In June, I’m heading back to teach at the phenomenal Sacred Makers Retreat at Squam Lake in New Hampshire. That place is so tranquil, peaceful and restorative. I’ll be teaching a mixed media textile based class on making chakra blessing flags to support creative expression, embodied peace and inner empowerment. The line up of teachers is amazing and the classes are all focused on healing the creative spirit with a mix of mediums, techniques and approaches. It’s going to be so good. 🩷

Here is the community of teachers I’m lucky to be there with:

Want to come hang out with me by the lake and make art and then never leave? The link to sign up is in my bio. ❤️

And I took a stroll down memory lane and looked through photos from when I taught there in 2022, that was so fun! That’s when I met , , , , and so many other special souls. 🩷🩷🩷

It was a good day of conversations with beautiful textiles. I love touching them so much and always find myself contemplating them as I my hands move over them. I found myself exploring the idea of deconstructing/reconstructing a lot today as I worked and felt inspired to take apart multiple pieces I have, picking out stitches from two gorgeous vintage mudcloth blankets, carefully cutting up a pillow made from a vibrant Peruvian frazada blanket and gently pulling out some of the radiantly dyed wool from the weave that was coming loose. I also cut up a lovely block printed tapestry from India…

There is something so compelling to me about what happens when I deconstruct something, what I learn about it as I hold it, study it and feel it…I get hints about how it was made and wonder about the artist(s) who made it. I needed to collaborate with these artists today, to be in quiet community with them, to create something new with my creative spirit and theirs working together.

It felt so good to get through the tense stage of not knowing where I was going and if I would ruin the precious textiles by making certain creative choices. As I kept going, I eventually saw a new little book structure emerge that excited me and a long scroll shape that wants to become something. They are both now resting in the land of possibilities (aka my art table!) until I come back to them tomorrow. 🩷

Lately, I have been really wanting to make art in community with other people so I decided to create a Peaceful Online Art Retreat on Zoom from March 6th-8th. I’ll teach gentle, calming art projects I am turning to lately to help me relax, ground and quiet my mind. Over three days, I’ll lead these workshops and gatherings on Zoom:

•Make a Peace Jacket
•Create Mini Prayer Flags
•Make a Peace Altar with Air Dry Clay Alcoves
•Create a Slow Stitched Peace Scroll
•Peaceful Poetry: Listen, Write, Share
•Ensō Meditation Paintings
•Slow Stitching Circle
•Quiet Creating Circle

The materials needed are simple. No art making experience is necessary. You can come to as many sessions as you’d like to or watch the recordings if that feels better for you.

If you’d like to join me, you can sign up here: https://emmafreeman.podia.com/peaceful-online-art-retreat ❤️

with love and peace,
Emma Freeman

“We walk not to bring you peace, but to remind you it never left—it’s been there through every storm, every heartbreak, every lonely night, waiting with infinite patience for you to notice it again. May our footsteps help you turn inward and find it. And may that discovery be like sunrise after the longest night, dispelling shadows you thought were permanent and filling your whole being with radiant wellness, with comfort, with belonging.”

“May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.”

These words from the peaceful Buddhist monks who are walking across the United States right now really touch my heart. Have you been following along with their journey?

I am finding such calm and support in turning to loving mindfulness practices including what they are sharing. And I am noticing I am drawn to my fabric meditation books, I have been holding them, looking at them, laying them out on my art table and am finding their presence to be so comforting and peaceful. I see each stitch as a mindful, peaceful step I took in the past, one at a time, moment by moment. I am feeling inspired to stitch a new one to support myself right now with the simple, steady anchor of slow, mindful stitching with beautiful, soft fabrics. This practice held and helped me in many moments before and I love that it is right there waiting for me to ease back in. I am trying not to overthink my material choices and just get going, remembering that when I just started in the past, something beautiful and surprising emerged. 🩷🙏🏼

If you want to learn how to make your own books with me, I have a Make Fabric Meditation Books on-demand class, which you can sign up for here:

May we all feel happy, healthy and supported by caring relationships and practices that fill our hearts with love, kindness and joy. 🩷

I am so happy to be part a wonderful educational online summit for women that starts on February 9th that is hosted by my friend, Michelle Lee (). She is a poet, deep feeler and healer who works with women to support creative expression, deep shadow work, spiritual practice and revelatory self-discovery. We sat together and had a wonderful, rich conversation about our experiences with shadow work and the necessity of creativity as a healing and self-discovery tool in our lives. She is such a wise, caring and generous soul. 🩷

Today, I went down and in, then up and out, in my artwork. There is something about touching my painful emotions, thoughts and memories memories through art making that felt healing and nurturing. Today, I chose to paint, make little altars with special objects that spoke to me and listen to music. I also stitched a new contemplation cloth by a warm fireplace. I felt soothed and comforted by it all. Hopeful insights and breathing room opened in my heart and mind as I devoted myself to these self-care practices and choosing to slow down, be mindful and act lovingly towards myself.

May you feel peace, calm and joy in your mind and heart today. 🕊️🦋💗

It felt so good to be back in my healing space today doing a Reiki session with a beautiful soul! We cleared energy, made important connections for her to move forward in positive ways and synchronicities happened that made us both smile and feel awe. I love this energy work so much, it is amazing each time and so uplifting to my clients and me.

I have openings for in-person and virtual Reiki sessions in December if you are seeking mind, body, and soul support. You can learn more and book a session with me through my bio or at www.wings-of-light.org/book. 💗

A few glimpses from my art table today after an inspiring group meeting with other artists and includes beautiful souls who are in this creative life too. The flow of ideas, stories, support and care feels so good! Being in community with other artists is something that I love and need so deeply. I have great ideas coming in hot lately to my mind and heart and am looking forward to bringing them into being, all in good timing. 💖

I knew I’d know what these vintage floral handkerchiefs wanted to create with me. I could feel it. I knew if I trusted the feeling that I needed to be with them alone in my studio, to touch them, to slow down and play and open to all creative possibilities that something would happen. And boy did it today! I was suddenly inspired to dive into a healing journey with the support of the flowers and painting that was unexpected and deep. It took me to places inside myself I didn’t know needed to be tended to. The process unfolded to become something freeing, empowering and releasing. I cried and moved energy and felt lightened. I heard, “Give it to the flowers” so I did. The energy of pain, of limitation, of fear. I gave it all to them. And in return they gave me love, they gave me unending life force energy to fill in where the other energy was being stored inside me. I felt my body relax and release and receive and let go. It was incredible. 💖

Now I see this page and take it into my heart. There are words in hidden layers underneath that I circled before I painted rich, dark blues over them that felt like the night sky. Then my hands knew when and how to cut the handkerchief with no thinking, just feeling and flowing. It was an alchemical experience that might be the new incandescent way of creating art that I am being led to.

Light moves through art making each time we move our intention into our hearts and allow that to move us into the making process. And light is what we are made of, it is love, it is health, it is joy, it is all that is good. There is no end to the light we can bring in and move through our hearts and that is so exciting! There are so many ways to become light movers: art making, loving what we love and going into each day intentionally sharing that love with ourselves and those in our lives, dancing freely, laughing, hugging, crying, joyfully yessing in the face of fear and doing what we want to truly do, the list goes on and on.

It is my deep hope that we all get to know these possibilities and unearth our light from whatever is stifling it so we can all shine and share it for ourselves and everyone else on the planet. 💖

From November 12th–21st, I’ll be gathering with more than 20 heart-led entrepreneurs for the Activate Your Freedom Blueprint Summit—a free, 10-day online experience that invites us to reimagine what it means to be supported, resourced, and in flow. Together, we’ll explore new, creative pathways for tending our income dreams in ways that honor our bodies, our energy, and the deeper wisdom that guides our work in the world.

I’ll be sharing my journey as an artist and creative entrepreneur—how I’ve slowly shaped a business rooted in love, joy, and connection, and how caring for my work has become a devotional spiritual practice for me.

If you’ve been feeling the call to soften your relationship with income, work, and freedom—and to build something that feels like you—this gathering might be a nourishing place to land.

The summit is free, and each session will be available to watch for 48 hours after it airs.

I love spiders and have had many experiences where they appear and I feel they are a messenger and sign from Spirit to pay attention and explore something deeper. I’ll tell you about one that made me laugh recently. Settle in for story time!

I was sitting here at my art table a few weeks ago, untangling a giant knotted mess of red thread, carefully pulling one thread out and wrapping it around a piece of cardboard to put in kits for students at a retreat. In my mind, I was wrestling with a lot of thoughts and emotions about an intense spiritual experience that I hadn’t fully made sense of yet. It felt like a tangled mess inside me. THEN, I feel something drop on the top of my head and it bounced down in front of me, right on to the mess of thread and guess what it was? A spider! I just laughed and said hi because I knew this jumpy spider well. It has been with me in my bedroom for many months, mostly on the windows in front of me when I’m working.

I felt like the Universe literally bopped me on the head with a sign and made it SO obvious with the spider and the threads I was pulling at literally and metaphorically…it felt so reassuring and got me out of a negative thought loop in that moment. That’s what I love about signs, they are so practical and helpful (and magical, of course!) ✨

I pulled this spider oracle card again yesterday from the gorgeous Spirit Animal Oracle deck by and the image and message resonate so much. I love this part: “Weaving your dreams into the fabric of life begins with a single thread of intention, and then Spirit joins you as your co-weaving partner.” So true and beautiful! 🕸️🕷️💖
