For over a year, my website has quietly said the same two words. Coming soon.
I am finally able to tell you what it was, and to invite you in before it begins.
Between Battles is a letter sent via e-mail and a podcast for anyone living through something hard, a body that fights them, a grief that lingers, a long fatigue, a fear about what comes next. It is not advice. It is not relentless positivity. It is a fire to sit at, once a month, on the new moon, where for the length of one letter you do not have to be productive. Just a warm place, and the company of someone who has been where you are.
The first issue is almost ready. And I want you there for it.
If this sounds like something you have been needing, here is how to join us at the fire before the first letter goes out:
Come to emberosis.com and become a free member. You will receive, right away, a keepsake copy of the Emberosis Manifesto, the short book that holds the whole philosophy behind all of this, the idea of the banked fire and what it means to keep going when you cannot burn brightly. It is yours to keep, free, simply for joining. And you will be on the list for the very first issue of Between Battles when the new moon comes.
If you want to go further, paid members also receive a digital Dream Alchemy journal, discounts in the shop, and other perks, and you help keep this whole fire burning, which I do not take lightly, especially now.
I have been carrying this for a long time, through more than I have said. I would love for you to be there when it finally begins.
The moon is going dark soon. The fire is almost lit. Come sit with us.
