Welcome to Making Conversation, a podcast where we celebrate making in all its forms; from amazing stories of inspiring makers and people, to behind the scene peeks of building BRIGHT Collective, our monthly crafty membership for all things art & craft and the Making app, the first social marketplace for makers. We believe that the simple act of making can transform your life and in turn change our world. This is why Making exists.
I’m your host Ashley Yousling and today’s episode is like a big hug for your soul. I’m talking with Raven Rose, an amazing person I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the past couple of years as both a maker and practitioner. Raven is a product designer, accomplished herbalist specializing in womb care, painter, and so much more. She is also one of the instructors at our upcoming Ritual retreat and I can’t wait for you to hear more of her story.
So pour yourself a cup of tea and have a listen. You can find Raven at moonmedicine.co/
