WELCOME TO WHISPERING WISDOM

Whispering Wisdom was born from a deep desire to slow down, listen in, and live with more meaning. ​In this noisy, and sometimes baffling, world, it can be hard to hear the voices of wisdom, balance and harmony, and this can leave us feeling a little lost and disconnected from ourselves and others. Whispering Wisdom offers a space for quiet reflection and contemplation, a space to connect with the wisdom of our ancestors and a space for the transformation and healing of our spiritual being.​​

 

At the heart of what we do are three guiding values: Compassion, Connection, and Grace.​

​

Compassion, because we believe kindness — toward ourselves, one another, and the more-than-human world — is the root of healing. And compassion means more than simply being kind. Compassion calls on us to take action to relieve the suffering of the world and every little action we take with this attitude helps to make the world a better place.

​

Connection, because we are not separate. Everything is connected. We are woven into relationship: with our bodies, our stories, our communities, our environments. This is the web of life, and we want to honour those connections, with grace and compassion.

 

Grace, not as something lofty, but as a way of moving through life with gentleness, integrity, and trust in the unfolding path. A light and humble step upon the Earth that recognises that our intricate connections with all other beings. 

 

​About Our Founder

Whispering Wisdom was founded by Chris, a writer, mentor, and spiritual ecologist based in the north west of England. With a background in mindfulness teaching, Buddhist practice, and decades of experience supporting vulnerable people individually and in groups, Chris brings a grounded, heartful presence to everything she offers. As well as training in counselling and life coaching, she has completed an MA in Ecology and Spirituality, in which she specialised in exploring the power of contemplative practices in times of ecological crisis. This work is deeply personal and deeply hopeful — an offering from one person to another, and to the wider world.

 

​​​Looking Ahead

As Whispering Wisdom grows, we hope to welcome other kindred souls into the circle — writers, facilitators, creatives, and collaborators who share our vision for a more compassionate and connected world.​​​

 

Our Ethics

We believe in paying back and paying it forward. This year, 5% of profits from our Whispering Wisdom Prize Poetry Competition will be donated to two wonderful charities that support people with debilitating disabilities: Sarcoidosis UK and Narcolepsy UK. To find out more about the wonderful work they do supporting people living with these two rare conditions, please visit their websites at https://www.sarcoidosisuk.org/ and https://www.narcolepsy.org.uk/​

 

We honour the responsibility we all carry for creating a more harmonious world. Our activities are, therefore, deeply rooted in expanding our consciousness and cultivating compassion. ​​
