Do you practice aftercare when the party ends? Do you celebrate when the film wraps shooting, or the book edits are done? Do you let yourself grieve when post-project depression hits?

Dear artists, we must ritualize our artmaking process. We must wield our creative energy with intention. From survival mode to survivor mode: the narrative of our lives need aftercare.
