Heart

: Nanna Aida Svendsen is an explorer and mapmaker of the inner realms, writer and poet. Her passion is linking consciousness with the heart and feeling into the emergent, naming where consciousness wants to evolve, and what might be getting in the way: something she likes to do on her blog, in her writing, in poetry readings, and in the soul time groups she runs. Born in England, she grew up in Denmark, lived in the US for many years and currently makes her home with her husband in Sweden. Her book Of Water Liles and Warm Hearts has been translated into Swedish by Eva Sanner, and many of the poems in this book have been translated in to Swedish by Asa Leander. For more information about both the English and Swedish versions, as well as her fairy tale Freya and the Magic Cloak.

"Nanna's words heal. Her poetry is balm for the soul, a language of the heart that returns us to what matters most in life." Cheryl Richardson best selling American author, life coach, presenter and broadcaster "What can I say? Your poems help us reach inside ourselves to our essence. They help us remember who we are. They are fierce with tenderness, truth and love." Christiane Northrup MD. Noted American visionary, writer, speaker and television personality "Svendsen has really thought about the essence of things, the emotional machinery of living, and there is something really appealing about her crisp and almost visionary observations. She shifts the shadows to show light, shifts the light to show shadows. There is no cleverness, no word-magic, just the offering of some cold and warming eternal truths." Peter Thabit Jones editor Seventh Quarry Poetry Magazine, Wales "Nanna's poems are full of the charm of an innocent child, the passion of a feminine heart and the wisdom of the deepest soul. I am always opened and transformed by them. " Eva Sanner Swedish author and therapist
