Stephanie Thomas Berry an accomplished artist, poet and practicing Druid from Western North Carolina. Stephanie documents the mysterious wonder-filled and other-worldly aspects of life through her captivating artwork and prose. She has three guiding principles for her work, creativity is a spiritual path, It’s a path of growth and healing (which is scientifically proven, by the way). But it’s also a path where we can experience the mysteries that inhabit our inner world. Creativity is relationship. She says, "My creative work is fed primarily by two relationships: my relationship with the natural world (and perhaps more specifically, the landscape where I make my home) my relationship with the dream world, that vast inner landscape we all roam about." And thirdly Creativity is Community. At its heart, creative work longs to be shared. We are social animals to the core, and creative work gives us the opportunity to share our unique inner worlds with our community. There’s a deep joy that comes from that feeling of being seen so deeply, and contributing to the communal inner life
