    16. digital presence is a place

    hello again, after a few months break. during my retreat, I thought a lot about what being "present" online means. I'll propose that digital presence isn't dependent on your labor or content production, but about cultivating a digital container that holds your energy. I'll explore: choosing inner rhythms over consistency pressure freedom from treating yourself as a means of production embodying the permission to be absent why content batching doesn't really work for me how time works differently on the internet accumulating wormholes to past selves digital spaces as vessels for presence ~ 🌊 visit my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weekly letters 🏡 explore house on the webs 🪷 book an advising session 💧 water my world

    15. no fear of being seen

    on untangling the fear of being seen -- and understanding where the desire to hide (in your creative work, life, or your digital expressions) comes from, and exploring how to release it. we'll dive into: the practice of un-hiding yourself the tension of being different being present is more important than being public deliberately curating your safe zones facing your imaginary shadow gaze why making art in public -- IS the practicing seeing yourself becoming the loving, attentive gaze ~ 🌱 additional resources make art for no audience make art in the void ⁠the internet as a creative practice⁠ house on the webs ~ 🌸 read ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly letters⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    14. making a home on the internet

    inhabiting a home on the internet is really about making space to be yourself, in public. you resist the digital flattening of the self and, instead, grow a wild ecosystem. how? first, through committing to your creative practice. in this episode, we’ll explore: what it means to inhabit a space my three step, cyclical processes for growing a digital home -- create, curate, carve paths. why focus on creation first, before structuring Q&A: how often do you need to maintain a website? Q&A: will things look jarring side by side? and more… I hope this episode gives you a sense of permission and possibility for growing and tending to a creative world of your own. 🌱 additional resources ⁠build a labyrinth, not a funnel⁠ house on the webs: introductionhouse on the webs: day 0 incubation workbuild a world, not an audience the internet as a creative practice ~ 🌸 read ⁠⁠⁠⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    13. the anatomy of a digital world

    this week, I’ll deconstruct and translate the concept of website as digital world into concrete design elements, and give you a poetic reframing of how to think about each piece of your website under the philosophy of world-building — we’ll explore: the website as a body to inhabit the atmosphere of a world — vision / brand / world logic places & destinations — homepage & subpages the garden for creative growing things — blog CMS 4 pathways of traveling — navigation & links this episode is about the big-picture vision of imagining and building a website world, and making your creative home in a digital body. 🌱  additional resources house on the webs: introduction house on the webs: day 0 incubation work how to build a world: a cyclical guide ways of seeing by john berger ~ 🌸 read ⁠⁠⁠⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    12. your website is not a brochure

    why your website doesn’t have to be a brochure that compartmentalizes your infinite self — into three glossy pages. I’ll put these two frameworks side by side: “website as brochure” vs. “website as a digital garden-home-world”, and explore: why we feel pressured to turn ourselves into brochures the ethos and intention to sell / show / prove / substantiate — versus the intention to exist, inhabit, and be how brochure-like websites compartmentalize and limit the self into a marketing “niche” on building a nourishing garden-world to hold the multi-dimensional, expansive creative self — and invites visitors to linger why building a rich digital world to share your creative wealth is the key to inviting in prosperity ~ 🌱 additional resources house on the webs course infinite possibilities for a digital world how to build a world: a cyclical guide why world-building is wealth-building the internet i long to visit, inhabit, and build ~ 🌸 read ⁠⁠⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    11. the joy of missing out on platforms

    this episode is about my approach to cultivating a creative and business life outside of all social/content platforms (including Substack and Youtube) -- and feeling excited about it. this is not a critique of platforms so much as a portrait of alternative possibilities: we’ll explore: why platforms are like cruise boats - seemingly “easy” and “effortless” by promising all the amenities you’d ever need (while keeping you locked in). alternatives frameworks and approaches to (1) building community (2) being discovered (3) “monetization” (4) content creation/distribution why embrace making art alone; why being hard to find is not a bad thing the power of embodying your individual essence — centering in your creative process outside of the validation loop of platforms 🌱 additional resources off the grid: leaving social media without losing all your clients how I share my work as an introverted artist build a world, not an audience why world-building is wealth-building make art for no audience make art in the void ~ 🌸 read ⁠⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    10. sharing your work as creative release

    on a radically different way to relate to sharing your work on the internet — how to see sharing as a part of the creative process, not separate from it. I’ll explore the shifts in perspective that unlocked the act of showing up as myself, in public. we’ll explore: emotional resistance to sharing your work — swimming through feelings of overwhelm, creative stuckness, and guilt. sharing as being in energetic flow with the world sharing as creative release & death cycle sharing as cultivating creative self worth sharing as an act of surrender my 4 guidelines for more effortless and easeful sharing I’ll explain why I think sharing your work is NOT about the audience, or for “the other” — it’s first and foremost — for ourselves, and our creative flow. ~ 🌸 read ⁠the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    09. the internet as a creative practice

    this week’s episode is about inhabiting yourself on the internet — by relating to it as a public vessel for your ongoing creative self. I’ll explore: the opposite of internet as creative practice -- the internet as performance, as a strategy game, and as obligation seeing the internet as a genre-defying infinity canvas for your creative expressions how being in public is about allowing yourself to be seen internet as a portal for manifesting new visions and worlds this episode is an expansion of a post I wrote a few months ago with the same title. ~ 🌸 read the ⁠⁠⁠⁠text transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠ of this episode 🗺️ visit me on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
