A tale of adventure, pushing limits, humanity, and the transformative power of challenging expeditions to help us grow wiser, more compassionate, and purposeful with our lives.

Wild Wisdom recounts the story of social entrepreneur and philanthropist Christine Amour-Levar and the all-female expeditions she has led across the globe via her two non-profit organisations, Women on a Mission and HER Planet Earth. Over a decade, she has taken hundreds of women, of all nationalities, ages, and backgrounds, to off-the-beaten-track locations around the world on challenging, often pioneering, expeditions that really push them outside of their comfort zone.

She has run expeditions to some incredible places, from regions of the Arctic Circle to the coldest, windiest, and most remote continent on earth, Antarctica. Her teams have crossed the largest caves in the world in Vietnam, sailed across remote islands in Asia, and were the first all-female team to bike across the frozen Arctic Circle Trail of Greenland and the Danakil Depression of Ethiopiaβ€”the hottest place on Earth. And all these expeditions have had as their mission to raise awareness and funds for vulnerable women, transforming the lives of thousands of women and girls in the process.

By sharing her personal story and highlighting her life lessons, from growing up on multiple continents to leading teams on expeditions, she sets the stage for a new approach to caring for the human condition and the planet, at a deeper, more intrinsic, heart level. Ultimately, this is a story about roots and values, sisterhood and adventure, pushing limits, and the power of our common humanity and compassion to drive change and impact the world for the better.
