Start Here➡️How to Use This Newsletter as Your Online Wisdom School
Plus, a handy directory of all posts on 'Expression with Fiona English'
Welcome!
Over the past two years, this newsletter has evolved into a hybrid of a newsletter and online wisdom school—a place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with our innate knowing—our inner wisdom about what truly matters. By creating space in life to connect and reflect, we offer ourselves the opportunity to take more intentional action, allowing us to live and lead with greater meaning and authenticity.
I truly believe if we want a better world, it starts with a better version of each of us. In a world that’s moving faster than ever—with technology pushing us to keep up—we risk losing touch with what makes us human. And what makes us most human is what sets us apart. I want to offer you the resources and moments of pause to help you do just that.
The foundation of this newsletter is the monthly essays. I write about topics that are uniquely human; purpose, leadership, human transformation, self-actualisation, creativity, spirituality, authenticity and more — drawing from my lived experience of grounding these topics in the reality of life. My writing aims to be deep yet digestible, offering you the opportunity to reflect without requiring too much time.
⏳ Build Your Personal Practice Over Time
You can build on the topics the essays offer with the paid subscription benefits, which include:
Contemplative Corner & Curated Content Monthly short reflective exercises & curated content from wisdom teachers worldwide. These resources help you connect with practices you personally enjoy.
3 Live The Purpose Clinic™ workshops (recorded for easy access), offering storytelling and practice around different themes.
Quarterly Journaling Practices to help you take a beat every 3 months. Intended to help you create a seasonal practice of reflecting on where you are and where you would like to go.
