Jacqueline Wild aka Glitter and Earth, creates whimsical illustrations inspired by the Cornish landscape and coastline. She lives in a 120 year old granite miners cottage close to Land’s End where tales of mermaids, witches and pirates fuel her imagination.Born in Greenwich, London, her holidays to Cornwall created memories of dancing along the shoreline and swimming in rockpools, which acted as a constant reminder to return.After gaining a degree in English at Worcester, Jacqueline and her husband- to-be packed all their belongings into a VW camper and made their way to Newquay to live a more holistic lifestyle and learn to surf.Jacqueline pursued a career as a freelance writer for many years but it wasn’t until the birth of her daughter that she really embraced her calling as an illustrator.

34: Caroline Carey – She Did it Her Way
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 Hosted on Acast.
