Our Process

A Crowded Table is filled with transformative experiences, reciprocal relationships, meaning making, skill building, and reflective opportunities. Learn more about our creative process for gatherings, writing, and art making and what happens around the table in the pages highlighted below.

Emma writes short essays about her gathering and cooking experiences, metaphors for reflection and personalization, and guided awareness building visualizations inspired themes of emotional and physical nourishment for self and community through food, meal making, and gathering. Emma’s words have been featured in Digest Magazine, Sobremesa, and Golem Zine. Emma also creates collages and small sculptures from foraged natural elements and recycled materials inspired by the interconnectedness of all beings and our shared natural and made environment.
