About | Wild Roots Society | Erick Rook – Creative Guide, Filmmaker & Intuitive Practitioner
A quiet path through story, nature, and reflection... where presence deepens, and the unseen softly speaks.
Come discover more about me, Erick Rook, creator and guide, as well as my Zen philosophy vision for breathing life into my immersive world of Wild Roots Society.
Welcome. I’m Erick- a seeker, storyteller, and the guide through quiet spaces where nature and reflection meet. Wild Roots Society isn’t a place of answers. It’s a place of gentle invitations… to pause, to listen, to feel the earth beneath your feet again, and to rediscover parts of yourself that may have been long forgotten.
About My Path
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to life’s quieter thresholds. The hush of Sedona’s trails at sunrise… the rhythm of mindful movement… the poetry of an empty journal page waiting to be filled.
My path is inspired by Zen perspectives (Stanford Zen Entry) and nature’s own quiet wisdom. This has been woven through martial arts, screenwriting, contemplative practice, and a deepening relationship with the natural world. I’ve learned that the deepest wisdom rarely arrives through noise- it arrives in stillness, through the whispers of the earth, and the stories we carry within.
Why Wild Roots Society?
Wild Roots Society is an evolving offering- an invitation to return to nature’s wisdom through story, movement, and art. Not a retreat. Not a performance. Simply spaces of presence- for those seeking to walk a little closer to their own truth.
Through film, creative gatherings, written reflections, and embodied practice, I now share what continues to guide me: the power of slowing down, listening inwardly, and letting nature become mirror.
Personal Tribute
This work also honors my grandfather- a quiet storyteller who wrote fairy tales in calligraphy and shared them with children at the library. In many ways, I walk in his footsteps, crafting spaces where story and art offer gentle remembrance… of self, of presence, of mystery.
My Invitation, to All of You
Thank you for being here. Whether you explore the films, journal pages, or simply walk your own path a little more mindfully today- may these offerings serve as quiet, gentle companions along your way.
