Wendy Moore (Zendy Wendy)

From Bucket List to Breakthrough & The Genius of Gathering.

When Wendy Moore finally stepped onto the island of Bali, she wasn’t just arriving at a destination—she was answering a decade-long call from her soul. For years, Bali had lingered on her bucket list like an unopened gift. Between raising seven children and running a thriving business as a retreat mentor and coach, there was never time to unwrap it. But when one of her clients said, “I want to host my first international retreat in Bali,” Wendy felt a familiar nudge—the kind she teaches her clients to listen to—and she said yes.

That single “yes” would change everything.

As an international retreats coach and founder of The Elevated Female Entrepreneur, Wendy has spent over twenty years guiding visionary women to design and host profitable elite retreats—the kind that awaken, inspire, and create real transformation. But this time, she wasn’t leading. She was surrendering.

One morning, dressed in a beautiful, violet satin gown, Wendy stepped onto the famous Bali swing, the jungle stretching wide and wild beneath her. As she soared above the emerald rice fields, she let go—of the noise, the guilt, and the illusion of perfect timing. In that suspended moment between earth and sky, she found her breakthrough: true transformation happens when we stop trying to control the experience and start living it.

“Prioritize intention over itinerary,” she says with a smile. “Less is more. Leave room inside your gathering for connection and flow.”

That moment became a metaphor for her life and work—a reminder that the real magic of any retreat or gathering lies not in the schedule but in the sacred spaces between. The stillness. The surrender. The soul-level connection.

The Genius of Gathering

This month, Wendy will bring that wisdom to life at the Women Who Travel event in Puerto Vallarta. On October 26 at Langostinos, she’ll take the stage to deliver an inspiring talk titled The Genius of Gathering—an invitation to create retreats and experiences that move hearts and transform lives.

“The true genius of gathering isn’t found in a packed schedule,” Wendy says. “It’s in the intentional flow and connections that spark transformation and lasting impact.”

Her message is clear: whether you’re leading a retreat, building a business, or simply gathering friends, what truly matters is presence, purpose, and space for the extraordinary to unfold.
