Wild and Wiser
The Wild & Wiser Marketplace
Our Marketplace is a curated gathering of thoughtful, purposeful women who craft, cook, grow, heal, lead and create with intention.
Browse, taste, explore, experience and connect at your own pace throughout the weekend.
From slow-made goods to wild creativity, every stall brings its own magic.
Wellbeing Therapist
Lisa Salvi
Lisa loves connecting with people and creating a nurturing space for self care. She has been on a path of wellbeing and self development for many years and knows how powerful touch can be.
Focussing on her own self healing means that she can show up as a clearer channel for her clients, holding space and being present for them. Understanding that slowing down and feeling more is the way to thrive, she offers deeply relaxing, restorative and balancing treatments for mind, body and soul.
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
"To me, Wild & Wiser means being more consciously aware of myself and others, speaking honestly and authentically, rather than running on autopilot and abandoning my true self. Healing from my past and becoming more present in the moment, tuning in to how I feel inside, bringing my attention back to myself if I start to get distracted - it's a life-long process and focus!
When we each take responsibility for ourselves and our own healing everyone can evolve and our World can change for the better"

Her passions are nature, astrology and creation and is excited to be part of Wild and Wiser as it is at the end of what is always crazy season so being emersed in the beautiful Wareham forest with aligned souls sounds like heaven!
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
“For me, being wild and wiser is about staying connected to yourself, nature and what truly matters.
The wild is creativity, freedom and following your curiosity. The wiser is learning to trust yourself, slow down and live more intentionally."
Waning Crystals
Georgia Blainey
Waning Crescent Crystals is a heart-led brand offering hand-curated crystals, magickal tools, jewellery and witchy accessories to bring balance, joy and peace into everyday life. Created during the pandemic, the project was born from a desire to share the transformative power of crystals and make holistic, intentional practices more accessible to all.
Rooted in mindfulness and intuition, Waning Crescent Crystals invites people to slow down, feel grounded, and reconnect with themselves through meaningful, soul-nourishing rituals.
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
“Being Wild & Wiser to me means honouring both instinct and experience — trusting my intuition while growing through everything life teaches me. It’s about staying connected to nature, energy, and my inner knowing, while evolving into a more grounded, aware, and empowered version of myself. It’s the balance of magick and maturity, of feeling deeply and living consciously.”

What Wild & Wiser means to me?

Katy Jepson
Crowns by Katy
Crowns by Katy was created from a desire to create art with flowers and to make durable, wearable and affordable accessories that allow people to express themselves be that at a festival, a gig, in their job or daily life.
The aim is to create totally unique, fun and fabulous headwear to suit any vibe - think fairytale, gothic, mermaid, disco fever and everything in between! Every crown is one of a kind which adds to the magic and she loves creating bespoke designs to match people’s exact outfits. Specialising in eye‑catching light‑up flower crowns.
What she loves most is how the crowns make people feel. They bring so much joy, and she gets a real thrill when something she's created finds the person it’s meant for and heads off on its own adventure!
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
"I am incredibly lucky to have a network of amazing women and girls around me. We’re all supporting each other as we grow into our own ‘wild and wiser’ version of ourselves, navigating this mad journey of life together.
To me, being wild is having the courage to know what does and doesn’t serve you, and being able to say how you feel with kindness — but without apology.
As my friends and I shimmy into our 40s, we’re really enjoying the wisdom this new phase brings. I’m grateful for the years ahead, which I know will bring even more confidence… and a steadily decreasing number of f**ks to give. Bring it on!"
Spend Green CIC
Liz Christou
After a successful corporate career solving big business problems, Liz adapted her skills to make a difference where it really mattered to her — protecting our natural environment. Lots of research and applying techniques to her own life later, she wrote a book sharing practical ideas for aligning spending our money with our values.
She then created Spend Green – an online marketplace (launching Summer 2026) designed to make it just as easy and a lot of fun to buy everything you need locally and sustainably. Helping every pound we spend build a more creative, resilient, greener and fairer local economy.
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
“ Being wild to me means less second guessing myself or holding myself back because of what someone might think. And realising that people generally want to support each other which means there is a safety net all around you when you take a leap of faith.
Wiser for me is about truly listening to people who see the world differently — not just hearing their point so you can argue against it. Progress comes from understanding where someone is coming from, even if you never end up agreeing with them."
Indy Treadway
Indys Ceramics
Indy is potter based in rural Dorset, where I work in my little garden shed. I enjoy living close to nature and finding inspiration in the colours and textures of the countryside.
I create everyday ceramics such as mugs, plates and bowls. I find working with my hands and creating something from scratch rewarding.
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
"For me, being wild and wiser is about slowing down enough to reconnect with yourself, nature and your creativity.
Working with clay is a mindful practice that reminds me to embrace the process, not just the outcome. I can't wait to share my ceramics and spend a weekend surrounded by nature and inspiring women at Wild & Wiser."
Emma Marshall
BAO Skincare
Emma is the owner of BAO Skincare, a Dorset-based organic skincare brand dedicated to creating simple, effective products that are kind to both skin and the planet. Passionate about natural wellbeing, sustainability and helping people feel confident in their own skin, Emma took over BAO in 2025 to continue the brand's mission of making high-quality, ethical skincare accessible to everyone.
Handmade in Dorset using organic, vegan ingredients, BAO Skincare is built on the belief that self-care doesn't need to be complicated – just thoughtful, nourishing and rooted in nature.
What Wild & Wiser means to me?
"For me, being Wild & Wiser is about slowing down enough to reconnect with what really matters. It's finding joy in simple things, spending time in nature, caring for yourself and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. It feels like the perfect reminder that wisdom doesn't always come from doing more – sometimes it comes from giving yourself permission to be."
