The Online Support & Peer Community for Women in Higher Education
Decompress from HE overload, build authentic connections, and navigate your career with clarity.
Step Out of the Noise, Uncertainty, and Systemic Pressures
Address issues such as burnout, boundaries and overwhelm, and experience the power of a nourishing network of women from across the sector.
Do you want more conversation and connection with other women in HE, in a warmly held community, outside of the system?
H.E.R. Space (Higher Education Replenishment) is a new network specifically for women who work in Higher Education.
It was launched to give you a warm & inclusive space to connect, share, learn and replenish with your colleagues across the sector – at all stages of career – and will be shaped and evolved based on your collective needs and wants so that it will be of value.
This is a space where I hope you will feel at home.
We flourish best when in connection with other women, in spaces where we can rock up and come just as we are.
Working in HE is demanding and the systems are often patriarchal and archaic, so spaces where you can step out of that and connect with like-minded women are crucial.
This network will provide just that.

Who This Is For
All women working in Higher Education, whether in research, teaching, professional services, or leadership, who…
- feel overwhelmed & need some space to breathe
- are weighed down by the invisible labour and the constant context-switching
- are living with the sense of never quite doing enough in any one role
- want more connection with other women in this space who feel the same
- yearn for regular moments to pause and ground, held for you with a human approach
- would like to learn, share stories and figure out a healthier way through with other women across the sector
- want to develop and grow, whether that means climbing a career ladder or not.
If you’re nodding along, know that you’re not alone – and you are exactly who I started this for.

Space is designed to give you a range of nourishing options and to lighten your load – not add another item to your to-do list!
By being part of this community, you will benefit from:
- Connection with colleagues across HE
- Calm & grounding from regular exercises to support you in this
- Learning on a wide variety of topics and shared experience

Gathering with like-minded women for replenishing pauses, conversation and learning is the most nourishing way to reconnect with clarity and assuredness amongst the overload of Higher Education.

FAQs
What if I can’t attend live sessions?
Attendance at live sessions is entirely optional. You get to engage in this community in a way that works for you.
Audio replays are available for the shorter replenishing sessions (Monday morning Ground and Focus sessions and Grace & Space). Video recordings are available for the elements of the live sessions that don’t include members’ personal sharings and reflections.
The more women who join the community, the more possiblity there will be to run sessions more than once, on different days and at different times.
Can I expense this through my university?
Yes. If you need an invoice to pay annually, email me at coaching@bryonyrowntree.com.
Is this only for academics?
No. This community is open to all women working in HE. Again, as the community grows, there will be more capacity to run sessions and have spaces for women working in specific areas to connect and work/replenish together.
What if I join and then find it’s not for me?
Just cancel your subscription. Simple.
