SINGING OVER THE BONES: 4 sundays of online ritual-gathering

starting 1/26/25 - 12pm to 2:30pm eastern time

hallo friends— i usually don’t use a full-on post to ~blast out~ something i’m doing over the substack-airwaves but this morning i felt the nudge.

i'm being called to hold online space on 4 successive sundays starting 1/26 (so, 1/26, 2/2, 2/9, and 2/16) for a ritual practice / series of gatherings that wants to be Lived: singing over the bones. each sunday will occur for 2.5 hours, 12pm to 2:30pm eastern time. (here is a nifty time converter i like to use.)

thanks to the online monthly story-home i was able to make on sharon blackie’s {now-closed} mythic imagination network throughout 2022 and most of 2023 (thank you Forever, sharon! <3), since fall 2023 i’ve been holding continual space for co-created mythic gatherings, online. they have shifted and changed form, yet always— opportunities to share, be witnessed, feel, Listen, journey, reflect, immerse in the old stories/imaginal and be part of a (real) international community. obviously, I Know, ‘in person, in person.’ but/and, what has been created in and throughout these gatherings are not purely because of the miracles of technology— it is because of the imaginal heart-light/heart-sight space. it is because of how energy travels ~Entirely Irregardless~ of time and space or ‘distance’— directly, from heart to heart. from energetic body to energetic body. Felt, Seen, Real, Experienced.

amongst the utterly-fucking-heart-rending current goings-on of our world, this is what i am called to Continue to do— ground and weave, shepherd and be of service, to This Web of the new-old ways coming to vibrant life thanks to the community and companionship of all of you.

SINGING OVER THE BONES. is obviously a line from the beginnings of my journey— from the old story of la loba, as told by clarissa pinkola estés in ‘women who run with the wolves.’ it has crystallized in me that due to the transpirings of my life since solstice, and the aforementioned goings-on of our world, that *i* need this ritual container— purposely, and sometimes more desperately. that *i* need this time. that i need to be Re-Membered— consciously, intentionally, by the old stories, by the imaginal, by the earth. by that which has saved my life, over and over again. especially when i am feeling frail, and scared, and not-vital— i Need this. to Re-Member that i have Chosen to be here, in this body, with this heart, in this shape, with this history, and At This Time— to give my gifts and sing my songs.

and i would like to do this Within and With community.

what will this entail?

~ storytelling and stories

~ imaginal experiencing / journeying

~ embodiment in ways that are accessible to you

~ listening and witnessing

~ being in community, in whatever way you are able (including if you feel really shy or overwhelmed or don’t like to speak in front of groups of strangers)

~ getting the f*** out of the way of what wants to happen for each of us, and collectively, in a strongly held ritual container :)

this is not a ~workshop or a course.~ it is real people coming together in a new-old way.

come for 1, come for all, come for a few.

they will build in intentionality, carry the common thematic of singing ourselves back to life, and will be colored by what is present in the group.

whatever happens— it is a current of energy that is Going To Exist for these 4 weeks, and you can step into it, or not. <3

this energy is going to consciously be worked with, individually and collectively.

**

how to be a part of it:

each session is $20 USD; RSVP in advance for what you want to attend, or one by one as the weeks go by.

i am purposely super lo-fi at this moment— so please say hallo and send me an email [on my website here]; i’ll send the payment details and answer any questions you may have.

and as ever— let me know if funds are a stoppage-point because we’ll work to find a way that honors us both.

**

life is Real, folks.

and that's why we need each other.

i look forward to Seeing you and Re-Membering ourselves.

<3 <3

with love, in love, for love—

audrey.

hallo to new subscribers + old. // a reminder that you can read more about my storytelling gatherings, talks (like ‘mythic mental health’ and ‘the urban mythic’), unique 1-on-1 ‘legend sessions,’ and storywork HERE. thank you for wanting to share this journey of ‘the Angel; for wrestling’ with me. it’s very improvisational so there is no ‘set posting schedule’ or regularity at this time; i usually do one online international story-gathering a month and am open to connecting with new journeyers/clients. i appreciate your Presence whether or not you like/comment. <3 writing and imagining are how i learned how to Stay Alive from a young age, so being Witnessed in my Truth and my raw processes is doubly a gift. Thank You.~
