About Me
Erick Rook – Storyteller, Seeker, and Creator of Whispers of Insight, Shadows and Soulscapes, and Wild Roots Society.
Discover about me, Erick Rook, creator of Shadows and Soulscapes, Whispers of Insight, and Wild Roots Society. Storytelling meets mindfulness and nature.
This isn’t just a creative project. It’s a reflection of my own unfolding: a journey through imagination, mindfulness, and meaning. Shadows and Soulscapes, Whispers of Insight, and Wild Roots Society were all born from the quiet places where reflection meets story, where nature becomes mirror, and where the seen softly blends into the unseen.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to those thresholds. Whether hiking through Sedona’s red rock silence, moving through Qigong flows, or writing in nature, I’ve searched for experiences that open the heart without forcing it… that guide gently, without needing to direct.
My path has woven through martial arts, screenwriting, and contemplative practices—all offering different ways of listening. Through Wild Roots Society, I now share that listening with others, guiding immersive events rooted in story, movement, journaling, and nature. These aren’t performances or presentations, they are quiet invitations. Not retreats, but returns.
This work is also a tribute to my late grandfather, who handwrote fairy tales in calligraphy and read them to children at the library. In many ways, I’m carrying on his legacy, crafting spaces where art and story offer a kind of remembrance: of self, of presence, of the mystery.
Thank you for walking a few steps with me. I invite you to explore Shadows and Soulscapes, Whispers of Insight, and Wild Roots Society, not just as content to consume, but as places to pause, breathe, and rediscover the quiet voice that’s always been with you.
