Know Thyself
A 6-part program for developing clarity,
perspective, and self-trust.
Live, online series
October 20 - November 24, 2026
“In oneself lies the whole world.
If you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. ”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
This is for you if…
life looks fine but feels like something is missing
you overthink or get caught in looping patterns
you’re navigating uncertainty or feeling stuck
you value emotional intelligence, nuance, and honesty
you want to feel more present, connected, free
you’re curious and willing to explore what emerges
You don’t need to be a writer.
You don’t need to share personal stories.
You DO need to be curious & thoughtful
This is not about fixing yourself; it’s about seeing yourself clearly.
Know Thyself begins on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 and ends on Tuesday, November 24, 2026. Choose your time zone at checkout.
Each 90-minute Zoom meeting introduces exercises you can use over and over, for a lifetime, to resolve dilemmas, process stress, cultivate awe, and maintain a healthy mental landscape.
All sessions are recorded, and the playback links are emailed to all registrants the following day, along with additional writing prompts and recommended reading.
Fee: £197
LESSON OVERVIEW
Week One: Identity
Tuesday, October 20, 2026
How do you currently define yourself through roles, responsibilities, and expectations? Is it an accurate picture? How do you judge others based on what you fear in yourself?
Week Two: Thoughts
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
Watch your thoughts instead of believing them. Learn to catch the automatic ones and interrupt the loop. Thought isn't the whole story: feeling comes first, and knowing that can set you free from thinking in circles.
Week Three: Higher Self
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Meet the wise, benevolent part of yourself that is always available to offer comfort and advice. We will learn how to access this part and use it in times of stress and decision-making.
Week Four: Shadow
Tuesday, November 10, 2026
Meet the different “parts” of you, find out what they’re protecting, and whether their strategies still serve you. An introduction to the idea that you contain multitudes, and why that's not a problem to fix.
Week Five: Desire
Tuesday, November 17, 2026
What do you actually want? What would you give up to get it? What does joy genuinely means to you, and how has it been shaped or restricted? Learn to tell your own desires apart from the ones you inherited, and start designing a life that satisfies.
Week Six: Awe
Tuesday, November 24, 2026
Learn to love your life by mastering your attention and enchanting the everyday. Awe isn't a mood that finds you; it's a life-altering discipline.
What you’ll learn
Insights that create lasting ripples through relationships and daily life.
How to understand why something is
bothering you and resolve it through

before they take overHow to regulate anxiety through practical, repeatable writing tools

Testimonials
-
"Rachel’s calm, reassuring presence created such a peaceful and nurturing space that I immediately felt safe to open up and explore whatever came up."
— Carol
-
"Know Thyself with Rachel was a really valuable experience for me, facilitating a better understanding of how to explore my own thoughts, feelings and goals."
— Mark
-
I loved how Rachel incorporated science and facts to help us understand why we use certain methods, the poems at the end are beautiful, inspiring and evoke emotion. She also gave us plenty of time to do the activities and didn't rush us to finish. Really nice flow and energy in the sessions.
— Kei

Group sessions are recorded, and the playback link is emailed to all registrants the next day, along with the writing prompts and reading recommendations.
-
Live. We meet weekly over Zoom for six 90-minute sessions. The recordings are there as backup, not as the primary format.
-
I run two groups: one in the morning and one in the evening (UTC). The morning session is compatible with the evening in JST. You'll choose your time at checkout, and the calendar invite will reflect it.
-
Each group is capped at 30 participants.
-
No. You don't need writing experience, and you're never required to share. We'll have optional opportunities for peer feedback in breakout rooms, but nothing is mandatory.
-
There's no mandatory homework. The goal of the course is to build a practice that stays with you for life, so writing outside of class is encouraged, with prompts supplied — even 5 minutes a day can be effective. But it's entirely up to you, and not necessary for keeping up with the next session.
-
No refunds once you've registered, though you're welcome to transfer your spot to a future cohort instead for group programs.
There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for private clients. -
No. I offer educational and reflective programs, not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment. If you're currently in crisis or working through significant mental health challenges, please seek support from a licensed professional first. See our terms & conditions for more.
