Years ago, a class Emileigh Zola signed up for was canceled last minute and she ended up in a traditional broom making class. This serendipitous turn of events put her on the path to what would become a big love of her life as well as her main livelihood. It's more than just how good it feels to make things with our hands, Emileigh has what she describes as "a fierce devotion to the beauty of the ordinary." A special, handmade broom meant for sweeping your floor can help transform the "blah" of an everyday chore into more of a ritual and as Emileigh says, "creates an everyday opportunity for slowing down and really being intentional." She is also a teacher of broom making workshops, an herbalist and organizer of women re-wilding gatherings. She reminds us that learning a new skill is an opportunity for us to be beginners again, to allow ourselves to really go for the things that light us up and when that special creative/growth opportunity presents itself to have the courage to "put our hand on the door and open it."
