Welcome to the Midlife Wisdom School

Celebrating the second half of life as a time of growth, purpose and adventure.

A Message from Our Founder

Dear Friend,

We live in an age of endless inspiration. Podcasts, books and courses offer insights on everything from mindfulness to leadership, creativity to neuroscience.

We consume one idea after another, nodding along as we listen.

And yet...how much of it truly changes us?

Jamie Wheal puts it best:

“We are drowning in information, but starved for wisdom.”

At the Midlife Wisdom School, we believe wisdom isn’t something we passively consume - it’s something we seek to live, practice and embody together.

This isn’t another course or a quick fix. It’s a 12-month journey of commitment and practice, designed to help us move beyond inspiration into meaningful change.

And for those wanting to go deeper, we also offer workshops, retreats, coaching journeys and leadership immersions in stunning locations.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Warmly, Jono
