Today we are chatting with Jo Roets.
Jo Roets (b.1979) is a passionate sculptor and mould maker residing in Cape Town. She introduced the medium of self-drying stone clay into the fine art landscape in 2018. Embracing unique techniques and combining it with this medium allows her to push the boundaries of conventional ceramics. Her work has recently been published in Clay Formes - Contemporary Clay from South Africa.
In 2018, Jo's work was selected for three prominent art competitions: Sasol New Signatures, Pretoria Art Museum (finalist); Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award Barrel Head Exhibition, Hermanus (finalist) and Vuleka, Art.B Gallery, Bellville (finalist). She was announced as the winner of the inaugural StateoftheART Gallery Award in 2018. In 2021, Jo was announced as one of the Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award winners and an awardee of the coveted international Sustainable Arts Foundation Grant. Roet’s first solo was exhibited in 2019 at StateoftheART Gallery and second solo at Rust-en-Vrede Gallery in 2022. She was included in the Art.co.za Top 10 artists watchlist for 2024.
Jo Roets has exhibited with numerous South African galleries and abroad with Galería Begbie & Coll and Galería F&deO, Spain. Apart from gallery exhibitions, her work has been exhibited at festivals around South Africa, including KKNK, Tulbagh Arts Festival, Hermanus FynArts Festival and US Woordfees.

I am Caroline Jones, a transformative healer and I combine my skills of energy healing, Reiki, Shamanism, Crystal Healing, Akashic Record retrieval, Channelling and balancing subtle anatomy together with mindset coaching, to provide people with the support, that allows them to work through their own experiences with ease and understanding.
I help teach people what they need to know to enable them to take an active part in their healing process. I help you understand your patterns, so they can be dismantled and released, without focussing on the past.
I feel that teaching you these tools, goes a long way towards you taking charge of yourself with integrity and honesty, which in turn empowers you to be more present in your own life. My other website, The Institute Of Enlightened Awareness, is a beautiful and nurturing space for those wanting to learn about subtle anatomy, energy healing, reiki, chakras and a lot more...

Find out more about Ana:
I have always been curious about what it means to lead a good life and know that mindfulness is vital to staying grounded and authentic to one's heart.
Unfortunately, I found it very hard to be consistent. The busier I got and the more I needed it, the less mindful I became.
Whilst I love going to a retreat and immersing myself in inner work, I needed something that would help my day-to-day and allow me to reflect on what is important without retreating from the world. And so, Your Mindful Year was born out of my selfish need.
