  • 34. 34: Caroline Carey – She Did it Her Way

    53:48||Season 3, Ep. 34
    Caroline grew up in Birmingham and then the rural landscapes of Worcestershire, with a love for the wild, poetry and dance, passionate about creativity, mystery and myth. She moved to Ireland in 1992 for 17 years. Say Caroline: “Despite early challenges with trauma, self-doubt and unconventional learning styles, I discovered the power of creativity and a deep connection to the soul through dance, poetry and storytelling. This journey led me to understand the impact of trauma and the importance of finding new perspectives on my past experiences, which were laden with difficulties to overcome.From very early on I developed a conscious connection to the world of soul and my ability to see, to sense and to connect with my own soul-guidance. Mothering my six, now adult children gave me the art of play, creativity, story-telling and opened up the deep surrender and unconditional love that motherhood can bestow. Being a grandmother, has deepened and matured my skills to a sensitive wisdom with lots of humour.”A published writer of seven books, a speaker and Soul Retrieval guide facilitating workshops and gatherings, Caroline has created The Wheel Of Soul’s Return and The Polarity of Purpose as models for finding the meaning and contribution to each person’s story.LINKSwww.middleearthmedicine.comhttps://www.facebook.com/caroline.carey/https://www.instagram.com/carolinecarey__/https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinecarey/We talked about:5 Rhythms dance and her training with Gabrielle RothHer Middle Earth MedicineTrusting the body and resisitenceHow our birth, death and rites of passage impact our creativityThe Thespian’s dilemmaLeaving home too soonWhat she learned from shamanismInspiration and spiritualityHer writing lifeCreative entrepreneurshipIn the extended episode – just $3/ month www.patreon.com/lucyhpearcePersonal stories about her experiences with Gabrielle RothHow her Middle Earth Medicine got its nameExtended video episode for $6/month www.patreon.com/lucyhpearceResources:Marketing for HippiesElixchel (Elisheva healing art movement https://www.facebook.com/groups/410174569389357https://www.instagram.com/elisheva.lily/#Msguided AngelUnearthing Your StoryMy interview on her podcast: Soul Purpose with Caroline Carey

  • 32: Jaine Rose - Starlight Vision

    57:57|
    Jaine Rose lives in the Cotswold town of Stroud, happily making art in her plant-filled and colourful studio in the corner her attic house. She’s had a pretty wild journey through art, parenthood, and the alchemy of women's circles and rituals. He work is an ongoing enquiry into women's spirituality which I see as the dynamic and ever-changing way that we reclaim our innate connection to a vast realm of magic. She works unapologetically with bold and vibrant colour, combining portraits, with flowers, magical creatures, trees and hills and other wonderful, often abstract details. Says Jaine, “I could talk endlessly about witchcraft, and our beautiful land that is worth fighting for. Or my insane love of cats, all animals, starry skies, lying in woodlands staring up at the trees, of all the things that fill me with wonder. Also all the things that have the power to move me, or even break my heart. So many stories, we all carry them. And so I ponder this as I travel relentlessly and obsessively between the oceans of the West, and the oceans of the East, magical places where witches be. My heart places.” www.jainerose.com  Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaineroseart - for her artwork                  www.instagram.com/jainerose123 - pieces of lifeWe talked aboutHer concept of the Competent ArtistHow she creates artHer move from pottery to visual art, and the place of writing in her workColour and what it means to herMoving through grief with creativityHer creation of her Witch’s rosaryHer experience of “the lights”How magic changes as we get olderIn the extended edition - access for just $3+ on www.patreon.com/lucyhpearce we talked about:Trauma and storytellingArt and activismThe Red Hearth – a powerful women’s circle she is part ofResources:Earth Pathways Diary Lucy Rie Hans Coper Barbara Hepworth Francis Weller Emerson College (UK) Bayo Akomolafe Anita Roddick Kesty Jakes and Sladebank Woods Starhawk

An innovative writer and practicing occultist, Colquhoun charted her own course, investigating surrealist methods of unconscious picture-making and fearlessly delving into the realms of myth and magic.
