ABOUT YOUR HOSTS:
Jackie Singer is a performer and shamanic practitioner with over 30 years’ experience of holding space for creativity and healing, particularly for women. She is the author of Birthrites, Rituals and Celebrations for the Child-bearing Years, and recently published her first booklet of poetry: Loom - Poems of Love and Loss. She originally trained as a drama and movement therapist, specialising in story enactment. Jackie first encountered the story of Inanna and Ereskigal when she was in her twenties. It has been a long courtship leading to this retreat day! (www.thehummingbirdlodge.com)
