You do not have to be familiar with notion before this class, although if you want a very basic tutorial, look here.
We will gather and go through a series of list making activities and writing prompts.
A lot of this class is a lecture style where I will present my own methods for organizing research as well as open it up to the group to respond with their own methods.
We will have an opportunity to share with each other, be together, and find ways to integrate our values with our writing and our output.
There will be a 5 min break in the middle of class and you are welcome to take breaks at any time.
🌼 You signed up for Mailchimp or Substack but hitting send is absolutely terrifying so you never do
🌼 You're pretty sure you have nothing to say or everything you have to say is stupid
🌼 You already have a newsletter or book idea but you wan't to become a better and clearer writer
🌼 You want to streamline the process of gathering ideas and and generating creative output
Accountability is a way to expand our devotion and commitments: consider sharing the link to class with a friend to join you.
Since 2013 I have been using the World Wide Web to share my ideas, art, and writing in newsletter format to thousands of readers. In 2017 I began doing this weekly and found that it transformed my writing, my connection to people, and my relationship to the world around me. I have created many different containers for my work that all integrate with my paths of research and exploration.
I have had podcasts, radio shows, advice columns, and more - a variety of containers to share my notes on listening, paying attention, and practice with the world I find more CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE, DEVOTION, AND SATISFACTION when my art practice is deeply rooted in research and experimentation.
YOU CAN READ MY NEWSLETTER HERE IF YOU WANT TO GET THE FEEL!
Again, this class is about deepening your relationship with synthesizing your notes, research, and interests into a container for public sharing. I find that when I am in this deep state of focus and reach people who are interested in my work - I do earn more money. And sometimes I do not and it is a total flop.
You do not need to have a business, an art practice, or even any idea what you want to write and talk about in order to take this class. And you DEFINITELY do not need to identify as a writer or artist or have a desire to write a lengthy newsletter. This will support you in having more clarity in how you talk about your work and bring it into a new light.
Here is the deal: This class is about how we take what we see, feel, think, and experience in the world and translating it into material for humans to publicly interact with.
You absolutely do not need to turn it into a newsletter. ALTHOUGH a newsletter / email list (no one can take away your email list!) will certainly help you reach more people to talk about your podcast or other project!

ZOOM ROOM
What this means is you'll have to take what you like and leave the rest! Not everything will work for every person, this container will, however, empower you to have the information to mold and fit to your specific needs and desires.
It will also help you determine the difference between when you are just beating yourself up for not "doing something you said you would do - and shifting into a space of awe and devotion.
This part might activate you - that's good: may the pushing back guide you closer to yourself. See you there!
A final note on the energy of the Zoom room:
This could be a small group, it could be a huge group, your ex might be there or your old neighbor. The mystery of digital spaces will invite us into our beautiful boundaries. Honor your physical and emotional needs and shift them throughout sessions : camera on / camera off. Participate in the chat exercises or don't. Face your camera to show us a plant the whole time. This is your experience!
Many Blessings - Cody
