Spin-off projects by PLANTCRAFT creator Amirio Freeman.
Loam Listen is an expression of our belief at Loam that creative community can be a catalyst for resilience and reimagination in the heart of climate chaos. As the systems surrounding us collapse, it feels especially vital to nurture new ways of being through creating spaces for radical artists, activists, educators, and entrepreneurs in our community to share their stories on their terms. On Loam Listen, host Amirio Freeman opens conversation with our constellation of creatives who are responding to the climate crisis with a commitment to imagination, compassion, and care.
At the close of Loam Listen, host Amirio Freeman began to reflect on how they could harness the insight from the podcast into new forms. In response to a call for a collective homecoming to deep relationality of all kinds, he developed The Down to Earth Deck, a set of 40 conversation cards created to spark discussion about how each of us might connect back to ourselves, our communities, and the earth to nurture healing and take action toward building new worlds.
