Art & Soul - Anna Erika Springett

. .

Biographie:
Anna grew up in the rural West of Ireland, as Erika Brown, with her siblings, Irish father and Finnish mother. Nature, music and creativity were formative influences on her early years, as was her dual heritage and a-typical upbringing in a predominantly Irish and Catholic community. Anna's voice as a poet was shaped by a period of living away from family in Finland (aged eight), the keenly evangelical-spiritual environment of home, and the many and diverse people who crossed the threshold of the house she grew up in.Her interest in people and humanity grew from this place, and led Anna to study psychology at Queen's University, Belfast. This ultimately led to her chosen career as a leadership psychologist, professional coach and team development specialist, and more latterly, as a host of professional retreats. Writing and creativity has been a 'side gig' for Anna throughout this time, expressed in journalling, painting, gardening, crafts and interior decoration...
