'There can be a perverse pleasure, as well as a sense of rightness and beauty, in insisting on flowering just when the world expects you to become quiet and diminish.' Sharon Blackie
What is Hagitude? It means being at ease with the unique power women embody in the second half of their life. It means having a strong sense of who we are and what we have to offer the world. And a firm belief in our place in the ever-shifting web of life.
For the woman who wishes to flourish without chasing eternal youth comes Hagitude. Interweaving myth, psychology, landscape and ecofeminism, acclaimed author Sharon Blackie reclaims the mid years as an alchemical moment – from which to shift into your chosen, authentic and fulfilling future – and the elder years as a path to dynamic influence.
'A fascinating book … well researched, packed with stories and bursting with lovely descriptions of the natural world. There's plenty in it to inspire women of every age.' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
About the author
Dr Sharon Blackie is an award-winning writer and internationally recognised teacher whose work sits at the interface of psychology, mythology and ecology. Her highly acclaimed books, courses, lectures and workshops are focused on the development of the mythic imagination, and on the relevance of myth, fairy tales and folk traditions to the personal, social and environmental problems we face today. Her first non-fiction book, If Women Rose Rooted, became a word-of-mouth ecofeminist bestseller across the UK and North America, and her books have been translated into multiple languages. Her writing has been published in several newspapers and magazines around the world, and she has appeared on broadcast media such as the BBC and US public radio speaking about her areas of expertise. Sharon lives on a small farm in the Cambrian mountains of Mid Wales with her husband and a miscellany of animals.
