The Deeper Well
Exploring Psyche, Self & Spirit
The Deeper Well is Wellspring’s immersive series for women, exploring what it means to live well from the inside out: emotionally, psychologically, physically, energetically, relationally, and spiritually.
Series Begins January 2027

Living well begins within.
Wellspring Co-Founders, Dr. Kelly Waggoner and Farnaz N. Reneker, bring together depth psychology, ancient wisdom traditions, and embodied practices to explore the many layers that shape women's experiences of themselves and the world.
Through teaching, reflection, direct experience, and meaningful conversation, participants deepen their understanding of the psyche, the wisdom of the body, unconscious patterns, relationships, intuition, and inner knowing.
At the heart of the series are three interconnected principles: Awareness, Capacity, and Inner Authority.
As our awareness expands, we begin to recognize more of what shapes us, including patterns and influences that were previously unconscious.
Developing capacity allows us to remain present with a greater range of emotional, relational, energetic, and spiritual experiences while staying grounded and connected to ourselves.
As we deepen this relationship with ourselves, we also refine our discernment: the ability to distinguish intuition from fear, conditioning from inner knowing, and external influences from what is genuinely true for us. This becomes the foundation for greater self-trust and inner authority.
Ultimately, this work is about embodiment: integrating what we discover into how we live, the choices we make, and the relationships we cultivate.
The series begins with a shorter introductory workshop, followed by six one-day immersives.
Each immersive stands on its own and can be experienced individually, while together they offer a deeper, progressive exploration of the whole self: mind, body, energy, and spirit.

The six areas of exploration are interconnected, with each offering a different perspective on our inner development.
Awareness helps us recognize what is present. Embodied Wisdom deepens our understanding through direct experience. Authenticity invites us to discover what is genuinely true for us. Capacity strengthens our ability to remain present with the fullness of life. Inner Authority develops discernment, self-trust, and conscious choice. Embodiment brings these dimensions together through the way we live.
Throughout the series, the three developmental threads of Awareness, Capacity, and Inner Authority provide a foundation for integrating psychological understanding, spiritual exploration, and embodied experience into everyday life.

Dr. Kelly Waggoner
Clinical Psychologist and Co-Founder of Wellspring, Dr. Kelly brings over two decades of experience in depth psychology, trauma-informed care, and integrative healing. Her work focuses on helping individuals understand the patterns that shape their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and developing the tools needed for lasting, embodied change.
Farnaz Reneker
Co-Founder of Wellspring and founder of The Temple Architect, Farnaz works through intuitive and experiential modalities that support deeper awareness of the body, breath, and internal states. She creates environments that allow individuals to access insight beyond the cognitive level and integrate it through direct experience.
Together, they offer a balanced approach – bridging psychological understanding with experiential awareness – so that insight becomes something you can recognize and apply in your daily life.

The space is designed to offer a pause from the pace of everyday life – allowing your system to slow down and your attention to return to what’s present.
Wellspring’s environment supports a sense of calm, focus, and ease, making it easier to engage with the work in a more open and grounded way. When the body is more settled, it becomes easier to notice patterns, emotions, and responses as they arise.
This is not a separate or removed experience. The space supports a way of working that can carry into how you move through your daily life.
The Six Areas of Exploration
Awareness & Consciousness
Exploring Our Inner World
Exploring the different layers of consciousness and how our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and unconscious patterns shape our experience of life. Through greater self-awareness, we begin to recognize what operates beneath the surface and develop the ability to observe ourselves with greater clarity.
Embodied Wisdom
Learning Through Direct Experience
Exploring the difference between intellectual knowledge and wisdom that develops through lived experience. We examine how the body, emotions, intuition, and direct perception contribute to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Authenticity
Discovering Who We Are
Exploring the difference between our authentic nature and the identities, roles, and adaptations we've developed throughout life. Through greater awareness of our values, desires, and unconscious patterns, we begin to recognize what feels genuinely aligned with who we are becoming.
Capacity
Expanding Our Ability to Experience Life
Exploring our internal capacity to experience and remain present with the full range of life, including emotion, uncertainty, connection, change, and growth. We examine how nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and energetic practices can help us develop greater stability and openness as our consciousness expands.
Inner Authority
Developing Discernment and Self-Trust
Exploring how we develop a more conscious relationship with our own inner guidance while recognizing the influence of external expectations, conditioning, and unconscious motivations. Through discernment and self-trust, we strengthen our ability to make choices that reflect our values, lived wisdom, and authentic understanding.
Embodiment
Living What We Know
Exploring how awareness, insight, and inner wisdom become integrated into the choices, relationships, and actions of everyday life. Embodiment is the ongoing practice of bringing what we understand into how we live, allowing our inner development to find expression in the world.

It is held within a sacred circle of women who are also on the path of becoming.”

Dr. Kelly and Farnaz’s diversity of wisdom and knowledge is deeply impactful.

This group helped me fall in love with sisterhood again. It allowed my true self to be seen more, and helped me feel safe being seen.
It was life changing.”
“This program is a guidebook to an embodied life.

“A truly life-changing journey with a heart-warming and supportive space to explore our inner worlds and beautiful blend of psychology, mindfulness, and mystical insights.
The women in our group are authentic and caring, and it has been amazing to connect and grow together.”
