Autorenporträt
GEORGI STONE grew up in Perth Western Australia where she graduated in psychology in 1977. Soon after she set off to trek overseas and lived in a squat in London for three years, working in varied roles as a barmaid, a painter and decorator, a women's refuge worker and a rape crisis counsellor - this shapes her autobiographical accounts in 'In The Land of Squats'. It was during this time in 1979 that she traversed Northern Africa and the Sahara desert as journalled in her first published book 'Hitch: a journey through no-woman's land of the Sahara wilderness'. The following year she returned via America to Australia, where she continued employment in women's refuges and rape crisis counselling in various states over the next two decades. During the mid 1980s in Sydney she was also part of a government-funded women's carpentry team, and studied part-time in naturopathy. She returned to Perth in the early 1990s and gave birth to her daughter. Disillusioned with the clinical and drug-based path of psychology, Georgi Stone trained professionally in Expressive Arts Therapies, utilising psychotherapeutic techniques in drama, dance, art, sound, writing, and ritual, and incorporating this into the facilitation of workshops and therapy programs. Integrated into her life and work has always been an avid interest in quantum and esoteric science/philosophy, natural healing, community arts, feminist activism and both human and animal rights.
