Introducing Elara
We’re so excited to officially introduce Elara Community & Events LTD, a values-led space for women and marginalised genders to come together, connect, collaborate, and take inspired action.
If you’ve been to one of our monthly events or followed the journey of Together We Rise Up, you already know this community is something special and now, we’re growing into something even more powerful: a formal company with a bold mission to uplift, inspire, and create lasting impact.
So, what is Elara?
Elara Community & Events LTD is more than just a networking group. We’re a membership community and events company built for those who want real connection, deeper learning, and to be surrounded by others who are just as passionate about making a difference.
Through in-person events, group coaching, and our supportive online community, we’re creating a space where women and marginalised genders can feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow both personally and professionally.
Our Core Principles
Everything we do at Elara is rooted in the values that brought this community to life:
🤝 Collaboration Over Competition
We believe we rise higher when we lift others with us. Elara is a space where support and collaboration replace comparison and competition. Whether you’re at the start of your journey or years in, your voice and experience matter here.
🌱 Empowered Learning
We are lifelong learners. Through workshops, group coaching, and events, we make learning accessible, inspiring, and grounded in real life. You’ll leave every interaction with practical insights, fresh ideas, and the motivation to take action.
🌍 Community First
Elara is built on human connection. We’re not here for surface-level networking — we create spaces that are welcoming, inclusive, and deeply rooted in care and authenticity.
💬 Real Conversations
Our events and discussions are full of honesty, vulnerability, and real-life experiences. We believe in creating safe spaces to grow, learn, share, and be heard without judgment or pressure.
Why Elara?
The name Elara symbolises a place of growth, orbit, and support a central point where people come together to share wisdom, celebrate wins, and navigate challenges together.
Co-founded by Lauren McWilliams and Christina Lord, Elara grew from a shared passion for community and the belief that there’s a better way to support one another in life and business. Together, they’ve created a membership and events space that’s heart-led, purpose-driven, and grounded in action.
