Hello and welcome!

I’m excited to start sharing with you all this way. We’re entering my favorite month, Kislev/December, which happens to be my favorite for two main reasons. One, it’s the mystical month of dreams according to several Jewish teachings & traditions. And two, it’s my birthday month. I’m turning 34 this year.

I tend to be very camera shy these days and therefore have very few photos of me as I am now. This is an attempt to have at least 1 photo of me when I send out these newsletters. The above photo was taken recently at Star Lounge after a looooong walk in Humboldt Park with my sweet friend Alexa. Thanks for archiving this moment for us. The other photo was taken by my sweet mama on my 7th birthday.

For 3 years now, probably more if I was truly tracking it, I’ve found this time of year to be a big time of announcements and sharing what I’ve been up to. Things culminate up until this point and I use the dreamy energy of the month to trust my visions, my creations, my gifts, my offerings, my dreams — that they are all divine and right on time.

2 years ago I released these Dream Journals
Last year I launched Dreamwork Towards Freedom
This year I’m sharing everything in this newsletter + the announcement that 12ish other projects are in the making! They are a combination of visual art pieces, facilitation offerings, collaborative projects, and hopefully some performance/embodied workshops & shows. The goal is to share glimpses of those in 2025.

This is the 1st time I’m selling originals of my artwork and you all are the first to hear about it. I hope you enjoy this collection of art & storytelling.

With gratitude & love,

Maya
