FAQ

  • What exactly is the Artist Almanac?

    The Artist Almanac is a creative practice guided by the moon. Each lunation brings a single, focused exercise designed to support artistic attention, reflection, and continuity over time. In addition, each month arrives with a newly inspired ritual, spell, practice, or prompt, timed to the celestial landmarks and subtle shifts of the natural world. Nothing recycled and nothing generic, just a considered moment of orientation designed to meet you where you are.

  • How do I receive the exercises?

    I will send email reminders, and you can bookmark the Thinkific course page to return to at any time.

  • Is this a live class or a calendar subscription?

    The Artist Almanac is not a live class and not an automated calendar feed. It is a deliberate, self-paced practice designed to be entered consciously rather than managed digitally.

  • Do I need to keep up in real time?

    The Artist Almanac is designed to be practiced in step with the current moon. Each exercise arrives with a specific lunation and is meant to be entered as it unfolds. While the archive remains available, the practice itself is oriented toward presence and seasonal attention rather than accumulation or catching up.

  • Is this astrology?

    While the Artist Almanac is guided by lunar cycles, it does not involve personal astrology or horoscopes. No birth data is required, and no prior astrological knowledge is expected.

  • How much time does each exercise take?

    The core lunar exercises take about 20 minutes. Once a month, a longer ritual is offered that requires approximately 90 minutes, including preparation and closing.

  • Is this a spiritual practice?

    The Artist Almanac approaches time and creativity with reverence. It draws quietly from traditions of witchcraft as a way of orienting attention, but it is not a religious or doctrinal system. It is a reflective, creative practice grounded in observation, making, and presence.

  • Do I have to participate in the WhatsApp group?

    Participation in the WhatsApp space is optional. It is offered as a place for light witnessing and shared presence, recognizing that artists benefit from being held in community even when they work independently. I will be present in the space to answer questions and offer additional prompts to support creative and ritual work. There is no discussion requirement or expectation of participation.

  • Who is this for?

    The Artist Almanac is for artists, writers, and creative thinkers who want their work to unfold at a human pace. It is for people who value slowness, continuity, and depth, and who are drawn to presence rather than productivity tools.

  • Who is this not for?

    This may not be a good fit if you are looking for daily prompts, automated reminders, or tightly structured assignments. The Artist Almanac is intentionally low-pressure and designed to support nervous system regulation rather than urgency or output. It asks for presence, patience, and a willingness to work with time as it unfolds.

  • What do I need to participate?

    A notebook or sketchbook, something to write with, and a willingness to spend time with a single question or exercise.

  • How long do I have access?

    You will have access to the Thinkific archive for the duration of your subscription.

The Artist Almanac unfolds in rhythm with your calendar and the arc of the sun and moon. Once you’ve signed in, I’ll personally add you to the private Artist Almanac calendar.
