Wild Soul Centre 👋🏼 Hi! I'm Eline

I help you guide and direct your energy and emotions through movement and nature.

Learn to shift overwhelm and burnout, reconnect with your body, and step into inner strength, joy and vitality. The Way of the Wild Soul Trail integrates around Qi Gong, Nature Spirituality and Story Dancing, as different ways to inquire into what is meaningful for us. Drawing from my personal and professional experience as a lifelong dancer and movement facilitator (trained in Movement Medicine and Qi Gong among other movement styles), medical anthropologist, shamanic practitioner, and person with an autoimmune condition, I weave those different strands into all the work I do. I help intuitive and sensitive achievers who are caring and creative to get out of survival mode, stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Navigate life’s challenges and regain your energy and clarity of purpose with
a set of embodied, creative and spiritual practices that create and sustain transformation and rekindle your inner spark! These practices rekindle your energy, life force, creativity, joy and sense of direction, so you can face life with calm confidence, re-sourced from deep within.

I’m on a powerful journey with called Sacred Strategy. She invites us to look at business through five different lenses, weaving the sacred into our offerings, our communities and the way we hold our work. The first session focused on the body of business, looking at the physical container of Wild Soul as a living being with its own energy, needs and rhythms.

Two things moved me particularly…
�The insight that businesses, just like we do, move through cycles of death and rebirth. After five years of walking my Wild Soul path since leaving academia, Ive witnessed this countless of times but didn’t really have language to frame it (opening anew archetypal layer here!.
�The second: the idea that it isn’t random that you find me and I find you. That there is something we are meant to discover together, beyond transactions and strategies. That lifts our connection to the level of a soul contract, however brief, however long….

I can’t wait to share more as week two, looking at the energy of your body led to magical stuff! Thank Amber!!!

Here is your LAST video for the moment, where I speak to the shadow side of archetypes. I also posted on the shadow side of the lover archetype on Substack this Sunday on Relational Alchemy: https://elinekieft.substack.com/p/relational-alchemy?r=4fo8bq

If you're interested to bring archetypal embodiment into your life for empowerment, inner peace, joy, sensuality, direction, tomorrow is the last day you can register for the Goddess Qi Gong course that is starting next week: https://www.elinekieft.com/goddess-qi-gong

I would love to welcome you on board for a 9-week transformative journey in a circle with other women in transition!

And here is the last snippet of the webinar on Moving with Archetypes back in October... This one addresses what happens when archetypes are out of balance... They can inflate or deflate and take us for a ride... Each archetype of course has both the inflated and deflated aspects, and here are just some examples alternating between inflated and deflated sides...

When the Maiden is deflated, she loses her curiosity. She feels old before her time, stuck in “what’s the point?” and afraid to begin.

When the Mother gets inflated, she becomes the over-giver. Everyone else comes first. She rescues, fixes and manages, even when nobody asked.

When the Warrior is deflated, she can’t protect her time, body or truth. She freezes, avoids and lets things slide that don’t feel right.

When the Queen gets inflated, she becomes controlling or superior. She knows best, delegates everything, and struggles to admit mistakes.

When the Crone is deflated, she disconnects from her depth and long view. She forgets what she already knows.

When the Unraveler gets inflated, she burns everything down. Constant endings, dramatic exits, tearing down what’s still alive.

When the Healer is deflated, she neglects herself and may feel numb, disconnected from her own wounds and needs.

When the Mystic gets inflated, she floats away. Spiritual bypassing, living in visions and symbols while ignoring practical life.

Any of those you recognise? Or are you curious to the ones I didn't mention... DM me for more info on the archetypal goddess course which is starting very soon now - registrations close on 15 January!

What about moving when you have pain? How can you encounter your body through new movements? If pain is a signal, what does it mean? Not necessarily to stop, simply to take care and adjust your movements... ! This is one of the last lips from the longer webinar on moving with archetypes...

I am preparing the Goddess Qi Gong companion journal, and can't wait to dive into the journey, which starts on 20 January. If you'd like to join, registration is still open until the 15th...

The course is designed for women in transition, and finding the strength, courage, joy, intimacy, grace, stillness, or whatever 'special' quality you need for taking your next steps. Not by talking about it, (although we do that too, we're women of course!), but by connecting to ancient, archetypal wisdom within and without. Will you join us too?

This little snippet from the Archetypal Webinar is about the importance of calling back your power, if it's been dispersed, lost or stolen... Unfortunately this happens a lot in our intense societies, with a thoughtless remark, a humiliating encounter in the supermarket, a relationship that is out of balance, or a power leak that goes unnoticed for many years. The good news is that you can call it back! Very important to do on a regular basis... Let me know if this speaks to you, and we can figure out how to minimise this happening in the future...

Goddess Qi Gong starts on 20 January - and registrations close as January 15th... This is a great place to reconnect with your power with the inspiration of the divine feminine archetypes...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a nice social media break, just like I did... Now back for some more inspiration. It's only one more week that registrations are open for the Goddess Qi Gong course, so if you're interested, don't hesitate! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns - for example today I received a question if the movement was seated, standing or laying down!

The movement parts will all be standing, but you can always do them seated on your chair if needed! We will not be laying down for any of these Qi Gong Goddess routines!

This is the invocation to the Crone, from the October meeting, and I know because I'm sharing snippets from that webinar, it looks like it's Crone-heavy... Nothing is further from the truth - we will cycle through 9 different archetypes; Maiden, Lover, Mother, Warrior, Queen, Crone, Unraveller, Healer and Mystic...

Let me know what you think, or pass this on to a woman in transition, a friend, partner, family member or colleague...

I look forward to holding space for and with you!

Meeting archetypes does not mean believing in something, analysing myths or getting it “right.” It begins much closer to home, with noticing a quality of energy, a mood, a gesture, a way your body wants to move or rest, how it wants to express itself. We can invite archetypal patterns to enter our psyche and body, to become embodied and lived resources rather than stories. Have you ever noticed that taking a shape or posture shifts your energy? That's what we'll be doing in Goddess Qi Gong: how we can step into confidence, into the joy and pleasure of the lover, the nourishing depth of mothering, or the fierce protective stance of the warrior, standing up for what we believe in... Which quality of goddess or divine feminine or womanhood could you boost a little right now?

It's the deep of winter. Cailleach shapes the land, gathering stones, calling the storms, teaching patience and deep time. Meet 3 siblings of the Crone Archetype - from Celtic, Greek and Slavic lands... Learn about wise woman energy embodied in different cultures (yes, it's my inner anthropologist speaking with joy here!), teaching us how to wait, listen, and trust the dark... And... if you happen to celebrate Christmas (because remember - not everyone does!!!) then I wish you a merry time with those you love!)

21/12/2025

Happy Midwinter! This is one of my favourite days in the year, this still point at the turning. Today I'm sharing a new snippet on Archetypes and how I work with them... They are living patterns of energy, ways life moves through us at different moments and seasons. In Goddess Qi Gong you have a chance to meet these patterns through the body, slowly and attentively, allowing to let deep wisdom rise to the surface, and inspire us how to be here now.

What does it mean to step into Crone, or Wise Old Woman wisdom? She represents our deep inner knowing but isn't not always easy to meet. She is one who dares to ask the hard questions, cackles at pretence and invites a kind of honesty that can feel uncomfortable because it is unconventional. She does not smooth the way or make things palatable, but she offers something rarer: the permission to be fully yourself.

Enjoy is the third short clip from the free Meeting the Crone webinar, as glimpse into my upcoming Goddess Qi Gong journey starting 20 January! Would love to welcome you there... All info in the link in bio!

When I was writing last week’s Substack essay on the erosion of the goddess and 4 shifts in cosmology and consciousness, I realised how many awesome exhibitions I’ve visited over the years….

Seeing this Venus of Laussel in an anthropology museum in Paris was really moving. She holds a bison horn in her hand, with 13 notches on it, probably indicating the yearly moon cycles and the menstrual times…

People have carved this image in a rock. That means it was special, or otherwise they wouldn’t have spent time and energy to go through this effort. What if this could reinspire us to celebrate our body?

In this short clip I'm sharing how I did a solo ceremony in a neolithic burial mound last year October, to prepare for my hysterectomy surgery. In a way this led to the 'birth' of the Goddess Qi Gong circle that I'm excited to host in the new year!

If you are a woman in transition, and you're curious to invite the power of 9 female archetypes into your journey, I'd love to invite you into the cauldron.

We'll be working with: Maiden, Lover, Mother, Warrior, Queen, Crone, Unraveler, Healer and Mystic. The course will start on 20 January, and you can find links in the bio for the course page and the free Crone webinar.

Keep an eye out for short clips like these from the earlier Meeting the Crone webinar, to get a flavour of this work! If you like to experience a 30 minute movement sequence on the Crone, you can view the entire webinar for free!

Please DM me if you have any questions...

Path-Finding

You know how that goes, walking, trailing, looping, meandering, retracing your steps... Many years I searched for the ‘umbrella’ term under which all my interests in dance, movement, nature, shamanism, lucid dreaming, embodied academia, ceremony and sacred art could find a home...

Clover Trail introduces 13 inspiring ingredients to Thrive in Life. Each on its own offers an incredibly rich dish, a life-time practice and strong medicine. They have helped me stay healthy and well, and I hope they benefit you too. Some you will already know, others might be trails less traveled, but foremost I intend this to be a place where Soul is welcome and celebrated, at the very least through beautiful words, poetry and pictures, but also in our daily awareness of the extraordinary. Here is to Wonder-fulness and being filled with wonder... Happy Trailing!
