Become a Wanderess

At Wanderess, we curate transformative retreats that invite women to reconnect with the archetypal aspects of the feminine within.

From the Sorceress —harnessing intuition and mysticism—to the Creatress —birthing new visions into the world— or the Tantress —creating magic through matter— our retreats provide sacred spaces for deep exploration and renewal, through creative expression and storytelling techniques.

Whether you are called to call in heroine energy as the Authoress, rewriting your own story, to step into the role of the Actress, finding the power of your voice and presence, or embody the regal power of the Empress, commanding abundance and sovereignty, each journey is designed to awaken and elevate your energy and identity.

The Empowering Energy of Reclaiming Feminine Archetypes

Through creative practices, holistic health, and the magic of travel, we transmute limiting beliefs and outdated structures, offering you the tools to live authentically and expansively.

All our retreats are carefully crafted and curated with a particular archetype in mind, while encouraging you to embrace your inner Wanderess energy— the energy of the “both/and”: the all-encompassing, the unlimited.

Each retreat invites you to embody the duality and vastness of the feminine spirit, where you can be both fierce and soft, grounded and free, intuitive and intellectual. By tapping into this boundless potential, we empower you to step fully into your truth, dissolve old boundaries and limitations, and embrace the limitless possibilities that await.
