Our purpose

Why Upward Spiral exists.

Upward Spiral is a self-guided wellbeing program for adults who want to give their wellbeing regular attention.

For the space between fine and flourishing.

You may be doing okay and still want more interest, connection or meaning in your days.

Our aim is to make wellbeing research approachable and useful in everyday life, with room to consider what matters to you.

Our approach

Three principles behind the program.

Skills you can practise

How we feel is shaped by health, temperament, life experience and circumstances. Some skills can develop through practice and support. Progress varies, and needing help is not a failure.

A structure to work with

The program follows a sequence across 52 weeks. Each week brings a topic, exercises, a coping skill, guided sessions and reflection, so you don’t need to decide where to begin each time.

Choices about taking part

You can choose how to engage with the practices. Some may be useful now; others may be something to leave or return to later.

The person behind the program.

Jean-Pierre CalitzFounder, Upward Spiral

Jean-Pierre’s background combines more than twenty years in music education with a Master of Applied Positive Psychology.

Before you decide

What to expect.

The program is not therapy, medical care or crisis support, and it does not replace professional care.

You can explore the weekly format, listen to a sample and review pricing and access before deciding whether the approach feels right for you.
