I originally envisioned this as a “launch party” but in writing this post I’ve realized it can really be a micro retreat for parents. Invite a friend and use this as a reason to make some time for yourself this weekend.
Our micro retreat will be September 28th at 1pm CST.
Click here to save the date via Zoom.
Alternate timelines are listed below. (If you don’t see yours you can use this website or app.)
Guests will be off camera so make yourself comfortable. Contributors will have the option to jump on camera at the end. I’m allowing 1-2 hours for the retreat, but you’re free to drop in and out if you can’t stay the whole time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to archive the video so do try to join live if you can.
We only need 20 more preorders to cover costs for this passion project.
Haven’t preordered yet? You can support the project here.
If we exceed our funding goals we will be donating a percentage of the proceeds with Postpartum Matters CIC.
In case you missed it!
Alongside the anthology we are also publishing Ember: An Art Journal for Mothers.
Cover art was literally made with FIRE. Here’s a peek at artist Annie King at work.
Here’s a peek at how it will look inside!
Interior art from
& Emily Jalinsky. Featured prompts by & Kayla Huszar. (You can share these pages on Instagram or Substack Notes.)I don’t usually email twice in one week, but I’ll reach out again on Saturday with a reminder.
Here is the invite link, but I’ll send it again on Saturday morning.
Hope to see you there!
P.S. Normal compost heap updates on pause as I pour energy into the final week of Entwined. I may also disappear in early October to reset. 🍂
