Today's another installment of our community constellation conversations, and what a rich one it is indeed. In this #odetteloveletter, I'm joined by Joyell of Writer in the Tub, an artist, midwife, and writer dedicated to crafting containers and ritual for creativity in connection with water. We talk process, intention, and inspiration, and Joyell shares about her thinking behind the Sojourn Journals, created in collaboration for Joyell at the Odette Press studio. 

We've also got some exciting events happening this weekend (and every weekend until the end of the year!) so listen through. Folks in DC, Baltimore, and NY especially, this one's for you.
