Creative Magic
Join prolific author and artist Lucy H. Pearce and her creative guests - writers, artists, creatrixes - for profound and practical conversations about what creative magic means to us. We'll reflect on what, how and why we create, what drives us...and what stops us in our tracks. We share honestly how we find the time and energy to make magic in the midst of life's challenges and why we keep on saying yes to our creativity.
Lucy is known for giving real and raw interviews, and now she shares this form of deep dive conversation with many of her favourite creative people.
The first season of Creative Magic is the Wild Initiations series, featuring her immensely popular intimate conversation series recorded to celebrate the launch of her 12th book Crow Moon: reclaiming the wisdom of the dark woods... She will also be joined by some new guests diving into the themes of wild nature, symbols, initiation and creative magic.
