You know how stories end? Slowly, then all at once.

The career that fit like armor now feels like a costume.

The relationship script you memorized has no next lines.

Even your spiritual practices taste like yesterday's bread.

You're between stories.

And despite what everyone tells you,
this isn't a problem to fix.

Writing on why romance novels might be archetypal medicine for the times

FIRE STORIES 2026

Four Saturdays for those tending seedlings while the castle burns

2026 arrives with Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus all shifting signs—the cosmos demanding we hold impossible tensions.

Not just survive them. Create within them.

Because while 2025 stripped us bare, something's pushing through the cracks that needs conscious tending, not abandonment.

This workshop series gathers those exhausted by narratives of only fear or only light. Together, we'll explore how stories and myth become practical guides for relating to volatile energies like curious lovers, not bracing for impact.

Four progressive Saturdays discovering how the imaginal
realm offers actual instructions for midwifing the new while
the old world resists its end.

For those ready to discover the plot twists that
serve the emergence.

Explore What's Emerging

Some doors only open when
we stop trying to return to who we were.

Whether you're here for cosmic perspective, practical guidance, or conversations about change—welcome.
This is where we explore what happens after the old story ends.
