Wise Woman Within You
Joan Carpenter believes that true healing is possible when we let go of intellectual concepts, and come from a space of no judgement, and compassion for others. Wise Woman Within You supports women as they journey inward to find answers and transformation.
Wise Woman Within You offers monthly ‘Women’s Circle’ group sessions, Private Guidance sessions, and ‘Wild and Nurturing Inner Journey’ weekend retreats (small groups for women to connect, discover inner-wisdom and personal growth).
We often include walking in nature and being beneath the trees for visualisations and meditations, working with the Five Elements and Five Archetypes of Elemental Woman. Visualisation, self-enquiry, and journaling are also used to connect to ourselves in a deeper way.

Joan Carpenter's Invitation to You


- Do you allow your own intuition to guide you? Do you trust it?
- Would you like to feel more connected to yourself and answer your own questions?
- Have you ever felt you were in your own way and did not have a clue what to do about it?
I can answer yes to all of these questions. Yet what I have experienced since doing these Elemental Archetypal practices is a sense of freedom, freedom to be me. I allow my truth to speak to me, to move forward in a way I have not done in the past. Feeling supported and with greater ease because the cycles give us the form we need within a Lunar Month – not trying to do it all in one day! These processes allow us to go deeper to access knowledge from within ourselves – then to feel the wonder and power of this new connection with yourself, guiding you and moving forward. These are powerful and profoundly simple ways to practice coming home to Self.
Join me and other women for a time of self-reflection, meditation, visualisation, movement, and journaling to find your own wisdom and to answer these questions. Celebrate coming home to Self Wisdom – no longer silent!
Together we explore the Five Elemental Archetypes of Wise Woman, Amazon, Goddess, Alchemist, and Earth Mother each session. You will learn simple, beautiful, yet powerful practices to support you on your journey. No prior experience with the Elemental Archetypes needed. The depth that comes from exploring the elemental archetypes and how they speak to us is enriching, nourishing at a soul level and inspirational for our whole being. The practices and meditations plus the pondering of questions which lead us into our silent wisdom can be so profound yet simple. The guidance creates a safety net of love, acceptance and non-judgement so women can surrender to themselves and their own realisations. An ethereal holding like a hug of support from a dear friend (our self) while we be with what is.
