Own Your Wisdom, Rewild Your Business, Claim the Vastness of Your Soul Work
What is The Return?
The Return is a transformative 12-month journey into the full power and possibility of your work
& a business that feels joyful, abundant and sustainable.
It is a deep reclamation of the Wise Woman archetype.
As a wayshower, you are not here to struggle with trying to fit your business into the small spaces allowed for you. You are supposed to have a bigger voice, sharing your wisdom, vision and gifts without apology.
To have a transformative effect on the world.
Your business can be sacred. It can be healing for both you and the world around you. It can be a spell you are casting and a seed you are planting for a better future. It can break all the rules and still thrive.
It’s time for the Wise Woman in us all to come out of hiding and take her place back at the centre of our culture.
Let’s make this journey…together
A Container
This will be a small, intimate group of just 8-10 women to ensure you get plenty of personal attention. You will be expertly and compassionately held and supported for a year as you grow into your own brand of soul leadership. Instead of feeling alone and frustrated, you will feel seen in your gifts, your dreams and receive support in holding the highest possibility for your work.
Growing a soul-led business is no ordinary task. There are very few guide who can truly hold the depth of it. It is crucial that we have a safe space to share our thoughts, fears and greatest hopes and receive understanding, belief and encouragement.
A Council
The Return is not so much a course as it is an opportunity for powerful Wise Women to come together, have inspiring conversations, question our conditioning and weave our insights and leadership together. So that we form something much more powerful than the sum of its parts.
Together we will reimagine, discuss and experiment with new ways of doing business, sharing our experiences and getting clear on our most potent offerings.
A Coven
Change can feel impossible when you’re creating alone. The Return will be a secret haven to cook up spells for ourselves, the collective and our shared future.
We’ll be playing with ways of creating that take us away from the grind and exhaustion and into ease, flow and magnetism.
A Community
Growing a business that’s a little (or a lot!) outside the mainstream can feel really overwhelming, confusing and lonely. Coming into a gathering of women with a similar vision, similar fears and similar longings to give and receive support makes it all so much easier.
We can soothe our fears and feel filled up by each other. We will share our resources, encourage and guide each other. We can lean on each other as we grow throughout this year.
An Incubator
You don’t need to have all (or any!) of the answers to join The Return. All of who you are is welcome.
This is a space to just show up as yourself – with an openness to experimentation. Our best work comes from being open to play and trial and error.
This is both your soft place to fall and your launchpad for expansion 🙂
An Activation
The overall aim of The Return is to guide you into understanding and activating your deepest soul purpose, mission and vision. To trust who you are and what you came here to be be. To step into the truest, most restorative version of your leadership.
So that we can all benefit form what you have to give.
Soul-led businesses can be just as much a healing for ourselves as they are for the world around us.
Working with Niamh is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Her innate ability to read energy gives her access to an amount of inner wisdom which is incredible. This wisdom guided and underpinned each weeks session and the level of work was so deep that I’m still processing it.
Niamh is absolutely the best facilitator that I have ever worked with. The Return was a massive body of work, which felt like a tapestry being woven every week with each bit of knowledge being imparted expertly by Niamh.
The Experience
What You Receive:
The Return runs over 12 months from 27th February 2023
It will be a small, intimate group (8-10 women) so that you receive plenty of personal attention, insight, feedback and holding for your business growth
Live group gatherings take place every Monday morning 10am-12pm Irish time (UTC)* on Zoom
There will be four opportunities to gather in circle each month (you are not required to attend every session!), in addition to 1:1 support:
1. Four In-Person Gatherings*
4 of the monthly gatherings will be in-person at my home in Dublin – once every three months, at the turning point of each season.
*NOTE* If you are outside this timezone but interested in this programme, please get in touch and let me know.
I will build the format of this group offering around the need of the women participating and this group is open to shift to meet the requirements of those in Europe, Aus/NZ and Canada/US
2. Two Private 1:1 Sessions
Included in the programme are two Business Alchemy Sessions to provide you with detailed clarity on anything you need support with, from your marketing and messaging to how you are supposed to be offering your work, to pricing, timing and ideal clients. These will get you unstuck, motivated, clear and confident in what you have to offer.
3. Two Online Group Gatherings each month (required)
– The first gathering will dive into a that month’s topic, teaching and discussion
– The second will be a Q & A and spotlight session (each member will have an opportunity to present their work and ask for feedback, support, insight)
– I encourage you to attend these two gatherings, as they are the backbone of the programme.
2. One Monthly Energy Activations & Detailed Channeled Group Guidance (optional)
Once per month, the whole group get to enjoy a deeply nourishing and activating energy healing session, after which you receive feedback on the group energy and lots of detailed channeled guidance to keep you on track.
3. One Monthly Co-Working Session (optional)
A chance each month to tackle big and small tasks in the company of other members of the group. Two hours to chat, iron out issues…and just get things done that you might not otherwise when left all alone.
Co-working is a brilliant way to get moving on anything you have been feeling stuck on – from building sales pages to doing your accounts! This is an optional gathering and you are free to drop in as it suits you each month.
6. Online Home
– All materials and recordings will be held in a private online site for this group
– A private Mighty Networks (ethical Facebook alternative) group will be available for discussions, sharing of resources and connection throughout the year
I wanted real, authentic connection within a space and group that were consciously and intentionally doing things differently in business, paving the way for purposeful work and leadership. Niamh definitely is a role model of this and guided us with such integrity to deepen into what that looked and felt like for us all.
I was really surprised at the depth of connection with the group, it blew my heart open. I was amazed at the interconnectedness of our stories, paths, work and the deeper ripple of consciousness weaving and being woven for us all. I loved our weekly calls, the chats, the sharing, the learning and working together that Niamh curated with such precision for our group.
I feel so much more anchored, honest and attuned to my life’s work. I shed so many of the stories and should’s around myself and my work and refined how to best honour and support myself on my path. This journey was so rich in true, whole, real connection and was so refreshing, healing, inspiring and motivating! I cannot recommend Niamh and her offering The Return more highly!
The Return of the Wise Woman
This is a mythical journey. And also it is real and practical.
We all know where the Wise Woman resides. In a hard-to-locate little hut at the centre of a dark forest.
She has been hiding there for centuries, in so many of our fairytales and myths.
Very few manage to locate her, despite many quests.
All this time, she has been holding the secrets and remedies we all yearn for. The lost parts of ourselves and our culture. She is the keeper of ancient feminine wisdom, the seer of truth, the provider of remedies, the wayshower and alchemist.
She is the archetype of the Crone that lies in all of us. For too long, she has been keeping safe the wise secrets of the Feminine within a fearful world intent on domination.
The Wise Woman was driven into hiding and darkness, waiting until it was safe to speak all she knows back into the collective again.
That time has come.
It is time for you, Wise Woman, to stop hiding your soul and your knowledge. To make the brave journey out of hiding and to re-take your place at the centre of things. To become the leader and guide you have come here to be.
The wayshower we all need you to be.
This means fully claiming who you are and owning your transformative power.
It is no longer time for silence. You have come here to have a voice. To learn and share your wisdom.
Are you ready to step into the full power and potential of your work?
To use your business as a means of healing yourself, your family line and all of us in the collective?
Are you ready to make your return?
“It is always possible to refuse the Return, to go into permanent retreat, or to make the search for personal enlightenment and self illumination your lifetime’s work – but if you do, chances are that, sooner or later, the world will come knocking.
For others of us, as the world (and our own species) lurches from crisis to crisis, as we listen to the cry of a grieving Earth, the call to Return is strong.”
– Sharon Blackie, “If Women Rose Rooted”
Your Heroine’s Journey
There is a point in every heroine’s journey, after all her trials and experiences, after all the grappling she has done with her own personal demons, after all the integration of her life’s lessons…when she must make her return. To share with her community all that she has learned.
Though she feels imperfect. Though she feels unfinished. Though she is unsure if her wisdom will be welcomed.
You probably don’t need another course or another certificate to prove your knowledge. You probably don’t need to wait around for other people’s validation in order to honour the wisdom you already possess.
Hiding your gifts and being under-compensated for your work does us all a disservice.
Pretending your work is small and unimportant is not in alignment with the times we are in.
It’s time to share with your community what you have learned. To share your own unique practices and perspectives so that we can all benefit too.
Making your return means validating yourself, stepping into your leadership, honouring all that life has taught you and valuing your wisdom enough that you decide to share and be recognised for it.
The call to bring your souls longings into the world can feel so daunting and lonely. With Niamh holding this space you find a way to blossom and move more into who you are here to be.
The calls were supportive, and beautifully structured, with different themes each week. Niamh is a well of wisdom around starting and navigating your heart’s work and understands how to support and guide you.
I have made a group of soul friends in The Return which I will be forever grateful for. I can’t recommend The Return enough.
It has been transformative and I am still alchemising all that I experienced during the year. I feel safer, stronger, more aligned and trusting since completing the Return and loving my business even more.
The Pillars
Understanding You
Deep insight into and claiming of your gifts and strengths
Understanding your unique energy and working with your creative ebbs and flows
Understanding how you shine and what it is that attracts others to you and your work
Bringing awareness to and working with your inner child, ancestral or past life fears so that we learn to care for our nervous systems as we grow our work and become more visible.
Your Soul Work
Getting clear on what your soul offering is
Homing in on who are you here to work with and the real transformation you are here to bring
Getting familiar with the soul of your business, its values, vision and mission
Managing the dance between your own energy and the (often pushy!) energy of your business
Aligning with the Bigger Picture
For our work to thrive, it should strike a balance between our needs and the needs of the collective – our own personal evolution and the evolution of this planet.
The way we work and do business is changing rapidly, in response to a changing world.
How can we align what we’re doing with the new values and new ideas that are being ushered in now, at this transition period in our world? How can we use our businesses to plant seeds for a better future? How can we place our businesses in the flow of change so they are ready to thrive?
Channeled Teachings
There will be monthly detailed energy readings for the group and sharing of other channeled messages relevant to what we are learning and discussing. These will keep you grounded, inspired and open your mind to possibility.
You will also have the opportunity to receive very specific personal guidance for your business during two 2-hour 1:1 sessions included in the programme.
Human Design & Gene Keys
We will dive into the amazing wisdom of Human Design and Gene Keys. Both systems are interlinked and provide so many keys to how we can best live, work, create and prosper as our true selves.
They also contain incredible teachings on the future of business and prosperity.
You will learn how you are supposed to build a brand, offer services and create a culture through your business that is in alignment with your personal design and the evolution of our culture.
Energy Work
We cannot run Wise Women businesses without understanding energy.
Becoming masters of energy allows us to step into our creative roles and let go of feeling powerless in business.
We will learn how to work with the energy of our own body and also our soul field. We will learn techniques to work with the energy of our business offerings, launches, messaging and money that allow us to step from exhaustion into co-creative, expansive flow.
Themes
Belonging
Learning to come out of the shadows and take up space and in our culture for your unique business. Understanding your role and place in the collective at this time. Letting go of feeling isolated and different.
Frequency & Magnetism
Becoming fully and visibly yourself is the only true way to finding your place and your soul clients. The world is constantly responding to your energy, much more than to the business strategy you’re engaging.
Letting it be Easy
Divesting from the hustle and overgiving and learning how to make our businesses feel easy, pleasurable, regenerative and in flow.
The Energetics of Money
Coming into right relationship with money. Getting clear on sustainable pricing and money stewardship. Moving into true abundance and reciprosity.
Owning our Power
Understanding ourselves as powerful co-creators of our work and moving into flow with life, rather than feeling exhausted, resentful and broke!
Intimacy
Welcoming clients, success and money requires trust in intimacy with life and others. We will work with our boundaries, finding the sweet spot between keeping ourselves open enough to welcome in clients and money and closed enough to protect our energy.
Devotion
Seeing our business as sacred, as a moving prayer, as an act of love and service to both ourselves, our families and the world around us.
Impact
We are here to make an impact and leave a legacy. It is not enough to simply have a dream or idea of a new way of doing things – we have to ground this into something real. How you do this will be unique to you.
Voice & Message
Clarity and depth of message – what is it exactly that you want to communicate, to whom and how? Helping you communicate a moving, potent message in a way that feels sustainable to you.
Your Work as a Part of the Evolution of the Whole
Running a sacred Wise Woman business means understanding its place in the larger evolution of the cosmos. Where does your work fit in the bigger picture and how can you align your business with the values of the new Earth?
Who is this for?
The Return is for you if:
- You run a holistic, healing, coaching, visionary, creative or changemaking business that feels like it comes with a big mission (even if you’re not exactly sure how to describe it yet!)
- You know you have been hiding or playing down your message and want to receive support with stepping into your true power and potential.
- You’ve taken all the business and marketing courses or advice but it just never seems to suit your business exactly. You want to align what you’re doing to something deeper and more meaningful. To question ‘business-as-usual’.
- You identify with the Wise Woman/Priestess archetype and would like to explore and express this part of you further through your business. Ideally, you want your business to feel like a sacred offering.
- You want your work to feel abundant, joyful and sustainable rather than draining, frustrating and lonely.
- You are longing for rich conversation with thoughtful women; support and understanding from a circle of others on a similar path.
- You are comfortable with complexity and paradox and open to hearing and holding other points of view and perspectives while in circle with others.
- You would love to experience collaboration over competition in business.
- You’re interested in going deep and committing to a full year’s support so that you can see real transformation and expand your voice and visibility.
It took me months and months to get there and that’s why the year-long program is vital for longer-term support and primal returning.
The circle of women were incredible, and the support, learnings and growth were phenomenal, but I guess that’s no surprise because Niamh Gallagher is so attuned, nurturing and pioneering. I am forever grateful.

About Me
The Wise Woman archetypal journey is one that I have been navigating and learning from for many years now and so I have plenty of guidance to share! I also bring a background in communications, marketing and business development to add a very real world and practical element to my support.
I believe the world is deeply craving a new type of leader and it is time for wise, sensitive women to step in their truth, purpose and power and guide us all forward.
But for this to happen, we need to reclaim all the traits in ourselves that were pushed to the sidelines in our culture over many thousands of years.
My work helps you find the thread of meaning and truth at the heart of everything you’ve been experiencing in your life…and allows you to weave a new story that’s true to your soul.
FAQ’s
Will I receive personal attention in this group?
Even if there is extra demand, I will be closing the group off when it reaches the maximum ten participants.
Holding the energy of an intimate group is a huge undertaking for me so it is important I can do this to the very best of my ability and with integrity. You will benefit from being part of an intimate group and the personal attention it allows me to give you and your business dreams.
What if I can't make all sessions?
After that, there is an optional co-working session each month, which you can choose to drop into whenever you like and a group energy healing session, which you do not necessarily need to take part in or attend live.
So your foundational commitment is two live sessions per month. However, our gatherings will be recorded so you can catch up if you miss one or more.
I'm not sure I qualify for The Return?
If you’re unsure whether The Return will suit where you’re currently at in your business or will meet your needs, please feel free to book in for a 30-minute chat with me. Or just send me an email at the address below.
I am very happy to discuss this with you. There is no obligation to commit following our chat. It is as much in my best interest as it is in yours that you are the right fit for this programme 🙂
What if I can't commit to a full year?
If you’re not sure you want to join a year-long programme, then The Return is not for you!
A year actually flies by and I really believe it takes a full 12 months to go deep and really see a transformation in your business.
If you do not have the funds to commit to this programme, I fully understand and a once-off session might be better for you right now.
Please only commit to this programme if you fully intend on staying the course and can make all twelve monthly payments without it causing a lot of stress and worry. It is good for these payments to feel like a stretch as this will help you take the investment seriously and step up to the plate for yourself. But it shouldn’t require you worrying about meeting your basic needs!
No refunds will be offered, as I cannot replace you on this programme once it has begun. This is a closed group for the full 12 months.
If you are unsure, please book a chat with me and we can see if this will suit you.
Do you offer other payment options?
Or make bi-annual or quarterly payments also. Please just let me know what you would prefer and I will set it up for you.
Do you cater for other time zones?
I feel The Return has guided me back to trusting my own inner wisdom and knowing in my personal and professional life. It has helped me to return several times over to living a life that is true to myself.
It was my first time being in a committed women’s group/container where I have a deeper understanding of myself and learned a lot not only about myself, but about the lives of others. Although I work as a Psychotherapist and I hear people’s stories every day on a one to one basis, there was something different about being a part of a year long weekly group container of women from very different yet very similar walks of life.
Showing up/being seen in groups has always been challenging for me where I felt my overall confidence to be seen and sharing the many parts of myself was really nurtured in this space.
I really didn’t know what to expect when signing up and I still find it hard to describe in words the experience. I didn’t have a set intention or expectation but I was drawn towards a deeper learning about myself and life within a container.
I would encourage you that if you are curious about joining The Return, follow that curiosity. There was so much wisdom within the group that I have found difficult to obtain elsewhere. It was a gift to be part of this group held so beautifully by Niamh that will stand to me for many many years to come.
“To be alive at this time means to be caught in the great unraveling that strands us near all the loose threads of creation; but it also means to be close to the revelation of the new design and the next paradigm.”
– Micheal Meade
The world is calling us to reimagine what’s possible.
I’d love you to join me and see what we can create together!
