Announcing the May 2025 Mini-Salon!
If you've ever wondered "WHAT'S THE POINT?", this is the space for you
The third monthly, half-hour mini-salon with my friend and fellow writer, Sarah Kokernot, author of Your Wild and Radiant Mind is coming up! ICYMI, Sarah and I are now hosting these mini-salons where we talk about creativity through a practical and spiritual lens. Sarah tends to focus her newsletter on the woo side of writing, but on the back-end she is very practical (she offers coaching to writers, which are filled with actionable tips, and gives excellent feedback). I tend to focus my newsletter on the practical side of writing, but on the back-end I am very woo, which you’ve probably gleaned from my frequent mentions on astrology and tarot. You can read more about Sarah and her work here.
Topics for the mini-salon will change every month, and paid subscribers are invited to send us their questions beforehand. This month’s mini-salon topic is “Why Even Make This: Finding Spiritual & Practical Meaning in the Creative Process.” We wanted to talk about why we write, why we even try and what it is we are trying to do with with our writing. This will also be a space to discuss how to keep that why afloat when the world is being the nastiest skank bitch you have ever met. (I infuse Mean Girls any chance I get!)
You can sign up for the mini-salon here.
The Mini-Salon will take place this Thursday, May 8 at 12pm CST//1pm EST. After you sign-up, we’ll send you a Zoom link for this month’s salon.
The Mini-Salon is included in paid subscriber benefits. If you are a paid subscriber, you get into the salon for free as a subscription perk.
If you are a free subscriber, the mini-salon is offered as a pay-what-you-can event with $15 as the suggested fee. You don’t have to pay both of us, just whoever you subscribe to or feel like giving that day. I also want to stress that the suggested fee is a suggestion. We welcome other amounts! My venmo is inesbellina but we’ll also send you our Venmo info before and after the event. Thank you for supporting our work, our expertise, and making these salons sustainable throughout the year.
Paid subscribers are invited to send in their questions to us beforehand. We’ll tailor our conversation to your questions and show up prepared with advice and resources. Please DM your question to us by Monday of that week (March 10 for this one). Thanks to those who’ve already submitted! We can’t wait to chat about them.
Can’t make it on the date? Paid subscribers can watch the video for up to a month after the live event.
