In this episode, I talk to Stardust Magick. Star is a transformation artist- transforming herself and others through costume and performance. She helped form the Mystic Family Circus in California and has performed at festivals the world over. She believes in radical expression and lives with an open heart and with the intention of simply spreading joy to others.

Star has long explored the meaning of community, as she has woven her way in and out of tribes across the world- both ancient and self-made. She says that, over time, she’s learned that she doesn’t belong to any one tribe; that she’s a “tribe hopper” and adopts the best of each community she encounters.

For the past two years, Star has been teaching hair styling at ASKV, an organization that helps undocumented refugees in the Netherlands. She talks about the rewarding experience that it has been and how it has opened up another element of community for her. She encourages others to learn about the organization and get involved.

As a nomadic free spirit who has been changing countries ever since she was a child, I was curious how Star would define home, and she immediately reflected on her connection to nature as feeling like home, but after some thought, she went on to really explore and reflect on the various ways she feels at home.

Check out more of Star’s work on her website or facebook. She is available to perform at parties. She is also available to do transformative styling through hair, make-up, and custom headdresses and costumes. Photos and Links on the blog: http://wp.me/p8obcR-wy
