What is Atmospheres?

Atmospheres is a communal writing practice, guided by the stars.

why atmospheres?

The intangible element that elevates a piece of writing to an artwork is contained in its atmosphere.

No one reads for technique; they read to become immersed in a world unlike their own.

Atmosphere is what is imprinted in that experience.

I will help you to create singular works of art by distilling atmosphere.

How does it work?

Atmospheres uses tiny containers of zodiacal time to sift ideas, feelings, and observations.

I will distill these ideas into potions.

These potions can help us to access the vastness of the cosmos, or a writing project.

The potions will be at the heart of our live rituals together.

What are the potions?

Each one will be different, according to the atmosphere and the psychic weather. They will all contain some combination of:

  • a ritual

  • a micro-syllabus

  • creative generative sparks

  • writing craft

  • audio

  • tiny classes

what does atmospheres include?

  • three live sessions per month where we write, or follow rabbit holes, together in an online cocoon. Each ninety minute session includes guidance, writing and research time, and optional sharing of work.

  • an potion sent in advance of each session to create the atmosphere for each session and to inspire and guide you as you generate new work, or rewild your ongoing projects. The potion will draw on the frequencies of each micro-season.

  • occasional special workshops on creative process and philosophy, guided by the atmosphere.

What will happen during the live rituals?

I will attune us to the seasonal shifts, give tiny practice notes, and offer accountability, guidance and creative sparks. I will send you down rabbit holes to help you to generate new material, and to rewild, revise, and transform work in progress.

I will hold space for us to be present, soft, and safe. To slow down and be curious together.

What happens between sessions might just alter the course of your project.
