055. The Psychology of Creative Practice and Belonging

As a heads up, if you’re listening to this on Monday, July 29th enrollment into the Treehouse closes tonight and it’s $67 bucks to join! The Treehouse is a monthly membership holding you accountable to weekly returns to your Zone of Desire through live workshops, open studios, guided meditations and black feminist worldbuilding tools. I hope you’ll join us inside The Treehouse! Our first workshop inside is on August 6th and it’s all about collaborating with our ancestors, desires and intentions inside our Weekly Dispatches.
