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.”

Dee Mulrooney is a multi-disciplinary Irish artist. Inhabiting a female body and all that it entails is the main preoccupation of her work. Exile, class, displacement, social history, longing and belonging are some of the themes explored by Dee, through various media, including painting, drawing, film, storytelling, and performance. Her art is fiercely authentic, and she leaves no stone of her own personal healing journey unturned. Dee works with the alchemical aspect of transmutation in her art, using this process to deal with difficult topics, including, abuse, death and loss. Dee’s performance art is provocative and has a political point to make, highly social, collaborative and community building. She is driven by story and symbolism, how we remember and interpret history and women’s role and their bodies within that. She exhibits and performs regularly and had an award-winning show at Edinburgh Fringe 2023.

Rima Staines is an artist whose work straddles myth, magical realism and the folk arts. Her visual world is an umber and madder-infused chapel of misfits and magicians, story-rich and alchemical. Her paintings, which feel both ancient and familiar at once, have been exhibited and published internationally. In 2018 she was a finalist in the 'Best Artist' category of the World Fantasy awards.
Rima has a long-held fascination with the idea of the liminal - that which lies at the edge of culture and society as well as the literal boundaries between one place and another, both metaphorical and real - and with the power of art that comes from that place. Her work is a kind of “Iconography of the Otherworld”. She lives in the south of England.

Twenty years ago, Cali White left a corporate career and followed a calling to the healing path. Initially training in psychotherapy, she spent many years immersing herself in the world of psychological and spiritual development and was privileged to find teachers that opened her up to Native American wisdom through Vision Questing, Sweat Lodges, and Shamanic Healing, and then more deeply into rites of passage work through the Women in Power organisation.
From November 2018 she undertook a 13 Moon menopause Pilgrimage around the UK and Ireland to deepen into her indigenous ancestry. Guided by the Ancients, she gathered women every full moon to hold ceremony for those persecuted as witches during the Burning Times and to help heal the inherited trauma wounds of separation that we still carry today. This led to the 2022 I AM WITCH exhibition in Lancaster, out of which The Witches' Revival was born, a now annual healing event in Lancaster, UK, designed to support the healing of the feminine through the reclamation of the Witch Archetype.
Cali lives in an old Beatrix Potter cottage on a hillside in the Lake District where she continues to learn through tending the land and by following her menopausal impulse to "create"!
