To Mentor with the Wild; with Sophie Strand

, , ,

It’s been a long time coming, but I am so excited to share this interview with Sophie Strand.

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories.

Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is forthcoming in 2022 from Inner Traditions. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions.  

She is currently researching her next epic, a mythopoetic exploration of ecology and queerness in the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Storytelling

  • What it is to root our spirituality

  • Activism

  • What it is to be in awe

and so much more

So this year the news has been overtaken by stories of teachers and parents who want to be real with the kids. One would think other headlines were more important, but some ‘getting real and honest’ is only for the young. ones! Anywho,
