Author bio
Dr. Sharon Blackie is an award-winning and internationally bestselling author, speaker and teacher. She’s a former neuroscientist and a psychologist with a background in mythology and folklore, and the transformative power of story has been at the heart of her work for decades. She is a recognised pioneer in reclaiming women’s stories, especially from old British and European traditions. Her 2016 word-of-mouth bestseller If Women Rose Rooted offered groundbreaking ideas at the intersection of British and Celtic myth, women’s spirituality and ecology. With her books Hagitude and Wise Women, she has led the way in reimagining the stories of midlife, menopause and the second half of life.
As well as writing seven books of fiction and nonfiction, her writing has appeared in international media outlets and she has featured in programs by the BBC, US public radio and independent filmmakers. Sharon is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, an Honorary Member of the UK Association of Jungian Analysts, and has taught and lectured at many academic institutions, retreat centres and cultural festivals around the world. Her much-loved publication and community, and former Top Ten Global Literature Substack, The Art of Enchantment, has recently been relaunched as an independent platform at https://theartofenchantment.org, and reaches over 60,000 people around the world.
Sharon lives in Cumbria, in the far north of England, with her husband, dogs, hens and sheep.
