This episode is for anyone who's considering forming a nonprofit, I've brought on Sierra Nicholls of CSAW just in time for the energy following Giving Tuesday.
What you'll hear:
- Sweet Retreat: the intermediate and advanced aerial hoop retreat I co-host with the great Jenny Tufts both have some spaces available, kicking off the last week of January and first week of February. Details and application here! 1:00
- On Creatrix, my retreat on Edisto Island, SC for those of you in the overlapping Venn diagram between artists/creators and the witchery inclined. 1:30
- I'll release this first to my Patrons in a couple of weeks, so if you KNOW you want in that's the place to be.
- After one week if there's room, I'll release it to the waitlist. I don't expect this to make it to the public, so if you're interested I'd recommend one of these courses of action.
