A Taster of the Wanderess Spirit
At Wanderess all of our offerings empower women to embody their most authentic selves by exploring and embracing diverse aspects of their identity through creative practice, somatic healing, and archetypes/storytelling: leading to profound personal growth and self-realisation.
Our events give you a taster of reconnecting with the archetypal aspects of the feminine within, reclaiming your story (and identity) through ritual arts, storytelling, and creativity.

Upcoming Event: Hex the Patriarchy! How to Break the Curse of (un)Holy Womanhood
Friday 15th March, 6.30pm-9.15pm
Exeter Phoenix Arts Centre
Join Ellie and Laura from Wanderess in the wake of international women’s day for an ancestral uprising! The feminine won’t stay silent!
This workshop is about delving into and healing the inherited trauma around female intuition, sensuality, healing powers, and autonomy. From the witch wound, to the suppression and erasure of the sacred feminine, from the containment of female creativity and sexuality, to the control over women’s bodies in medicine – we will explore the enduring impact of patriarchal systems in religion, and society on the stories we tell about ourselves.
Epigenetics shows us that we carry ancestral trauma in our bodies/nervous systems, and this workshop offers creative and therapeutic tools to release those inherited patterns and rewrite your story as an individual woman, and for the collective.
Working with archetypes, theatrical storytelling, and somatic therapeutic technique we will guide you to reconnect with your inner (un)holy self, release her limiting beliefs, and unleash her power!
