I’m in the middle of a 40 day group quantum leap program alongside one of my mentors right now.
Essentially I am focusing on several elements of my ideal creative future, continuously, every day, so that they become so embedded as habits and mental practices that they become second nature.
It has me thinking about how quickly dreams can come true: How quickly we can actually shift into the timeline we want to be in when the walls we build around possibility are allowed to crumble.
When we choose to live in that possibility, rather than being restricted by what feels realistic or safe to attain.
Growth, in any form, requires discomfort.
It asks us to move in ways that cause us to feel deeply, reflect in new ways, and ultimately to outgrow the current boundaries of ourselves in order to encompass something new.
For me, I have a clear timeline for that (40 days) because I’m doing consistent work, and I know that because I’m showing up consistently, every day, I can 100% trust that the shifts I want to make will happen, and that they’ll continue to fall into place even long after that 40 days is done.
I’m also thinking about what this means for you. And for us.
What if you also chose to leap into your own desired future? What if you started laying the groundwork now, today, making the future you want something you are actively building towards right now, rather than something you keep as an abstract possibility?
Keeping your desires at arm’s length feels safe, but it also means you’ll never take the leap you need to achieve them.
When you collapse the timeline between where you are now and where you want to be, by finding ways to embody that future now, suddenly it isn’t abstract. It isn’t distant.
It’s something you’re an active participant in. The future isn’t maybe, or some day, or ‘that will never happen.’
It’s something you’re doing in real time. The future you want becomes an experience that’s also happening now, and expanding as time goes on.
This is also inspiring me to think about how best to show up for you. Whether we’ve worked together before or you just enjoy the newsletter or tangentially following along with my work.
And that has led me to some exciting announcements plus questions.
First, the questions.
Here’s the big one: I want to make sure the ways I’m showing up for you are actually in response to the things you need.
And, I’m thinking of offering my own quantum leap-esque program again this late summer or early autumn (if you’ve done Radical Creators with me before, you’ve experienced a version of this).
This also leads me to…announcements!
I’m excited to share two things coming up later this year to get them on your radar now (don’t worry, we’ll have plenty more great stuff to do together between now and then).
These are the result of my reflections on how we can bring the creative life you want to lead into the here and now this autumn. Not next year, not ten years from now.
Both are 4 weeks long. Which means if you dedicate a bit of time each week, maybe a handful of hours, for 4 weeks, to doing this work, you’ll be well on the way to the creative life you desire and have the foundations to keep building on.
Seriously, it can happen that quickly.
New and improved writing workshop!
In November, I’m relaunching and reimagining my two always-sold-out writing workshops (Bloom, and Writing Playground) as a single, integrated space that is about 1000x more powerful and practical than previous versions.
I cannot believe how cool this new workshop is. I just designed the weekly calls last night and we’ve got so much good stuff in store that will absolutely shift how you work.
More details soon: I can’t wait to share it with you.
Sign up for the waitlist here if you want details right when they’re ready.
Reiki 1 training
Also in November: Reiki I training. Free for Symbiosis folks, almost-free for Mycelia Writers’ Coven folks. Open to folks outside those spaces, too.
Over the course of the month we’ll do your training mostly remotely, but with some live meetings too, and you’ll get a course workbook to keep as well as everything you need to start practicing Reiki at this level.
More details on this soon, too! You can join the Reiki I waitlist here.
I’ve got looooots more to announce, including an entirely new paradigm I’m working in for helping you build creative projects (as in, this has never been done before)…
But for now, I hope you’ll join me for one or both these live workshops, and for all the exciting things we’ll be doing this summer and fall (keep your eyes here for those details!) And as always, I’m only an email away if you have questions.
