    Truth Windows, Quiet Mornings & Old Art Journals

    It’s a lovely cloudy morning here in Wisconsin and I’m sitting at my little art table in my bedroom with coffee and the windows open that look out onto the woods around our house. I love these quiet mornings, this is the time when I sit and wander inside myself and with whatever inspires me in the moment. Today that is a sketchbook/art journal I wrote in two years ago that I picked up off my shelf the other day and started flipping through. I came across little sketches, creative ideas and thoughts I had forgotten about and they began stirring up fresh creative ideas and reflections. It reminded me how important it is to look back sometimes and how glad I am that I write things down by hand, not just on my computer or my phone, which I also do a lot of. But it is such a different, precious experience to keep handwritten journals and sketchbooks and then get to find them again later. One entry I found was from October 2022 with a quote from the gorgeous book by Mark Nepo called Drinking from the River of Light: The Life of Expression that I was reading at the time which I share on the podcast. He writes about “Truth windows”, an interior window placed inside an ancient style of dwellings to reveal what the walls were made of. When I read this, it blew the windows of my mind and heart wide open with inspiration and awe! I hope you enjoy listening. -See photos of my little art table, art journal I mention and a couple of photos of truth windows I found here: ⁠https://deep-rooted-healing.com/podcast/episode-42⁠ -Sign up for my newsletter to receive updates on what I'm creating and offering: ⁠https://emmafreeman.myflodesk.com/newsletter⁠ -See all of my on-demand creative classes and retreats here: ⁠www.deep-rooted-healing.com/classes⁠ -Follow me on Instagram ⁠@deeprootedhealing⁠. -Visit my website: ⁠www.deep-rooted-healing.com⁠.

    How Retreats Replenish My Creative Spirit

    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.

    Burying Fabric Books as a Healing Creative Practice

    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. ------ Emma Freeman is an artist, writer, poet, Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Practitioner.
