Crave a deeper connection to Soul? Need to ignite long-banked fires of creativity or reignite the flames of inspiration? Yearn to discover your life purpose and unleash it upon a welcoming world? Feel the need to infuse community with a potent sense of communion?

I, too, am on that journey.

To that end I'm putting together a series of e-courses, wherein a group of us sojourners (soul + journey = sojourn) can explore these topics on our quest for passion and presence in a wildly contrasting world.

Regardless of where in the world we are, no matter what we think we're doing with commitments, career, relationships, family, creativity and community, we're all somewhere on the soulful path. I like to think of this path as a wheel, a spiral: sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, but always and ever expanding.

No matter where on the wheel we are, we are all taking steps toward our ever-evolving, utterly magnificent self. Let's take some steps together.

These courses are intended to represent a wheel, a circle, ever-turning, ever-deepening. While some will respond more to one course than another, hopping on the wheel at one point, and hopping off and back on at another, a select group of sojourners will travel the entire path together. I expect this to be a deeply moving, life-changing journey for those of us who do so.

Details:

What You Need:

A computer with internet access
A sojourner's spirit
A hunger to learn, a desire to share
A gentle, but persistent commitment to your soul growth

What's Included:

*Six hours of class teaching per course, offered weekly via exclusive
classroom webpage
*Weekly Q & A, sharing, via chatroom
*One hour private consultation, per course, by phone or video chat
*Resource materials, including articles, links, poems and recommended reading book lists
*One free book per course+
*A gift from Angi

How it Works:

We'll have a private webpage accessible only by the sojourners. Video classes will be posted there, as will chat schedules and resource materials. Question and answer sessions will take place in a private chat room. We hope to provide a private, online sharing space as well, so sojourners can meet each other, share their work and reflections (on a voluntary basis), learn and grow with one another, for we believe in the maxim:

Relationship to self is essential. Relationship to "other" is exponential.

Cost:

275.00 per course, 995.00 for the entire wheel, all four courses

Payable by visa/mc and paypal. Installment plans available.

+Each course will delve into a book personally selected by Angi. It will serve as our "muse" for the course, and will feature prominently in discussion topics, writing exercises and visceral journey-explorations. Each course features a different book, for a total of four books in the entire wheel. These books are our gift to you.

Questions? Comments? Curiosities? We've set up a new section in our forum specifically to address the Message from the Muse e-courses. You can meet your guide, meet each other, pose questions, post comments, share ideas and inspirations.

There is a new mailing list set up here, for those of you who would like new information about Angi's workshops, journeys and e-courses.

To sign up for the new mailing list look at the upper right corner after nigning in to our site. Here is a screenshot that shows where you can sign up:

It's official. We spent Halloween in our studio, pushing toward the final stretch of publishers' deadlines. Although I'd have much preferred a concert or costume party, or even a date with Silas to the only movie theater in town to watch Where the Wild Things Are, I suppose it is somehow befitting that we work on deadlines on All Souls Eve.

I did, however, console myself with a White Russian, though I'm sad to report it had nothing whatsoever to do with Mikael Baryshnikov.

Since we're getting closer to those wicked deadlines, I thought I'd share some tidbits of what we're working on. I'll be filtering those sneak peeks in during the week.

Today's juicy bits come from the Creative Visualization calendar we've been asked to create for Amber Lotus Publishing. Using the words of Shakti Gawain, we've created twelve images featuring positive affirmations for creating a delightful life.

Here's a few of them to chew on!

Tis official. The 2010 Pixiekin calendar is here and available!

Once again, we've teamed up with Paulina Cassidy to create a scrumptious feast of pixies, fairies and critters from the quirky land of Pixiekin.

Silas and I created the design, and from cover to cover the result, if I do say so myself, is fetching. And I'm not just whistlin' Dixie. The Pixiekin calendar remains one of the best-selling fairy calendars on the market. Why? Cuz it's NUMS!

Where else can you find this much delicious imagery for under 15.00? That's less than the cost of a print and you get FIFTEEN of them! And speaking of incredible buys, we also created the Guardian, Knock at the Door, and Living out Loud calendars.
