180. Emily Bingham: Sustainable Creativity Beyond The Content Machine

How have the shifts in the distribution of information impact the mindset of readers in recent decades? What is the role of spiritual practitioners within the current media ecosystem? How might artists and creators design a path of sustainable, reciprocal relationships with those who enjoy their work?

On the one hand, the current media landscape provides an ideal setting for anyone who'd like to share their work. As long as you have internet and a device, you could theoretically share your work with the whole digital world. On the other hand, it can feel increasingly challenging to get our work to the right people, let alone to cut through the noise and make a sustainable living.

In this captivating conversation, I invited writer and editor Emily Bingham to share her extensive experience and brilliant insights on these big questions.

Here's Emily's bio:

Emily Bingham is a writer and editor working at the intersection of nature, wonder and well-being. Her work aims to guide readers to a deeper awareness of and appreciation for the complex living landscapes around us and within ourselves. Most recently she was a reporter for Michigan’s largest digital news site, where she covered nature, the night sky, regional travel and outdoor recreation. She is currently on a self-made sabbatical after nearly 20 years in journalism. In addition to learning what it means to truly rest, she is exploring continued ways of being a facilitator of curiosity and connection – this time through her trainings in astrology, herbalism, flower essences, yoga nidra and guided time in nature. Follow her on instagram at @emilyisoutside for current writings and future offerings.

Emily also recently recorded a lo-fi yoga nidra practice, which you can access here.
