Join the Alive Wire Wisdom Circle
Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is a free, facilitated, monthly gathering dedicated to the hosting of meaningful conversations that help us make sense of what is unfolding within us and in the world, in community, in times of change and uncertainty.
WE MEET ONLINE, FOR 1.5 HOURS, ON THE LAST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT 6PM SAST (South Africa Standard Time).
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK 6PM SAST IN YOUR TIME ZONE TO BE SURE.
Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is a supportive structure which revolves around the exploration of a monthly “wisdom theme” with time built in for individual sharing and collective sense-making.
It is the heart-beat of Alive Wire Academy.
Welcome!

“Medicine for the soul.”
A cross between a pub and a place of worship!
In a place of worship we connect with our divinity; in a pub we connect with our humanity. In Alive Wire Wisdom Circle we do both!
This is your community. Your level of commitment is your choice.
The whole of you is welcome!
“A huge thank you for your time and your skill. You have created such a unique space.
The resonance is beautiful, it fills me with joy.”
Monthly Wisdom Circles... AND MORE STILL
Not only do we congregate together on the last Sunday of each month but within the Alive Wire Wisdom Circle Facebook Group, there are numerous ad hoc mini courses and live transmissions, throughout the year.
Other teachers and wisdom keepers in the community will have a chance to show case their fields of interest.
This could be you!
Exciting, hey!
“Sunday night’s wisdom theme was spot on.”

“The Alive Wire Wisdom Circle epitomizes what I know about Gwendolen –
her honesty, her passion for growth,
her fearlessness and greatness.”
A Little About Gwendolen
My name is Gwendolen. I am an experienced coach, facilitator, teacher and guide.
I am the founder of Alive Wire Academy which houses my signature programs. I love holding space for clients and students to know their truth, drop deep, break free, learn, grow and evolve.
I have lived a full, rich and challenging life and taken the path less travelled.
My heart is for the awakening of humanity.
I am far from perfect. I am still on my journey. My life has not always been easy or straight forward. But it has been a crucible for my spiritual growth.
What I do know is that we need wisdom, inner strength and maturity in these times of turbulence. We need to be grounded and expanded; relaxed and alert; open and receptive, lights in the darkness.
I have been called to share my medicine.
I can’t do it alone.
Please join me.

There is no criteria for joining. However, as part of our “energy exchange”, and in order to keep our space clean and transparent, you will receive a Code of Consideration. You are invited to read and agree to this.
You will receive a Zoom link a few hours before each circle. It will be posted via email.

Is it really FREE?
Yes! It is completely free.
That’s right, you heard correctly. There’s no financial cost whatsoever.
While I have existing, paid-for, signature programs, Alive Wire Wisdom Circle stands alone and is unlike anything I have offered before.
It is important to me that Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is accessible to all. This is why it is a gift.
I can’t wait to share it with you.
Is Alive Wire Wisdom Circle religious?
No, is the simple answer.
Personally, I believe that the world is going through a massive evolutionary shift at this time. This is an awakening of consciousness and an awakening of the heart. There is a shedding of the old and a birthing of the new. We are remembering who we truly are. We are coming home to our wholeness.
So religious no, but spiritual yes.
Remember the obvious, Alive Wire Wisdom Circle exists to cultivate wisdom. There are copious and extraordinary storehouses of wisdom in the world. While we can happily glean from these rich sources, I am as keen that we develop our own wisdom; our own truth and our own unique inner guidance.
What Alive Wire Wisdom Circle IS
A fluid community which learns from each other and grows in wisdom with each other.
A transformative and healing space to congregate on a monthly basis.
A space to be seen, heard, respected and accepted.
A place where, together, we can meet the challenges and opportunities of these times with greater awareness, sovereignty and lightness of being.
An ongoing conversation in support of your journey of awakening.
Heart-opening and thought provoking; food for thought and time to think.
What Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is NOT
It is not a place for the close-minded, trouble-makers, tricksters, haters, polarisers or anyone opposed to the values of the Alive Wire community.
It is not
- a membership site or membership group
- a course, program or curriculum
- therapy or counselling
- a paid for product or service
- a movement or a forum
- a religion, creed or cult
- a quick fix
- for one group only
Here’s a reminder of our values: participation and contribution, agency and community, trust and transparency, sense-making and sovereignty, wisdom and love.
Anything else?
Part of my vision for Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is to create opportunities to heal division and separation. Any attempt to bring division or create separation in the group will not be tolerated.
You can expect to find Alive Wire Wisdom Circle on the last Sunday of every month throughout the year with a couple of holidays in between. This is my commitment to myself and to you. You won’t necessarily know who else will be in the room. There may be a whole bunch of people turning up that month. It may only be you and me! Over the many years I have been teaching and facilitating I have found that whoever is meant to be in the room will be in the room. This is where the real magic happens.
Come join me.
You have nothing to lose

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“I absolutely love what Gwendolen has created. Alive Wire Wisdom Circle is both structured and surprising. It’s like a treasure hunt. I never know what Gwendolen is going to share/lead us into next. It creates intrigue, it’s refreshing, it’s heartfelt, guided and simply delicious. Thank you for inviting me into your beautiful creation.”
“I really enjoyed the collective wisdom sharing. There were many open and in-depth shares. Thank you and well done for bringing this circle together.”
“I feel blessed to be part of this journey and to learn so much from it for myself. We don’t give ourselves time to think, ponder, reflect, or make sense of things. There are few spaces that allow for a person to speak freely and find out, in being witnessed, what is true for them. Alive Wire Wisdom Circle does all this.”
“We had a fabulous discussion. Gwendolen’s wisdom themes are always so spot on and I get to carry the essence of this throughout the entire week.”
“Gwendolen creates a space for self-contemplation, inner-reflection, discussion. Her thinking space opened up my thinking.”
“Gwendolen works on multiple levels. She never dictates the direction but gently steers the shared experience to greater heights. Her deft touch in this regard is an incredible talent and cultivated skill”.
“Gwendolen is able to create a space for a group to interact with each other and learn from each other. The degree to which each person is comfortable with being vulnerable is tribute to the safe environment that her facilitation allows.”
