Justine Aldersey-Williams is a textile activist, speaker and teacher specialising in natural fabric dyeing and regenerative clothing. She hand-dyes textiles at her studio, The Wild Dyery, in Hoylake UK, using many plants grown on her nearby food, fibre and dye allotment and teaches both live and online courses in botanical dyeing techniques.

Justine qualified as a teacher in 1998 and has since taught extensively to schools, colleges, universities and crafts groups. A yoga teacher since 2006, Justine’s textile work intersects creativity, spirituality and environmentalism. She devises creative rituals that reconnect people with nature and sees botanical dyeing as a gateway craft that can inspire people to feel more reverence for their ecosystems.

She founded the Northern England Fibreshed, part of the international Fibershed not-for-profit organisation in March 2020 and volunteers to help establish regenerative textile systems using 'local fibres, local dyes and local labour' throughout the region.

Clare Jasmine Beloved is an artist based in Liverpool, UK. She says:

“Creating is in my blood and has saved my life over and over – transforming feelings, emotions, life stories, wounds and blocks, dreams and ideas into beauty. My art is awash with large lush goddesses, magic mermaids, sensual sistas, and sacred imagery, symbolism and feelings.The process and the way that I paint and create is very intuitive. I work with many layers to explore my own mythology, using acrylics and mixed media.

My work is also translated into limited edition textile ranges in silks and velvet as well as a beautiful jewellery range.

I am passionate about words – my bed is always laden with books! My first poetry collection Love, Hope and High Heels was published in 2010. It was shortlisted for The Polari Book Prize for new gay and lesbian writing. I have since published poetry and art books and journals and am currently finishing a book about my love story with my late wife and navigating life after her death. Pre-order Somewhere Between Derelict and Divine: Magical Stories to Carry Us All Home…

I developed and curated a large-scale project based on my own way of creating with over 1000 women and girls, which was exhibited at The Tate in a ground-breaking exhibition. This was then taken into many settings and also developed into Big Love Sista, Big Love My Brother.

I am dedicated to creating a body of work in the world and spaces that are ethical, inclusive, diverse, real and down to earth and magical and deeply rooted in community.”

Nicole Barton is a witch on a mission to help Secret Witches - aka secretly magical healers who hide their magic - to live their true destiny by expressing their magic. She does this by helping women to heal themselves, discover their soul map of gifts and heal the fear of expressing their unique remedy.

Through her Archetypal Apothecary™ path (which is a unique combination of the three ancient wisdom bodies of homeopathy, archetypal psychology and energy healing, and provides a clear map to your soul) - and with over a decade’s experience of being a healer of sensitive souls and healers - Nicole guides women to understand their soul’s plan and harness it to heal themselves so they can become the unapologetically magical healer witches their souls were born to be.
