some of what's springing forth
Greetings in these days of the waning moon,
In this part of the moon cycle, I'm assessing, reflecting, organizing, before going into my intentions for the moon cycle.
How about you? Any intentions for this weekend's new moon?
This love letter shares some of what's springing forth + addresses a delicate topic.
First: what's springing forth
Part of my vision for Siderealchemy is that it has an online class portal, where you can choose classes and workshops to explore and study on your own schedule.
I've been teaching in some capacity for 25+ years. I love it, despite the times when I told myself teaching wasn't *really* my path - you know, just that constant thing that is on the way to the real thing? Silly me - the path to the "real path" IS the path.
That said, I also know that I don't want to teach live all the time. I had that schedule for decades, and since leaving it I haven't miss it.
Hence, the online portal. Hopefully you know about Soul Projects by now. (And if not, more info later in this letter.) I'm not planning on teaching it live repeatedly; it will simply be in the library for when you want to take it. For those registered, your will continue to have access to it.
Quick tangent about Soul Projects, as this relates to a question I've gotten several times about live classes:
* You are not required to attend the live classes. Just know that this won't be an option if you take the class later. But you can register now and dig into everything as self-study. *
Following Soul Projects, here are some other upcoming classes:
~ Kinetic Intuition
~ Dive Into Your Deck
~ Light Your Lantern
If you're wondering if any of those titles are related to tarot or oracle decks, the answer is YES! That material has been under development since last summer, when I taught a tarot class. I hope you're as excited as I am to dig into these topics. And if you're wondering what Kinetic Intuition is, keep reading.
Before that, though, the more delicate topic: money.
I don't like to focus on money, which is why you haven't seen love letters or social media posts in the vibe of "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO BUY THIS AMAZING THING AT THIS AMAZING LOW PRICE LIMITED TIME OFFER YOU'LL REGRET MISSING THIS FOREVER."
Money not my top motivator. I see money as a byproduct of doing my work well, of providing support and value to people who work with me.
But I still live in capitalism. And I value transparency. More importantly, there is an important intersection of money and Soul Projects that I want to mention.
One reason I created Soul Projects is because I found practical resources too thinking-oriented, without enough intuition or energetics, and energetic resources too airy, without any practical information.
Another reason is because so many of the resources for solopreneurs or small operations are SO expensive. B School is one of many examples, one that I've never used. I'm not criticizing people who have $2K-3K to invest in their business, before they're making any revenue. But when I was starting out, this resource was completely out of the question for my budget.
So, one of the challenges I confronted with Soul Projects was if I could make a meaningful resource that could cost significantly less, without me feeling like I was working for free.
(Maybe you can relate? I've done that far too often over the years, and yes, we're going to dig into how that can happen, during the course of Soul Projects.)
And I'm pleased with what I created - a potent offering that shows you how to customize your work, at less than a quarter of the cost of an accelerator.
Why that's possible - because Soul Projects is less hand-holding and more of you truly digging into yourself. It's not a class for me to provide you a how-to based on how I would run your business.
I could sell something like that, and charge a lot for it. I could guarantee that it would work, because I know it would work for me. But that's way out of my integrity, though—because I know you're not me, and thus my way won't yield the same success I would have.
And that's how I see a lot of accelerators, including B School, based on the many graduates who haven't made traction in their soul projects. Marie Forleo's method works, but that doesn't mean it is in alignment with you.
And what's not in alignment with you doesn't work.
So, I created a way for you to learn, so that you create success in a way that's truly in alignment with you. And because you take an active role in co-creation, rather than simply receiving all the steps from me, I feel clear in saying that it works.
(In a roundabout way, this class is also a gift to past me, who would have devoured a resource at such an accessible price point.)
Last thing about money: I feel comfortable saying that the price will probably change. There are many reasons, for chief among them is that I want to show appreciation for people who are willing to be first. Again, I've specifically abstained from "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO BUY THIS AMAZING THING AT THIS AMAZING LOW PRICE LIMITED TIME OFFER YOU'LL REGRET MISSING THIS FOREVER."
But, again, I value transparency. I don't want to be disingenuous, given that I already have this clarity. Now you know what I know.
All that to say - I hope to see you in a class or workshop soon! More info on Soul Projects (including a discount code) in the PS.

To expansion,
S.
