Say yes: birthing a new world

We are birthing a new world, together. We mothers know how to do this. Can we give ourselves to a hard and painful labour? Trust the moment, say yes.

Hoarding or trusting

Panic buying and coronavirus hoarding. What are we learning about our relationship with trust, and with what we value most deeply?

This broken and beautiful world

There is so much broken in the world. But there is beauty too. SO MUCH beauty. Let it soften you. Let it show you the way.

Flip your fear

Fear is a teacher. If we let it, it can show us what we most value, our deepest needs, and how to come more alive.

Acting from fear, or acting from wisdom?

In my work as a coach, I’ve learned that urgency is often fuelled by fear, rather than by wisdom.

Wild Courage - the book

Wild Courage: A Journey of Transformation For You & Your Business by Elle Harrison (Watkins, 2011)

What do we do when facing change? Do we resist and shrink back to what is safe, known and familiar? Or do we head fiercely into the unknown, journeying through our shadows towards the creativity and vitality of an emerging world?

Wild Courage is for anyone ready to turn into change. That change might be dramatic or subtle, personal, professional, part of a wider social picture or simply the longing for purpose and meaning. Rather than resisting or surviving these changes, Wild Courage offers a way to creatively engage with them.

Guiding you on an inner journey of transformation, it challenges you to reconnect with little-known, little-loved parts of yourself and life – Dying, Stillness, Intuition, Wildness, Vulnerability, Surrender – and shows how these unlikely qualities are actually a path to growth, fulfillment and power. At the end of the journey you emerge with a more courageous and wider view of who you are and how you might engage more fully with our changing times.
