YOUR INVITATION TO Wise, Wild & Whole
A year-long soulful exploration for thinking women
to connect with their wild wisdom, slow down and start living.
Your life is full.
But you’re tired.
Tired of trying to meet everyone else’s needs while neglecting your own.
Tired of putting your dreams on hold.
Tired of being on the edge of burning out. Of falling into bed each night exhausted, with an endless to-do list running through your mind.
You’ve found success, yet lost yourself along the way.
And no matter how much you do, it always feels like you’re failing something...or someone.
You can hear your soul call for more...
More space. More freedom. More flow.
More fulfilment. More joy.
You are yearning to create change in your life. To take time for yourself. To escape the exhaustion that frames your day.
You know you need to slow down and connect to something deeper. To your inner wisdom.
You know there has to be a different way, but you aren’t sure how to get there.
You are ready.
In Wise, Wild & Whole you will embark on a deep and spacious journey to...
Return to your body.
Reconnect to place.
Remember your truth.
Root into wild grace.
Rise with clarity.
But you don’t have to venture alone.
In an intimate community of like-minded women, you’ll find a safe, sacred space where you are fully seen, heard and held.
Where you can show up, share and feel supported for all that’s happening in your life.
In all your messiness. Because all of you will be welcome here.
We will come together in circle and sacred ritual to embody the changes you want to make.
You will be supported to come home to your true nature, alongside cultivating a deeper relationship to the natural world.
Together, we will rest and dream bigger dreams. Explore play and pleasure. Courage and compassion. Surrender and sovereignty. Self-love and wisdom.
Together, we will come alive.
Guided by me, Elanor
Your vision holder, challenger, clarifier, initiator.
I designed this cyclical space to slow down and reconnect with your body through sacred ritual, movement, and deep relationship with nature and community. To emerge exuberant and centred, with the courage to choose how you move within the world.
I believe our world needs more women who are rooted into their body and feminine power. On my own journey to come home to myself and my unique truth, I have embraced a fearlessness to live life with passion, purpose, creativity and wonder.
Allow me to light the way on this soulful adventure. Inspired by my teachers, I will provide a pathway to embodied wisdom through sacred ritual, movement and community connection. As we commune with nature and embrace the beauty of the everyday, we find more ease, joy and pleasure.
It would be an honor to guide you on this journey of remembrance.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
― Mary Oliver
Cultivate all that you desire...
It is time to fall back in love with the wisdom of your body.
It is time to embrace your essence and strength.
It is time to listen to your soul whispers.
It is time to reclaim your wild grace.
The Experience Cycle
This is a year-long soulful exploration to come home to your inner wisdom and embrace your wholeness. You will join a community of other wise women navigating their own journey to self-love and sovereignty.
We follow the arc of the seasons, honoring the seasonal shifts alongside the shifts in our own lives. Connecting us to our natural cycles and gifting you the time and spaciousness to make deep, lasting, courageous change. Starting in the depths of winter where we rest and nurture our seeds of inspiration, into spring where we allow those seeds to sprout, before opening to the blooming energy of summer, and the harvesting and releasing of autumn.
Each month has a theme connected to the energy of the season, and an energetic blueprint of what is needed to bring ourselves forward into truly honoring ourselves as already Wise, Wild and Whole.
Ritual will be incorporated in our circles to deepen with the key seasonal shifts, and to support what we want to bring forward into our lives, particularly at the Summer and Winter Solstices, and the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.
The beauty of being a small group is we can co-create the experience together, navigating the seasons and shaping the content and rituals around our collective wishes and wisdom.
This is an experience to be incorporated as part of your life, and a space where you can show up as you are. All the circles will be recorded, so you can stay in flow wherever work or life takes you.
Our circle starts with our Opening Ceremony in mid-July 2023 and will complete with our Closing Ceremony in June 2024.
Monthly Circles
INITIATION CIRCLE
We open into the monthly theme and seasonal energetic through reflection, guided visualisations, dance and community connection. Providing a grounded, embodied, supported experience so that we can connect to our own truth, before stepping into our wider exploration.
DEEPENING CIRCLE
We deepen with the theme, providing a space to connect with what may be arising, and what may need to be brought into deeper awareness. You are supported through movement, reflection and ritual, to be guided back to your centre. Held in community and the wisdom of the circle on your journey.
Circles will be held on Sunday mornings from 10.30am to 12pm NZT, usually on the first and third Sunday of the month.
These will all be hosted on Zoom and whilst you are encouraged to attend the circles live when possible, if you can't make it live, everything will also be recorded for you to watch later.
"This experience has really deepened my exploration and given me confidence that I am not alone in this struggle to find sustainable meaning in this life. Stepping into Wise, Wild & Whole has opened my mind and heart into ways that can never be forgotten”
- Katie Lancaster
Monthly Themes
Rest
We explore slowing down in this season of winter, listening to your body and unwinding when it asks. To give yourself permission to stop and be held by the earth beneath you, prioritising sleep and deep soulful rest.
Compassion
Seeing the wider context of the world we live in, and its impact on our everyday. Noticing where we may need to let go of judgement and comparison, to allow compassion and forgiveness to enter. Embracing ourselves as we are, so we may move from burnout and exhaustion to deep nourishment and care.
Self-Love
Radical self-love is at the core of stepping into our power, and then paving the way for others. Our bodies are the home of this power. We will connect to that power within, and take steps to radically love ourselves and our bodies.
Wild
It’s time to reclaim your aliveness. To express that wild spirit yearning to break through the ‘good girl’ veneer. Moving beyond ‘doing it right’ and ‘getting it done’ to embrace your unique essence.
Sovereign
Connecting to the wisdom and power we have within, to move forward with clarity and presence. Understanding that our onlyness can be a superpower, and that we don’t need to do things as they have always been done.
Courage
Courage is a heart word. When we open up to what our hearts are saying, we find the vulnerability to move ahead with courage. To be in heartfelt participation with life. To challenge and leap.
Play & Creativity
So often we believe we aren’t creative...that creativity is reserved for artists. This month, we will let our inner child loose to play. Opening up to the creatrix within and the power of play to bring forth our dreams.
Pleasure
We are sensual beings, but often deny pleasure for productivity. As we enjoy the warmth of summer, what does it feel like in our bodies to open up to pleasure as we move through our days? What would we wear, eat, touch and want to experience?
Wisdom
We embrace our inner wise woman. Looking to where we can continue simplifying our lives, as we shift from ‘head knowing’ to embodied wisdom. Recognising the power of being, rather than becoming.
Release
As we pass the Autumn Equinox, we practice surrendering. Releasing what we don’t wish to take forward, and letting go of identities and beliefs that no longer support us.
Dream
Taking time to connect to our dreamtime and our imagination of the future we want to create. Opening up to our biggest dreams for our lives. What is calling us forward and tapping us on the shoulder to begin, create and do.
Whole
Celebrating our wholeness right where we are. Embracing the freedom within and what it means now to feel Wise, Wild & Whole.
"I have a greater ability to trust myself and what I know to be right in my heart, even when it gets tough to hold my ground and my beliefs”.

Choosing what feels nourishing for you, and leaving what doesn’t.

Inspiring resources tailored to each theme are provided each month, to support a deeper experience and reflection.

BRILLIANT GUEST MENTORS
None of us have all the answers, but often those who have been there before us, have insights to offer. A library of guest mentor conversations are available, with women who have personal experience with the monthly theme or in a topic of interest to the group. To delve into their embodied wisdom and support our own growth. All recorded and shared in our online portal. Within the community space, we can share our reflections and reactions.
SMALL GROUP CIRCLE (OPTIONAL)
For those who want to further deepen their experience, there is an optional smaller group circle. This is a monthly call (or alternatively Voxer circle) with 2-4 other women, where you are provided with prompts related to the monthly theme to reflect and speak on. It is a space for deep connection and support, through all the things we navigate as women in this time.
PRIVATE PORTAL
Access a private online space on Mighty Networks to ask questions, share, support and connect with one another throughout the experience. It’s always available, on any device, and only for our community.

Love Notes
Sara Cohen
Homeschooling mama of 4
I have thoroughly enjoyed Wise, Wild & Whole, and it has been immensely supportive, especially given the year we’ve all had. This last year has definitely been a huge spiritual journey for me, and I have gone through what I can only describe as shedding.
Shedding many things that no longer serve me. At times this has been really hard, and I’ve had to work through a process of grief. But I now feel I have so much more clarity, and also see the world quite differently. It’s like I have new eyes. Alongside that I have greater ability to trust myself and what I know to be right in my heart, even when it gets tough to hold my ground and my belief. I feel that Qoya and Wise, Wild & Whole has helped me through all of this, and for that I’m truly grateful.
Katie Lancaster
Family therapist, Mama of two
I had not heard of Qoya before, though I liked the idea of dancing as a way of working through difficult emotions. I came across Wise Wild & Whole when I felt emotionally burnt out from my roles of mother, wife and a mental health therapist, during the crisis of the COVID pandemic. However what I learnt from joining the circle in 2021 was the need to address past experiences that were hidden away deeply within my body.
By joining a circle of women I have been able to develop trust in them and myself to process the feelings/experiences as they came up during our dancing. What surprised me was my desire to allow my body to dance through the emotions versus wanting to talk about them.
Elanor has been able to hold a space for us that has facilitated participation at our own pace, as well as provide access to other women’s voices through mentoring calls and literature recommendations. This experience has really deepened my exploration and given me confidence that I am not alone in this struggle to find sustainable meaning in this life. Stepping into Wise, Wild & Whole has opened my mind and heart into ways that can never be forgotten. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and the generosity of Elanor and the women in the circle for the support they are providing me on my journey of learning to thrive.
Marina Nola
Senior Manager & Triathlete
What I loved most about the Wild, Wise and Whole journey was the beautiful space that it provided for personal reflection and contemplation. The tools and resources Elanor provided helped us look at the world and our busy lives through a different lens, with a new theme each month to explore.
The experience was further elevated through being connected with other women who were each on their own journey and the learnings we gained by sharing these with each other.
Melissa Peterson
Massage therapist, Mother
Elanor's coaching allowed us so much flexibility that I felt I could keep benefitting from it even though my situation changed completely during the course of Wise, Wild and Whole. In that way it was very responsive to my needs, as I always got a lot from the Qoya circles, as well as being able to catch up with things online that I had missed.
