36. The Earth is Calling with Linda Pappa
Linda Pappa (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary creative who is pulled by a desire to explore the primordial energy residing in all living things. She is deeply inspired by the Element of Earth - which has been her Mother, and main guide and teacher, leading her to work with many different mediums of expression on a devoted artistic research journey where she seeks to unearth ancestral wisdom, using the sensorial materials the Earth provides. This has led her to create things like divinatory art, using natural pigments, and ritual vessels, made with clay she has foraged in the mountains around her. Everything she learns and embodies on this journey, she feels called to share with others. She has written publications and resources on Elemental connection and enjoys guiding others into the healing process of co-creation with Earth, to share the fundamental understanding that our inner and outer worlds are one.
