Author: Sharon Blackie

Dr Sharon Blackie is an award-winning writer and internationally recognised teacher whose work sits at the interface of psychology, mythology and ecology. Her unique approach to working with myth, fairy tales and folklore highlights the insights these traditions can offer us into authentic and meaningful ways of being which are founded on a deep sense of belonging to place, a rootedness in the land we inhabit. Her first non-fiction book, If Women Rose Rooted, became a word-of-mouth ecofeminist bestseller across the UK and North America. Her second, The Enchanted Life, offers insights into the art of belonging, and the everyday magic that comes from deepening our connection to the natural world. Foxfire, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shapeshifting Women is her first collection of short stories. Her work has been translated into multiple languages. Sharon lives on a smallholding in the Cambrian mountains of Mid Wales with her husband and dogs. www.sharonblackie.net
