Caregiving + creativity with Kerri ní Dochartaigh

Exploring how our life experiences + transitions can shape our creative paths
3

In the first of a special four-part series of bonus episodes about curiosity, creativity and connection, I'm joined by writer

to explore caregiving and creativity, and how our life experiences and transitions can shape our creative paths.

We also delve into topics such as caregiving, community and connection, and explore:

  • The role of nature and cycles in grounding and inspiring creativity.

  • How transitions and challenges shape creative output and open new paths.

  • Redefining what it means to create by focusing on connection and community.

  • The concept of "mothering" as a universal and collective act.

  • Creating accessible and nurturing spaces for creativity.

Highlights include:

  • Kerri’s reflections on a significant life moment that shifted her creative path.

  • Insights into building community and fostering connection through shared caregiving.

  • Kerri’s current offerings, including Moss Mother Moon gatherings and Winter Light on Moss workshops.

Upcoming Events + Offerings:

  • Moss Mother Moon: Join Kerri for an online full moon gathering on Friday, 15th November, from 7–8pm.

  • Winter Light on Moss: A workshop for those who still love the world, happening Thursday, 28th November, from 12–2pm.
