Ep 077: How to connect with the land, your innate creativity & your spiritual self, with theatre-studies-grad turned crofter Stefanie Rothgeldard

<p>Stefanie is a fascinating, formidable woman who has so much wisdom to share on feeding your creative soul, while also feeding many other mouths that depend on her - not only the many Croft animals, but also her 3 kids, one of which is a 4.5 month old lockdown baby!</p> <p>If anyone has the excuse of 'no time for creativity' it's Stefanie. But she weaves creativity, and connection to the land, into her busy day to day life in ingenious ways. Why? Because she deeply understands the need, value and catharsis of doing so.</p> <p>She lives an alternative life, immersed in nature and largely away from screens (though you can find her poetic posts on Instagram).</p> <p>Many of us have realised the benefits of nature in the pandemic and Stefanie offers a no-wifi space where we can visit and explore this connection more deeply, with her encouragement. And that's what you get a taste of in this podcast. </p> <p>This is a special on-location, outside broadcast recorded while I was on holiday, staying in a wood cabin on Stefanie's Airbnb on her Highland Croft. You will feel like you are on the Croft with us, among the sheep, cows, chicks, pigs and pug!</p> <p>For more about Stefanie:</p> <p>On Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/highland_croft">@highland_croft</a></p> <p>On Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/highlandcroft01">@highlandcroft01</a></p> <p>To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bigjuicycreativeliving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>Facebook <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bigjuicycreativeliving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzybashfordbigjuicycreative/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@suzybashford</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/suzybashford">@suzybashford</a> </p> <p>contact Suzy: <a href="mailto:suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopen
