WanderWi is a soul-rooted sanctuary for healing, connection, and aligned living. It’s not just a business — it’s a movement. At its core, WanderWi offers three branches: The Retreat, The Refuge, and The Resource. Together, they create space for inner healing, community, and spiritual guidance both in-person and online.

Only The Resource: The Awakened Arising is currently live. The Retreat and Refuge arms are in development, with more information to come soon. If you’re called to this mission, you’re early — and that’s a beautiful place to be.

“WanderWi” is a blend of movement and return — the journey (wander) and the coming home (wi). The “Wi” stands for within, but it’s also short for Wiley, the founder behind the vision. It’s a reminder that while we may roam far and wide in search of healing, purpose, or belonging… the real magic happens when we return to ourselves. This is a space to wander with intention — and remember who you really are.

WanderWi is currently being developed as a hybrid organization — part spiritual business, part social movement. It includes for-profit offerings (like retreats and matched guidance services), but is also rooted in equity and accessibility. Eventually, a nonprofit branch will support sanctuary work and outreach to underserved communities.

Easy. Join the mailing list (if you haven’t already), follow along on TikTok, Instagram and our Podcast, and attend a virtual healing circle or live event. As we grow (slowly and intentionally), you’ll get updates, invitations, and maybe even a few divine nudges from the Universe.

Want to support the mission directly? Tips and energy exchanges are always welcome via CashApp or Venmo.

WanderWi is currently based in Colorado, with plans to establish the main retreat center in Oklahoma. Virtual offerings and matchmaking services are available worldwide.

Not at all. You just need to be curious — about healing, about growth, about coming home to yourself. Whether you’re diving into shadow work, working on your mental health, rebuilding your self-worth, or just craving community, you’re welcome here. This is a space for the seekers, the skeptics, and the soul-hungry alike. No dogma, no pressure — just an open door.

Think: sacred meets soulful. We’re rooted in deep healing, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. There’s space here for tears, laughter, late-night epiphanies, and early-morning meditations. It’s western wild meets grounded woo — with campfires, compassion, and community at the core. Whether you’re dancing barefoot under the stars or journaling in silence with a cup of tea, you’re in the right place.

WanderWi isn’t a one-size-fits-all platform. It’s a sacred experiment rooted in authenticity, inclusivity, and lived experience — not algorithms or ego. This isn’t just about healing — it’s about remembering who you are, connecting with people who get it, and creating a life that feels like yours.

Awakened Arising is the resource arm of WanderWi — a sacred matchmaking network built to connect spiritual seekers with aligned guides, teachers, and healers. It’s not a marketplace or a directory. It’s a carefully held bridge between those walking through awakening and those who have walked it before. Whether you need intuitive guidance, energy work, astrology, or just someone who gets it — this is the place to find your people.

You fill out a simple form sharing a bit about your current journey — no need to overshare or prove anything. From there, we review your answers and personally match you with 2–3 guides who energetically align with your needs. You’ll receive their bios, offerings, and links to reach out. You’re never obligated to book, and there’s no algorithm — just intention and intuition.

There’s no fee for seekers to be matched with guides. If you choose to book a session, a small service fee may be added to the guide’s rate — this supports the ongoing maintenance of the platform and helps keep the heart of this mission beating. Full transparency is always the goal, and you’ll know any costs up front.

Every guide on Awakened Arising has been hand-selected or nominated by someone in the community. No random submissions. No fake spiritual flexing. They’re real people doing real work — and many have walked through the fire themselves. As the platform grows, more formal reviews and vetting tools will be introduced, but for now, trust and resonance lead the way.

You can apply directly or be nominated by someone who believes in your work. The current intake process includes a brief form, a one-on-one conversation, and an onboarding model that starts with energy exchange and evolves into a hybrid system of support. Founding guides are being carefully curated — not just for what they offer, but who they are.

No problem at all. Whether you’re a guide or a seeker, this is a co-committed space — you’re always free to step away if it no longer feels aligned. Life shifts. Energy changes. We honor that. You can rejoin at any time when the resonance returns.

This isn’t about scrolling and shopping — it’s about being seen, supported, and matched based on your current energetic season. A public directory would dilute that intention. Think of this as sacred curation, not mass exposure. When you reach out, you’re met with presence, not pressure.

Absolutely. If you’ve worked with a healer, teacher, or guide who changed your life — or even just held space when you needed it most — you can nominate them through the simple form on the site. This movement is built on trust, resonance, and word-of-mouth magic. Some of the most powerful practitioners are the ones who aren’t seeking the spotlight, and your recommendation could help them reach someone who needs exactly what they offer.

It’s personal. It’s human. It’s not about algorithms or high-volume visibility. It’s about sacred alignment, real connection, and intentional growth. Awakened Arising isn’t trying to be the biggest — it’s committed to being the most soul-aligned. Every match, every interaction, and every addition to the guide circle is handled with deep care. This is a movement, not just a model.

The very first WanderWi retreat — The Sacred Unfolding — is currently in the planning stages. It will be hosted on sacred land in Oklahoma, with full details (including dates and pricing) released once everything is ready. Think: wide open skies, healing circles, and soul-deep transformation.

WanderWi retreats are intentionally crafted to be safe, grounded, playful, and sacred. There will be movement, stillness, laughter, and maybe a few tears. Think spiritual growth meets inner child healing — all in a setting that honors rest as much as revelation. You’ll be supported, nourished, and invited to just be.

Retreats will be all-inclusive — no tiers or upsells. Exact pricing is still being finalized, but the goal is to offer luxury-level intention without luxury-level ego. Scholarships and payment plans will be available because healing should never be behind a paywall.

Nope. WanderWi is spiritual, not religious. People from all paths and belief systems are welcome — as long as they come with an open heart and respect for others. This is a space for healing, connection, and authenticity, not dogma.

Join the mailing list and follow along on socials, TikTok, Instagram, and our Podcast. Early access will be given to those already connected, and spots are expected to fill quickly once registration opens.

Not at all. You just have to be human. Whether you’re deep on your path or just taking your first brave steps, WanderWi retreats are designed to meet you where you are. You don’t have to know all the answers — you just have to be willing to show up, as you are.

Bridle and Breath is a safe haven for animals and humans alike. It’s the heart-centered, mud-splattered, tail-wagging part of WanderWi — a place where healing happens in the presence of our four-legged, feathered, and furry friends.

Eventually, yes. While the full vision is still unfolding, the goal is to create short, bookable sessions where locals and guests can connect with the animals for comfort, grounding, and joy.

A mix of rescues and ranch companions — horses, pigs, barn dogs, maybe a duck or two. Some are just here to live a peaceful life, others will become healing partners. Each one has a story, and they’re all part of the sanctuary’s magic.

Absolutely. Volunteer opportunities will become available as Bridle and Breath grows, and donations are always welcome. In the meantime, simply following along, sharing the vision, or sending love makes a difference. If you’d like to contribute financially, donations can be sent via CashApp or Venmo — all funds go toward bringing the full WanderWi vision to life, including care for the animals, retreat creation, and community offerings.

Yes — when it feels aligned. Animal interaction will be woven into some retreat offerings, always with care and intention. It’s all about mutual respect, connection, and healing.

Because healing isn’t just a human thing. Animals have a way of grounding us, softening us, and showing us unconditional love. At WanderWi, we believe they’re not just companions — they’re co-healers, soul guides, and sacred mirrors. The Refuge is a space where both humans and animals get to feel safe, seen, and loved.
