Wanderess Promises
Expert Facilitation
Benefit from the guidance and expertise of our founder Dr Ellie Chadwick, who has extensive experience running international creative arts retreats.
Wanderess works with incredible artists, therapists and change-makers across the globe. We ensure that our facilitators are skilled and knowledgeable in their fields, and perhaps more importantly that they align with our values.
Community Connection
Shared experiences, mutual support and collaborative creativity mean Wanderesses forge deep and meaningful connections that extend far beyond our retreats.
Becoming a Wanderess means you can choose to join our exclusive Women’s Circle – a vibrant and supportive community. Here you can access a wealth of content, events and connections.
Global and Sustainable
We prioritise sustainability and interculturality by partnering with local providers and facilitators across the globe. Travel with a conscience and immerse yourself in local customs and traditions while supporting the communities we visit. Enjoy a stress-free experience with comprehensive packages that cover accommodation, meals, and all activities, while knowing that you are contributing to local economies and supporting diverse culture.
Inclusive environment
All women are welcome here. Our experiences are designed to be inclusive, welcoming and free from judgment. We prove a safe and nurturing space for women of all backgrounds to connect, share, and grow together. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be embraced by fellow Wanderesses and staff who are dedicated to making your experience joyful and supported.
Holistic and Creative Approach
We keep an equal focus on the needs of mind, body and spirit and harnessing and nurturing creative energy is central to our ethos. We integrate intercutural experiences with therapeutic art practices and creative skill-building workshops, supporting you to up-skill and evolve in ways that can positively impact every area of your life.
Transformational Experience
We provide so much more than a retreat, we want our Wanderesses to leave with a revolutionary creative attitude to life and a wealth of skills, experiences and connections. The experience does not end with the final day of the retreat: through our Circle, Wanderesses can stay connected with each other as we continue to support your evolution.
