Emily Meister Profile

Hi! Welcome,

I am so happy you are here and if we haven’t had the chance to meet yet, I can’t wait to!

A little more about me…

I am an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and holistic wellness practitioner deeply committed to exploring the intersections of creativity, community, and ecological stewardship. With a rich background in performance art, choreography, physical theatre, and experimental filmmaking, my practices are rooted in a multidisciplinary approach that honors the interconnectedness of the human experience with natural and built environments.

In addition to my artistic practice, I am a dedicated practitioner of herbalism, breathwork, sound healing, energy work, and earth embodiment. These practices are not only integral to my personal life but also inform my teaching, creative and producing process. I believe that art is a powerful tool for healing and transformation, and I am passionate about creating spaces where individuals can reconnect with their bodies, emotions, hearts and the earth.

My work spans theatrical, site-specific, environmental art, immersive and interactive performances, both intimate and large scale, showcasing my ability to create compelling narratives through movement and physical expression. I am a never-ending student. I love learning. I am a certified Herbalist, Reiki Energy Master, and a Breathwork and Sound Healing Practitioner. My holistic practices are deeply informed by the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing, in my deep listening and integration of being in practice with the plants, the elements, and methods for creation and for wellbeing. Through sound baths, breathwork, movement, herbalism, and guided meditative experiences, I facilitate experiences, connection, ceremony, spaces, creativity and practices.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that artistic and personal growth are intertwined. I approach my work with wonder and curiosity, a beginners mind, constantly exploring new ways of being and creating. My movement aesthetic is sensory-based, originating from a place of deep listening and response to the environment and those within it. Whether in the classroom, the studio, or in nature, I create spaces that encourage presence, exploration, discovery, transformation and connection.

I am dedicated to cultivating spaces where creativity and self development coexist, where individuals are empowered to express their authentic selves, and where the energy of the earth is honored and integrated into daily practices. My journey is one of continuous exploration and integration, both within myself and the world around me.
