Deep Rooted Healing Podcast with Emma Freeman Emma Freeman

Summary

Emma Freeman shares reflections on the power of retreats to replenish the creative spirit, drawing from her recent experience at a creative retreat at Snow Farm New England Craft in Williamsburg, Massachusetts organized by Ali Manning and her team from Vintage Page Designs. She discusses the restorative and inspiring nature of the retreat, the activities, realizations, and the impact on her creative journey and business.



Takeaways

-Retreats provide a restorative and inspiring environment for replenishing the creative spirit.

-The immersive nature of retreats fosters deeper connections and realizations within a community of like-minded individuals.

-The creative energy present in art making, Reiki, and other forms of expression is interconnected and flows through us in similar ways.

-Traveling and stepping out of routine can lead to fresh ideas and a renewed sense of alignment and purpose.

-The distinction between retreat experiences and workshop/class experiences lies in the immersive and communal nature of retreats, allowing for deeper connections and interactions.

-Living with questions and allowing experiences to guide the understanding can lead to the emergence of clarity and purpose over time.

In this episode of the Deep Rooted Healing podcast, I talk about why I bury some of my fabric meditation books in the earth for 30 days and then dig them back up. I share how my intuition has guided me in different moments with this process, the serendipity of learning about the Tibetan Buddhist practice of earth terma, or "hidden treasures" that are buried in the earth for others to discover and learn spiritual wisdom from and how that connects to the burying book process. I also share what the books have been teaching me and how this 2.5 year ongoing creative practice has fundamentally shifted my approach to art making.



I started a free and open invitation for anyone to join in if they want to make and bury books. It is called, "The Buried Earth Book Project." You can learn more about it here: www.deep-rooted-healing.com/collaborations/buried-books I invite people to share their images and reflections on Instagram using the hashtag #buriedearthbookproject. You can search for that and see what others have been creating, if you like.



You can see images of my buried fabric meditation books here: www.deep-rooted-healing.com/art-projects



This practice is art therapy for me. It has been deeply healing and transformative and has helped return me to an intimate, loving connection and relationship with the earth and my soul.
