i thank you in advance for your care in embarking further on the resonance that led you to this page, it's an honor to begin to know you through your word as i share a piece of me with you through mine.

seasons come & go; what if we shift with them too? writing in ritual with L (writuaL) is designed to cultivate answers to questions that are coming up in our lives, using the knowledge we each have deep within. Seasoning Seasons is an invitation to gather with others to practice rituals around writing & storytelling that will help us in transitioning through seasons with purpose & intentionality. 🌞🍂❄️🌱

what are the tools we might need for the upcoming season? what did we harvest in the prior season & did it ripen well? how can we develop an understanding of ourselves, in relation to principles of nature, to guide our realities? 

we’ll explore different areas of interest through writing, from writing warm-ups with music & astrological tidbits to short scientific clips about the layers of the sun. you’ll have the option to return to old writing from previous seasons of your life & generate new work guided by prompts from L. there will also be opportunities to share your writing & musings aloud with other souls & hear what they pour out, too. 

as we beam alongside nature’s rays this season, let us remember, document, & tell our stories using the abundance of our spiritual seasoning cabinets to cultivate writing lives that are more in tune with the Earth. asé.

a heads up that this decolonized google form may require your time/energy/presence as would writing in ritual with L (between 10-30 mins), proceed when your capacity best serves you to do so fully— within the context that:  

1. ☼ writuaL ☽: summer seasoning seasons will launch the first week of june & occur weekly at 2 hour intervals, at several times, for the duration of the month of june.
2. although attending all 4 weekly sessions is encouraged for an optimal communal experience, you can also select specific sessions that resonate based on your schedule & personal journey.
   
3. if solely interested in a one off workshop, you're welcome to opt to be in practice at a 2 hour interval the week of summer solstice (6/17-6/21)!
   
4. L will be reaching out on a rolling basis beginning saturday june 1st confirming logistics & requesting confirmation of participation.
   
5. all sessions will be held virtually via zoom in est/open globally but a nyc based event is being curated for the month of july, more to come as developments unfold!
6. ☼ writuaL ☽: seasoning seasons  is intended to be a stabilized recurring ritualistic project with fall, & winter cycles to follow, discern what season you're in in your ability to show up to practice this summer.

sending you grace as you all wind-up and enter this period of transition. please, please, please know that no previous explicit writing or ritual experience is required and all writing styles & forms are welcomed & celebrated. if you write, you are a w r i t e r. if you are breathing, you are in r i t u a l. responses to this form are solely intended to gauge if our visions and capacities best align and how we may best connect further, there are NO WRONG ANSWERS OR QUESTIONS HERE but reading will be fundamentalll frend.

suggested financially sustaining offerings on a sliding scale for facilitator are detailed within form. though if communicated there is absolutely opportunity to participate at further discounted rates, free of financial burden, or on energetic currency/trade swapping, particularly for black writers & qtpoc comrades, talk to me! 

if any pressing concerns or inquiries arise know that you may land them with me, L, at letterLthebrand@gmail.com, where i will reply when i can with care.
