Hello Friends,

This coming Saturday, I am facilitating the first "Grief Tending in Good Company" generative writing workshop at WordHaven in Sheboygan.

Grief comes in so many shapes and sizes. Some active, right underneath the skin. Others, made so deeply apart of us, informing how we live our lives for years.

All of us know grief. But not all of us have shared our grief in ways that cultivate our creativity and community.

The hope is to offer this as a regular ritual for:

sharing and witnessing grief, a skill to cultivate in these challenging times
reading and writing poetry, one of our most potent ways to record and transform
connecting with others in a heart-centered, meaningful way

The format will be simple: free write to a few "pre-writing" prompts, read and openly discuss 2 - 3 poems about grief (personal and planetary), and then we will write a poem ourselves.

Sharing our first drafts is optional but I encourage you to share as there is *always* a magical shift that happens when you allow yourself to be witnessed, even if you may not think your poem is "any good."

Spoiler alert: all poems are as perfect as a tree. And, so, they are always good.

This workshop is $15 - scholarships are available

XOXO

KP KASZUBOWSKI POET, FILMMAKER, ASTROLOGER Hello Friend, I believe astrology isn’t about changing ourselves — it’s about making a kind, honest acquaintance with all the parts of who we are. When we build that relationship, something beautiful happens: more peace, more self-acceptance, more room to breathe inside our own lives. In my past clients' words: my sessions offer calm, clarity, and self-compassion for all parts of you / help you come out of a spiral and into trust / get you excited...

Taurus Season: pace yourself (...but how?)

KP KASZUBOWSKI POET, FILMMAKER, ASTROLOGER In February I put my astrology practice "in the cave" after a very clear gut message saying I needed to make sense for something that was brewing. [this *something* is still in its own cave, and will be for a while as I craft it scene-by-scene] Silly as it sounds, I thought this nudge was to put my practice in the cave for years... turns out I needed a very short pause in order to tend to those creative bulbs. What can I say? I'm a dramatic person....

You, Me, and the Spelunk Squad 🧃🤠

KP KASZUBOWSKI POET, FILMMAKER, ASTROLOGER Tomorrow is the final day to sign up for portal studies [bone course], and I want to make sure you don’t miss the chance to join this transformative journey. Look, every day we're getting another set of dog-shit news from the people who are supposed to be protecting us. (I don't care if I sound like a West Wing-era Pollyanna when I say I believe our representatives are meant to work for us, not against our basic human needs.) I've personally been...
