Wanderess is founded on the belief that the arts are not merely a hobby or pastime, nor just a profession. We view the arts through an ancient lens—rooted in Jungian philosophy and an understanding of diverse cultures and heritage—where creativity becomes a ritualistic, essential, even sacred force for deep healing, transformation, and communal connection. The arts allow us to explore the unconscious, connect with archetypes, and engage with the symbolic language of our inner worlds, unlocking hidden truths and potentials within ourselves.

At Wanderess, we believe that we are all creators—of our realities, our stories, and our lives. By tapping into the transformative feminine life-force energy that exists within us all, and balancing it with the masculine, we open the door to endless possibilities for growth and evolution. The exploration of archetypes—such as the Warrior, the Queen, the Wild Woman, and the Priestess—serves as a powerful catalyst to unlock deeper understanding, healing, and empowerment.

Our mission is to ignite the transformative creative power within every woman, guiding her through a journey of self-discovery, connection, and empowerment. Our process is deeply influenced by the work of Wanderess founder Dr. Ellie Chadwick (PhD) and her expertise in Jungian philosophy, archetypes, and storytelling, and helps women work through past traumas, reclaim lost parts of themselves, and create new, expansive possibilities for their lives.

We understand storytelling and artistic expression as both an ancient and a scientifically-researched present-day tool for personal empowerment and healing. In exploring the different roles and archetypes we subconsciously play, we can reshape our identities and step into the heroine’s journey, transforming our lives in real, meaningful ways.

Through various forms of storytelling and somatic/artistic expression, we thus empower women to reclaim their narratives, embody their inner archetypes, and use these tools to rewrite their personal stories and gain full freedom of expression. At the heart of our vision is a world where women are empowered to fully embrace their inner Wanderess, take control of creating their own reality, and thrive in every aspect of their lives. We want to see women unapologetically stepping into their power, connected to their purpose, and supported by a global community of like-minded souls.

Join us on an energising journey of empowerment, evolution, and revolution, where the arts, Jungian wisdom, theatre, and storytelling combine as transformative tools to guide you toward a more authentic, joyful, and creative life.
