Bio

Dajana (she/her) is an artist, mother and both teacher & student of the wild, living and working from deeply animistic experience of the world – to her this is true anarchy! In exploring prehistoric Europe & reclaiming the cyclical & dark of (our) nature she finds meaning and wisdom. Through visual and magical arts & rewilding, she's weaving biocentrism, ecofeminism, earth skills, folklore & shadow work into her daily life. As a refugee of war, the Kinship with the other-than-human world, since her childhood deepened her sense of place, belonging and the radical meaning of home. By organising local prehistoric skill share gatherings in Groningen and Drenthe focussing on wild plant foraging, thread making and textiles, pottery & wildlife - with others she creates and holds space for this re-membering.
