Terry Tempest Williams on Writing the Ineffable
<p>Terry Tempest Williams is an American writer, environmentalist, and author of more than twenty books, including Refuge, When Women Were Birds, and Erosion. A Guggenheim fellow and the writer-in-residence at Harvard Divinity School since 2017, she has spent decades exploring the intersection of nature, spirituality, and the written word. </p><p>In this episode, Terry joins Salomé to discuss The Glorians, a book that arose from a dream she had one week into the 2020 global lockdown. They speak about the six-year journey of writing it; what it means to pay attention in a world built on distraction; how grace became a central question of her time at Harvard; and the remarkable, awe-inspiring story of the Divinity Tree that she wove so beautifully into the book. </p><p>It's an episode about presence as a spiritual practice and the leaps of faith that shape a writing life devoted to the ineffable.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-glorians-visitations-from-the-holy-ordinary-terry-tempest-williams/3fbcbd4e78753ac8?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=dsa_nonbrand&utm_content={adgroupname}&utm_term=aud-1885352274224:dsa-19959388920&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12440232635&gbraid=0AAAAACfld42F8JwbFmxBOXVLB-x9QA4JB&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCUDgM-w-6vLeePPEV2ynHgzjtSqvciMPZwFJg_kwhBIVc8nr70aIOxoCWNIQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Link to buy The Glorians</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4FeaA8I2QDsPYFgcFEspvK?si=a61e9e7a370f4f43&nd=1&dlsi=4cebb9cb933041b0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Willow Interview on Reflections </a></p><p><br></p>

Suchitra Mattai on the Healing and Liberating Power of Art
<p>Suchitra Mattai is a Guyanese-American artist of South Asian descent who creates spellbinding, monumental installations and textile sculptures to spotlight women's voices, while honoring her ancestors, who were once brought from India to Guyana as indentured laborers.</p><p>In this episode, she joins Salomé to talk about art as a practice of healing, reclamation, and liberation. She opens up about the role art-making played in her recovery from a years-long struggle with bipolar disorder, how centering heritage, memory, and mythology in her work has helped her process collective trauma, and how she's seen that healing ripple out into the communities her work touches. Among many themes, they explore her winding professional path from studying statistics to getting an MFA, and the sacred, intuitive way she makes art, letting the divine and materials themselves speak through her.</p><p><br></p><p>For previous conversations between Suchitra and Salomé, see:</p><p>https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/suchitra-mattai-artist-interview</p><p>https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-suchitra-mattais-soulful-works-convey-unspeakable-truths</p>

Cassandra Lanrick on Being Real and Being Seen
<p>Fashion stylist Cassandra Lanrick says she likes things "a little bit ugly." She resists the traditional rules of fashion—dressing for flattery, dressing for the male gaze, dressing for trends—and instead treats getting dressed as a practice of self-expression and delight.</p><p>In this episode, Cassandra joins Salomé to talk about what it takes to show up online consistently, how she overcame the fear of being seen, and why she refuses to participate in the culture of performing a curated, perfected self. They explore the radicalism of dressing for yourself, the expectations society places on women, and what it means to create simply because it brings you joy, without knowing where it's all going. Ultimately, this is a conversation about what happens when we allow ourselves to be real and be seen in a world that has never made either easy.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Cassandra: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cassandralanrick?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@cassandralanrick</a></p>
