This course is a guide to starting when you don't know how to begin; a peek into the framework I use to build my life and projects. And a reminder that you already have everything you need.

We’ll use various mediums, media, and practices including (but not limited to) tarot, enneagram, poetry, your nervous system, sensuality, and embodiment, case studies, and more.

Week 1: Where are you?
wake up / notice / observe / pay attention

We are taking this week to orient ourselves in space and contextualize exactly where we are and who we are. This week is about waking up to what you already have and seeing it with new eyes.

Week 2: What do you have?
inventory / gratitude / archive / directory

This week is all about taking stock of what you already have at your disposal from a grounded, realistic perspective.

Week 3: What do you need?
identify / acknowledge / ask / receive / stop suffering

This week is about facing the hard stuff, mapping out where you need help, naming what feels impossible, and asking yourself how you can build in ease.

Week 4: What do you want?
desire / pleasure / curiosity / whimsey / delight / abundance

This week is about dreaming, world building, and play. Anything is possible (leave your inner critic at home!)

Week 5: How do these fit together?
cross reference / trickster energy / stubborn gladness

And finally, we will cross reference all the data you’ve gathered for the past four weeks and see what can be made of all the pieces of your life. Where your needs and desires can nourish each other. What you have to give, and where you need support.

We will meet LIVE throughout the month of January, 2024
Tuesday's from 6-8pm central
Classes will be recorded and uploaded within 24hrs

This is not a course to take one time, this is a guide to return to over and over again. You can apply it to teeny tiny bite sized practices, or it can support bigger projects like starting a business or completely re-ordering your life. I don't have a magic potion and I hope you finish this course asking more questions than when you begin. The magic is you, I'm just offering up the trellis I use, for you to modify and use, to grow along at your own rate.

This is the system I use in my Brain Orgies, It's the way I build my personal practice around joy, how I started The 4A Project and Saturday Morning Carton, and the way I evaluate my life and start again and again – and I'm finally writing it all down. It's scrappy, realistic, and dreamy. We will toggle between sustaining yourself on what you already have, while absolutely positively romanticizing your life, letting anything be possible, and making it all ritual.

I will be answering all the questions for myself; I promise to be honest, and not polish up the rough bits. I'll share my responses through video and audio recordings, drawings, and photos. I'll also offer up worksheets, and other downloadable resources for you to reference and integrate into your life.
