YO….it’s been a crazy inspiring week, and I have two fantastic collaborations coming up that I’m hoping to see you at:
Sunday, Feb 12th at 7pm EST I will be a guest on CV Henriette’s Astro Talk live chat (Her IG:@art_of_the_zodiac)! Tune in as we chat about my pathway to the Orphic Hymns, what the poems teach us about each planet’s personality, and how the poems can help us deepen our relationship with the cosmos. It’s FREE! And we’ll also take questions from you all, ofc, so please come join the fun!
And…on Feb 18th at 2pm EST, it’s sexy time with the cosmos! Inspired by my essay “Modernity as Prophylaxis: A Queer Screed on being Penetrated by the World,” my good buddy (and queer astro icon) Drew Levanti invited me to guest teach a class for his Initiate course. The topic? Our erotic cosmos, of course!
In the two-hour class, we’ll learn more about how the Orphic Hymns offer us a new and ancient paradigm for interacting with the earth and starry sky—one that is based on erotic connection rather than dry and disconnected capitalist models of extraction. And how both total newbies to spirituality and folx with a deep existing practice can benefit from engaging with the cosmos through the lens of these beautiful poems. (For a full course description, check out the Eventbrite registration page using the link below.)
A bit about Drew, if you don’t already follow him. He’s an astrologer, writer, speaker and the creator of Initiate, a live online course and community exploring the aliveness of time and the everydayness of magic. You can learn more about his practice and offerings at archeastrology.com, and join his newsletter (archeastrology.com/newsletter) to find out about new releases and learning opportunities.

(If you can’t see it, it’s because you’re not a paid subscriber yet. There’s a link below to upgrade.)
I am SUPER EXCITED to see you at these events! I’ll send out reminders as we get close (not too many, don’t worry).
Please share this post with anyone you think might be interested…it helps fund my translation work and keeps those essays and
podcasts coming.
By the light of the stars,
Kristin
