About Joanna Powell Colbert

Welcome, and thanks for finding me here!

My life is centered around . . .

• Nature (aka “Mama Gaia”) and the seasonal round
• Nature spirituality, earth-based spiritual practice
• Living consciously, creatively and mindfully
• The practice of gratitude
• Tarot as a tool for personal insight and spiritual growth
• Community & family
• Creating artwork in many mediums and appreciating others’ work
• Goddess spirituality
• Mermaid mythology
• Living green (eco-consciousness)
• Soul work as right livelihood ~ being a heart-based entrepreneur

I’m an artist and author whose Tarot cards and book, The Gaian Tarot, was published by Llewellyn Worldwide in September 2011. I released a deluxe, Limited Edition of 1000 decks in March 2010. Within a year, nearly 70% of those had already found happy homes.

I host the engaging membership site, Gaian Tarot Circle, which I created for people who want to participate in a study circle centered on the Gaian Tarot.

I teach e-courses and workshops around the country on earth-centered spirituality, manifesting your dreams, soulful practices for the wheel of the year, creativity as a devotional path, and tarot as a tool for inner guidance and self-exploration.

My artwork and writing have appeared frequently over the years in SageWoman, PanGaia and Circle magazines, among many others.

I sell my colored-pencil paintings and mixed media pieces as originals and limited edition prints. Amber Lotus Publishing Co. calls me one of “the most accomplished and well-loved artists in the Goddess-spirit community.”

I am dedicated to the Ocean Mother in all Her guises, and am a lover of Mama Gaia.

I’m a Capricorn Sun, Taurus Moon and Taurus Rising.

I live in the woods outside Bellingham, Washington with my husband, musician Craig Olson, and two cats. Our house is called Rainbow Cottage, which we named for the rainbows that fill the living room on late afternoons when the sun shines through prisms high in clerestory windows.

Oh, and my baby granddaughter Gracie is the most beautiful child in the whole, entire world!

Thanks again for visiting. I look forward to connecting with you here on my blog, on Facebook or Twitter, in an online course, or in person at a live event.
