In the first episode of a special four-part bonus series, I’m joined by writer Kerri ní Dochartaigh to explore how our life experiences shape our creativity. Together, we delve into topics such as caregiving, community and connection.
Kerri shares personal stories about her own creative path, including insights gained through motherhood, her relationship with nature and moments of transformation. We also touch on the importance of finding pockets of creativity within busy seasons.
Key topics include:
- Nature, its cycles, and how they ground us
- How transitions and challenges can shape us creatively
- What it truly means to create and connect within community
- The concept of “mothering” as a universal and collective act
- Creating accessible and nurturing spaces for curiosity
Episode highlights:
- How a moment of transition served as a turning point on Kerri’ creative path

- Kerri’s workshops and offerings, including her Moss Mother Moon sessions
Upcoming events + offerings:
