Episode 2 :: Maryanne Moodie

“I never had a plan.”

Creative superstar Maryanne Moodie cultivates the sweetest flow to life — there is a rich wellspring of ease and trust you can actually feel when you hang out with her. And yet, she is utterly down to earth. When I ask her how she can live in NYC, with two little boys and never sound harried she laughs and says, “oh Elizabeth, I’m Australian.”

As if that explains everything. And, I guess it kinda does.

Her passion for weaving carries her from one experience to the next, sometimes from one hemisphere to the next as she travels around the country — and around the glove — to offer workshps and share her love of fiber.

I know that many people are most enchanted by Maryanne because of her gorgeous, lush weavings but for me I leave flowers on her altar because she has the BEST energy.

Seriously, talking with Maryanne, hanging with her– it just buoys my spirit. She is super zen. Her philosophy on life makes me happy.

It’s just that simple.

In this call, Maryanne shares reflections on her life: process, design and teaching all the while juggling two small boys and a husband in Brooklyn, NY. She sums it up this way,

“My vision is always happiness.”

Listen for yourself, you’ll see.
