34: Caroline Carey – She Did it Her Way

Creative Magic

Show Notes

Caroline grew up in Birmingham and then the rural landscapes of Worcestershire, with a love for the wild, poetry and dance, passionate about creativity, mystery and myth. She moved to Ireland in 1992 for 17 years. Say Caroline: “Despite early challenges with trauma, self-doubt and unconventional learning styles, I discovered the power of creativity and a deep connection to the soul through dance, poetry and storytelling. This journey led me to understand the impact of trauma and the importance of finding new perspectives on my past experiences, which were laden with difficulties to overcome. From very early on I developed a conscious connection to the world of soul and my ability to see, to sense and to connect with my own soul-guidance. Mothering my six, now adult children gave me the art of play, creativity, story-telling and opened up the deep surrender and unconditional love that motherhood can bestow. Being a grandmother, has deepened and matured my skills to a sensitive wisdom with lots of humour.” A published writer of seven books, a speaker and Soul Retrieval guide facilitating workshops and gatherings, Caroline has created The Wheel Of Soul’s Return and The Polarity of Purpose as models for finding the meaning and contribution to each person’s story.
