Introducing your guide
Nele Vandersmissen
Founder of Wondr and Training Facilitator
I’m the founder of Wondr, where I’m reimagining how we build meaningful community beyond our homes and navigate collective uncertainty. Circle practice is at the heart of this mission—it has transformed my life so profoundly that sharing it with others has become my calling.
Over the past decade, I’ve had the honor of facilitating more than 1,500 Circles worldwide, both in-person and online. My journey has taken me from boardrooms to deserts, from forests to corporate offices, and across countries like China, Dubai, Singapore, Europe, the US, and Australia. I’ve spent four years with Snapchat, establishing their Council (Circle) practice, and I’ve designed gatherings for groups ranging from 3 to 250 participants.
What sets me apart is the diversity of spaces I’ve worked in—bringing the transformative power of Circle to boardrooms, global retreats, and everything in between.
Circle facilitation is the one thing I’ve spent over 10,000 hours of my life mastering.
In the past three years, I’ve trained over 500 people in Circle Practices and Rites of Passage frameworks. It’s a joy to watch them carry this work into their own communities, creating ripples of connection and positive change.
As a facilitator, my style is grounded and authentic, sprinkled with humour and a deep respect for the unique genius each Circle participant brings. I love sharing this practice with the world.
