🪑💥This month's FREE Ass in Chair Collective meetup—Mon, April 21st!🪑💥
Get the link below to get on the list!
This Monday, April 21st is our next Ass in Chair Collective Meetup that’s FREE and open to anyone to join!
If you want to get right to it and register for the meet-up, click below👇🏼
You can find all the details and links for the whole Spring slate of meetups HERE in this post.
This week’s meet-up was grounding and energizing as usual. Writers wrote zuihitsus and composed centos. One wrote a key scene she wasn’t planning to write. One writer is writing again for the first time in 9 months and making good progress on her memoir.
One writer said, “I started!” and we celebrated that with her, because whew, starting is often the hardest part.
Another writer said she was, “Mostly moving words around and banging my head.” And we could relate deeply to that, too.
Whether your time is triumphant or challenging or somewhere in between, it really does make it better to do it together.
Just the simple power of showing up for ourselves and each other and our work sparks something that carries us into our week every time.
Our next meetup on Monday, April 21st is open to anyone—free or paid subscribers or friends! So, send this to your friends who could use it, too!!
And, if you love it and want to come every week, you need to upgrade to a paid subscription to Be Where You Are OR The Long Pause.
Here’s the pitch: $5 a month (LESS if you choose a yearly subscription) gets you 4-5 hours of community time with the Ass in Chair Collective— a creative coffee shop, if you will— where we’ll cheer you on and support your creative life. You can try it and quit, you can use it for a season to help you through a specific project, or you can be a lifer and show up doggedly every week. We love it all.
We’re also hatching plans to build in celebrations of milestones and to invite special guest authors/artists/practitioners to share a prompt and do their creative work with us, too.
We’ll keep every third Monday of the month as an open Ass in Chair session, meaning anyone can sign up for free and the link will go out to all free and paid subscribers.
Join us in whatever way works for you, and remember: your work is valuable. It’s worth investing in.
You can register below for the FREE sessions scheduled in May and June👇🏼
If you’d like to join us for ALL the weekly sessions this month, you can register beyond the paywall in this post if you upgrade your subscription.
Once you’re registered, you’ll get a confirmation e-mail with the link, AND you can expect an e-mail from Emily each week about an hour before the meetup with the link so you don’t have to dig for it.
Reply to this email with any questions. Hope to see you there!
Can’t wait to kick off our week together 🙌🏽💥
