| Polly
is a professional Shamanic Artist, teacher of Sacred Art and a professional
Healer.
Polly has lived a life working with opposites.
After training at the Farnham School of Art in Hampshire she worked
as a Shepherdess in the highlands of Scotland. Later she touched
apon 'the highlife,' working as a Session Stylist for international
magazines.
On completing that Polly travelled the world spending a year living
in India, which opened the door to the world of spirit to her.
Since then, Polly has gained ten years shamanic experience including
training with The Foundation for Shamanic Studies and The Sacred
Trust. She has currently joined with a six year Creative Blacksmithing
apprenticship, and aims to open a forge for her community.
Her path is greatly inspired by a well-trodden European tradition
and methodology known as the Path of Pollen. Along with her love
of working with creativity, she is a dancer and a beekeeper which
she believes keeps her vital and connected to the authentic nature
of woman. She continues to deepen her practice with teachers from
throughout Europe. Within the world of art she is able to open up
a space with a deep sense of trust, that brings invitation to the
artistically shy. As healer for women her practice has brought her
to the threshold of self, where the 'ordinary' and 'extra-ordinary'
overlap. The weaving of this has unveiled a healing technique that
should not be visited as a traditional shamanic healing practice,
but rather specific of her spiritual heritage and gifts.
This work deals with the nuances of 'vulnerability & knowings'
that lay inbetween ordinary actions. Polly aims to work with integrity
and be wholesome and holding for the individual
and her community.
