Plan Your Year with Our First Mini-Salon of 2026

Let's journal our way into our creative destination

Join me and and fellow writer, Sarah Kokernot, author of Your Wild and Radiant Mind for the first mini-salon of 2026! During our mini-salons, 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 of astrology and tarot. You can read more about Sarah and her work here.

Each mini-salon offers a different topic and paid subscribers are invited to send us their questions beforehand. January’s’s mini-salon topic is “Reflect, Attune & Design: Make a roadmap for mindful creative work in 2026.” While previous mini-salons were mostly group-based discussions, this one will be a mix of venting, tapping into our intuition, and guided journaling. We want you to leave with an actionable plan for your creative projects, but one that won’t feel like a burden on your already packed to-do list.

You can sign up for the mini-salon here.

The Mini-Salon will take place on Friday, January 9 at 12 pm ECT //1 pm CT. 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 (Jan.5 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.

• Sign up to receive the Zoom link here.
