Where your experience is seen in full
Bring what you know. Find your people. Shape what comes next.
The Athenae is a curated membership for accomplished women who want to think alongside equally thoughtful peers, build trusted relationships and put their experience to work in new ways.
This is probably you if:
You have accomplished a huge amount, and sense there is more range, relevance and possibility in what you bring than you have yet fully explored.
You want to be recognised for depth, not noise. For substance, not performance.
You are ready to broaden how you see yourself and how you are seen without abandoning anything you have already built
The Founding Circle will do more than join The Athenae. Its members will help shape the collective it becomes: its conversations, its culture and the possibilities it creates.
What the membership includes
A considered set of spaces, conversations and resources, designed to help you be more clearly seen, more meaningfully connected and more intentionally positioned for what comes next.
The
Agora
The Athenae private digital community. An ongoing space for thoughtful exchange, peer counsel and quiet support away from the noise of public social platforms. The everyday gathering place where members think out loud and build relationships that develop over years rather than minutes.
The
Salons
Monthly live conversations on the themes that matter: leadership, reinvention, contribution, visibility, influence. Each Salon brings members together with an invited guest. Recordings shared for those who cannot attend live.
Recognition Sessions
Quarterly small group sessions (no more than eight members per session) for the deeper work of seeing your value more clearly, sharpening how you are positioned, and identifying the next conversations and opportunities worth pursuing.
The
Gathering
Once a year, an in person day for members in London. A slower, deeper kind of room designed for unhurried conversation and meaningful connection.
Included in membership.
The
Library
A growing collection of essays, frameworks, prompts and tools including
the full Influence Audit, the Recognition Map and the Positioning Guide.
Designed to be returned to, not consumed once.
Introductions & Opportunities
Members may be invited to contribute to Strategic Sprints where their experience fits an organisation’s challenge. These are separate paid engagements, and participating members are paid from the organisation’s fee.
How it works
Apply - a short application to help us understand your experience, what you are exploring, and what you are seeking. The first cohort, The Founding Circle, is limited to thirty-five members. Membership is by application to protect the quality of the room.
Welcome - once accepted you are welcomed, personally, into the Agora, sent your first reading and invited to the next Salon.
Begin - settle in at your own pace. There's no schedule to keep, or pressure to perform, but this is a room shaped by what its members bring as well as what they receive.
Annual Membership
£1500 per year
The first thirty-five members, The Founding Circle, pay £950 per year, locked in for as long as they remain continuous members.
The Founding Circle opens on 27th September 2026.
Annual membership only at launch, we do not offer monthly billing in the first year.
The Athenae is shaped around five connected ideas: Recognition, Positioning, Presence, Connection and Influence.
This is not about reinvention. It is about building on the value you already hold and carrying it forward with greater clarity, confidence and intention.
