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. Working on her iPad while her daughter slept enabled her to hone her skills and start to pave the way to a full time career as an artist.

Ep. 37 Coco Oya Cienna-Rey - Heeding the Call

My guest today is Coco Oya Cienna-Rey, author of Digging for Mother’s Bones launching this week from Womancraft Publishing. Coco is a UK based mother, grandmother, creative, mystic, soul guide and writer. Her creativity is informed by her journey as a devotee of the Tantric path (an embodied path of self-liberation) and her personal journey with trauma. She has always felt a call to channel the Voice of the Divine Feminine and is published in several bestselling anthologies. Often thought provoking, yet always heartfelt her work speaks of the sacred wisdom stored in the body, the non-linear nature of trauma and the embodiment of soul. She believes that our innate connection to the natural world can heal humanity. Her podcast ‘Sirens of The Mother’ is receiving growing recognition. As a deeply sensitive, highly empathic gifted intuitive Coco can be found weaving her soul-coaching embodiment work at www.creativelycoco.com

Kat Shaw is a visual artist based in the UK who is known for her vibrant celebratory paintings of real, juicy naked female bodies.

Over the last 7 years, Kat has painted over 3000 glorious women into Goddesses, held many successful exhibitions and live shows, run enriching workshops and paints not only onto canvases, but also directly onto women’s bodies!

As an activist artist, Kat prides herself on dismantling the patriarchy, breaking society’s stereotypical views of beauty and challenging every negative paradigm that women have been drip fed since birth, instead, encouraging them to step into unapologetic empowerment.

Having made her name painting the glorious nude reality that is a woman’s body, self-worth, self-love and self-belief are at the centre of her art, rather than airbrushing, filtering, photoshopping and the “only one size fits all” approach to beauty.

Glorifying every single body shape, Kat challenges the images of perfection of the female form that are so rife in today’s culture.

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.

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.”
