Working with Emma
What they are saying:
"... I think that the 1 year container for [the WFW] training is appropriate because I feel like I am being initiated into an ancient way of being. A way of being where I’m more connected to my innate wisdom and the Web of Life....I’m learning to visualize my dreams and goals as well as how to actualize them. The journey to get there is so much more Multidimensional that I ever could have imagined. It has ignited something within me, remembering my innate creativity has invigorated so many aspects of life: be it my studies, my practices as an herbalist, my relationships, even parenting. The training touches so many aspects of life, it can be integrated into everything and it’s been really beautiful." ~J. S.
“The Weavers are Women craft journey with Emma was a truly wonderful experience that I will carry with me fondly. It was not only a craft journey but also a quest to build a stronger appreciation for and connection to oneself as a woman and to Mother Nature. Throughout the journey Emma stood alongside me every step of the way. She listened very intently and without judgement, letting me pave my own way, and guiding me when l asked for help. The course was structured in such a way that it allowed me to follow a path but also allowed me to do so with an open and curious mind, making it a comfortable learning experience. At the end of this journey I felt refreshed and eager to create more alongside Mother Nature. I enthusiastically recommend taking a course with her.”​ ~ A.D.
"My experience working with Emma has a depth and magnitude that honestly I'm still discovering. Her work is as far from shallow as you can arrive. It's therapy but for the heart and for the creative that lives within all of us. What I found most poignant about her work was her ability to protect and honor my journey, not leading it. All of us are more than likely looking for answers and guidance but what Emma creates is a place, a journey for which we become our own guide. It's remarkable, truly, and it's hard and important work. She took so much time and intention to get to know me: my struggles, my strengths and with absolutely no judgement she crafted a ritual that honored my life and all its transitions and nuances.
As a creative/artist that was badly bruised from a studio practice that left me with immense self-doubt, Emma held all these truths and created a ritual around freedom. With just enough structure to get me started and to trust the process but with all the possibility of play and wonder. She truly empowers the creative within ourselves and helps us find our own wisdom. I now know the deep importance of her work since it's touched my personal life and hope her ripple can reach all of us struggling to live full, and creative lives. " ~P. W.
"The ROW was such a special, unique experience that helped me drop into myself further and expand my own spirituality and intuition within myself: Emma was truly such a joy to work with, her demeanor is so calm, encouraging and loving, she creates a warm environment to make you feel comfortable within yourself to truly be present in this work. Her suggestions and questions help you understand and create the journey you are on, and helps to incorporate all into your everyday life.
I feel more of an intuitive connection within myself and within my body, building even more of a mind body connection and expanding within myself. I cannot recommend this experience enough, and creating these rituals was such an amazing experience - I will forever continue to dedicate time and space to rituals! I truly enjoyed setting the stage for the rituals and creating art to help know myself better. Committing to the Rite of the Womb was special in the way that it also helped with my own practices I have been wanting to work on and build, such as meditating and journaling consistently, as well as resting and listening to my body.
I am so grateful to Emma for this experience, and would whole heartedly encourage others to work with her and receive her love and care." ~M. R.
"The lives we live and the stories we weave from birth to death become richer the more we acknowledge our connection to the natural world. We literally depend on trees for survival (oxygen) and on their natural rhythms of creation (spirit). Priestess [I.A.] is a creatrix and was a fabulous guide as I accessed and explored my connection with Ponderosa pine so I could allow Ponderosa to show me the genius of the places she inhabits and the genius of place that I inhabit within myself. I lived and traveled throughout Asia for 17 years and recently returned to the US. I only realized after I started the course how pivotal it was for me as a way to plug back into the genius of the place I now call home and to the power that trees have to ground us into the familiar as I navigated my home country that inevitably changed since I left her. I remembered my own particularities which helped me remember how to be here now.
I loved the guided meditations that opened me up to connecting with Ponderosa, gathering her needles and the supplies needed to weave them, and reflecting and integrating my experience each week into my daily rhythms of being. I remembered how to tend to the human rhythms of creation-sustenance-destruction-re-creation as I tend to the rhythms of my own children, to celebrate the raw beauty, joy and messiness of being as I tend to the rhythms of my personal relationships, and to find refuge in compassion and patience as I tend to myself and everything that lives and breathes. Weaving my story with Ponderosa as my guide, and guiding her needles through the gauge and into the basket I made, created a container for all the wisdom that is held by her and held within me." ~K.

"I think there is a part of me that does feel this yearning to be in nature more. The part of me that I access when I’m creative and writing more that I have not lost, but tamped down with all the doing of daily life. It’s that feminine, wild and free part of me that is empowered, independent, creative, a force that is united with nature, that isn’t just doing all the time but she’s operating from a place in her heart. Operating from a place of deep knowing and intuition. She cares about the people in her life and the world around her, but isn’t turning her back on herself because she cares so much about putting other people first. She’s not so attached to the outcomes of things, she’s not so attached to fears of things she actually can’t control. She’s more able to let go. It’s a part of me, that deep, knowing, grounded part of me, that I have not been operating from as much in the last several years in my life. There’s times I’ve operated from this space and had more access to it, but there’s a part of me that really needs this nurturing, and that’s what [the Wild Free Woman] training does for me." ~ J. P.
"I originally reached out to Emma for help with an issue I had around taking care of my personal belongings and around my value of money . Doing a self guided art practice was exactly what I needed. I was having a massive issue with not caring for my personal stuff and looking at the value of things I had worked hard to get in my life in a meaningless way. Emma set up a perfect, tailor made, practice for me to create and expand my vision through. During the art practice I dove deeper into what I value in life, and the outcome of this practice was much grander and eye opening than I could have asked for. Working with Emma was a beautiful and fun experience that was light and playful while also supporting me to go a little deeper into what I value and LOVE in this life." ~B. M.
"Working with Emma is full of depth, mystery & endless possibility. She guides you into your heart's playground where you can bring forth your own unique divine light to guide & discover the answers of your soul. For me the ROW Passage was empowering & enchanting, full of hidden gems that I never could have imagined in the first consultation when I undeniably knew- 'this is for me.' I feel like this experience will continue to expand my inner wisdom for years to come & I am so grateful for her loving expertise. I would highly recommend this journey for any & all Goddesses who are in search of a more aligned connection to their divine feminine nature." ~F. T.
"I am so pleased with my experience with the Weavers are Women course. The course was a wonderful balance of fellowship with other women, self-reflection and connection to the natural world through journeying, and the learning of the ancient knowledge of weaving. After each class, I felt rejuvenated and fulfilled. Emma was such a delight to learn from. as her energy and zest for life is contagious. I absolutely recommend taking this course." ~M. D.
