Author and Artist Mathilde Ramadier

Back in July, I attended a talk at Stillpoint Spaces in Berlin by author, artist and psychology PhD student, Mathilde Ramadier. Her talk was titled, Ecopsychology: Caring for the Link that Binds Us to Nature.

This season I’m talking to artists and thinkers about the art of listening. I spoke to Mathilde about how listening is an integral part of her practice as a writer and about how taking the time to observe and to be can feel like an act of rebellion. Yet it is this time that is necessary to allow new ideas to come into our unconscious.

Mathilde spoke about harnessing anger for creativity, about the impact of the resignation of the French Environmental Minister, Nicolas Hulot, and about the philosophy of permaculture, among other topics.
