating.”
—Su Mee Tan, Coach, Trainer, Improviser
I loved the sharing part of the circle time – where we reflected back what we’d heard in other’s writing, and what it touched in us. It’s a very different way of giving feedback, and a beautiful practice in itself. When I shared my writing, it felt good to hear my own words out loud, and to be heard by the group. It was an empowering and expansive experience.
If I simply made a date with myself to write, I’m not sure I’d do it. Having the monthly structure of the circle is a powerful frame to give me the time and space I long for, but sometimes struggle to give myself.”
—Caroline MacGregor, founder
