At last, a home for people wanting real connection and depth.

A place that helps you cultivate more resilience, purpose and freedom.
This is why we built the Midlife Wisdom School.

“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to. Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
~ Brené Brown
Does this Sound Familiar?
“I live with a low hum of anxiety always busy, but longing for peace.”
“I’ve built the life I wanted, but now I’m asking: Is this all there is?”
“I’m curious about nurturing a spiritual life, but not sure where to begin.”
“I long for a trustworthy community where I can be real and seen.”

If you can relate, you’re not alone.

Be Seen, Heard and Valued
Our gatherings are places where each of us are seen and held. Honest sharing is met with only two words: “Thank you.”
No “fixing”, no feedback - just witnessing and offering our full loving attention.
Quarterly Online Grief Rituals
A Tender Place to Begin Again
Once a quarter, we pause to honour our losses and welcome renewal.
These gentle circles aren’t about fixing or moving on - but about restoring vitality, wellbeing and our connection with each other.
Here’s What Our Community Says…

Meet Your Guide
Jono Fisher is a mentor, leadership guide and grief tender having 20+ years experience offering training to more than a million people. He has produced events with visionaries such as Brené Brown, Eckhart Tolle, Dr Dan Siegal, Tara Brach and the founders of Google’s most successful leadership program.
I’m Jono Fisher, founder of the Midlife Wisdom School. For 20+ years I’ve walked alongside leaders and seekers through life’s biggest questions: How do I find calm? Where do I belong? What gives life meaning?
The Midlife Wisdom School is the space I longed for myself - a caring community where neuroscience meets campfire, poetry meets practice and belonging is created with care.
My approach is shaped by the “ancestry of ideas” from Parker Palmer (Center for Courage & Renewal), Francis Weller (The Wild Edge of Sorrow), Dr. Lisa Miller (Columbia University), John Randak (Okaygrow.com), Sarah Lentz (Science of Connectedness), Martin Shaw (Liturgies of the Wild) and Thomas Moore (Care of the Soul). Their wisdom ground how I guide this community - honouring science, soul, story, nervous system regulation and human flourishing.
I am honoured to walk this path with you.

We offer events and experiences to help you embrace midlife as a time of growth, purpose and adventure.

Alongside this, we offer live workshops, retreats, coaching journeys and leadership immersions in some of the world’s most stunning locations.

Midlife isn’t defined by age but by a shift from external success to inner meaning. You’ll know you’re in midlife when old definitions of success feel hollow, deeper questions arise and you're called to move from striving to self-discovery.

A Final Note from Jono
Dear Friend,
In a world of endless content and lonely learning, it’s easy to forget how much we need each other. We read, listen, scroll - but without a community, little of it takes root.
Science and tradition agree: our wellbeing depends on belonging. People who feel supported live longer, recover faster and carry more meaning.
That’s why I created the Midlife Wisdom School - not another course, but as a practice community. A place where you can show up as you are, be supported and return again and again to what matters most.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Love, Jono
