Description
Ever since Sylvia was a little girl, she’s always read and written stories and was very drawn to old myths and ancient cultures, almost wanting to embody them through her writing as her way into them. For the longest time, she considered her writing fantasy, separated from her sense of embodied participation with the Earth and with life along with a fear to connect these two worlds. However, her writing became her intuitive channel as it opened her process and molded her 20s slowly as she studied animal tracking, wanting to reflect the land around her from a more than human perspective. Animal tracking taught her this language to listen deeply into the land that she was in. As she continued her studies, things started to weave in intuitively as it does with creative work to a place that she couldn’t really articulate or speak to. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately), a painful experience called her to the island of Crete, opening her consciousness of her own relationship to her intuition, connecting something, and initiating her process of remembering. Sylvia Linsteadt is a writer, artist, and certified animal tracker. She has authored books such as “Our Lady of the Dark Country”, the award-nominated middle grade fantasy duology “The Wild Folk” and “The Wild Folk Rising”, the novel “Tatterdemalion”, and an award-winning collection of essays entitled “Lost Worlds of the San Francisco Bay Area”.
