Find Your Word of the Year workshop this Friday + gifts for you! 🎁
The Visioning Workbook is here!
Hello loves,
I’m sharing a letter I sent out on Monday to my Studio Notes/updates peeps {you might have seen it!} because I want to share these gifts and invitations with you, too! Putting the Visioning Workbook together each year is one of my greatest joys. I use this year-end reflection workbook every year as part of my end of the year rituals — it helps me close out the year and prepare for the new year in a mindful, calm manner that I truly cherish.
I hope you enjoy the workbook and the other invitations below.
I’m also co-hosting a Find Your Word of the Year workshop with
this Friday {details below}, so if you’d like to work through some of the prompts from the Visioning Workbook together, and get some ideas and inspiration on the word of the year practice, do join us! It’s our gift to you 💚Studio Diaries is a free weekly newsletter exploring art and creative living. Sign up to receive notes on the creative life, a monthly sketchbook/creative prompt, as well as short process videos and pages from my art journals.
I'm sitting in front of my laptop, the heater chugging along beside me, cupping a steaming mug of black coffee between my hands. Though the sun shines warmly outside, my studio is freezing.
It's a blessing in the searing heat of Delhi summers, but in the winter months, it becomes a curse.
Still, I spend most part of my days in here, with the heater chugging merrily away, wrapped up in layers as I write or paint, journal or sling some cards.
This is also where I will snuggle up around the Winter Solstice, with some soft music, a pot of coffee, the fireplace roaring on Netflix, and a printed copy of the Visioning Workbook, as I reflect on the highs and lows, the lessons and challenges that 2024 brought my way; and heartstorm my way into the new year: finding my word for 2025, pulling some cards for my annual tarot reading, and making some gentle plans to carry me into the new year.
And now, it's time for me to put on my Santa hat, because I come bearing a bunch of gifts and invitations for you, including the Visioning workbook, a free workshop, a reading challenge, and more! xx
The Visioning workbook is here!

Calling all book lovers!
I'm running the Book Bingo challenge for the sixth consecutive year! This reader favorite challenge is a simple, fun way to read more widely next year. Some prompts may stretch you somewhat, while others can offer an escape from everyday life, and some prompts are somewhat open to interpretation and genres.
All of the prompts + details are on my website — I do hope some of you will join in! If you do, drop me a comment on the post letting me know you're in, or simply reply to this email! 🙂
Click on the image above for more information on the challenge and to download the prompt card.
Do invite your book loving friends to join in on the fun too. Here's the link to the challenge once again - the more the merrier, right?
Gather the witches!
Moonshine 2025 is open for registration!
I’ve been part of this program, taught by Effy Wild, since its inception 7 years ago, and it’s one of my most enduring spiritual practices.
Moonshine is a year long journey into the realm of moon-based art witchery in all its glorious forms that's part virtual coven, part group coaching, part empowerment community, and part mixed media art adventure.
Moonshine is a village. It’s a virtual clearing in the woods where we stoke up the fire and share the tea. It’s a festival wrapped in an academy. Any surprise, then, that some of the art witches, including me, have been in the program since its inception in this format seven years ago? It’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before — I promise!
And I have the sneaky suspicion that we are going to need this kind of brave and empowering space over the course of the coming year, for reasons that I suspect we all know and understand.
If this sounds intriguing, or like something you need at this time, come on over and join us in our clearing in the woods. There's place for you here!
Get directions to our village!
The best part? Effy is committed to making this as accessible as possible, and has slashed the price by half this year, from $360 to $180! A payment plan is also available.
If you’ve previously heard about Moonshine but been on the fence about joining the art witches, or if the pricing has held you back, this is your sign to jump on in — I doubt that it will ever be offered at this price again.
I hope to see you in our little coven!
