Sharon Blackie is an award-winning writer and internationally recognized teacher whose work sits at the intersection of psychology, mythology, and ecology. A mythologist specializing in Celtic studies, Sharon focuses on the development of the mythic imagination, and on the relevance of myths, fairy tales, and folk traditions to the personal, social, and environmental problems we face today.
From her best-selling book, If Women Rose Rooted, an inspiring exploration of femininity and relationship with landscape, to her latest, Hagitude, which unearths the stories of elder women in European myth and folklore to highlight the different ways women can flourish throughout all stages of life, her renowned writings invite us to explore how developing a relationship with myth and the land we live on can both enchant our lives and lead to a greater sense of meaning and belonging in the world.
Join Sharon and CIIS Integral Counseling Psychology Associate Professor Rachael Vaughan for a transformative conversation on the importance of myth and land in our lives. To live in deep relationship with both land and myth is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary.
