It’s really happening! We pushed the publish button.
This Wednesday and Thursday, August 16–17
The Art of Ensoulment: A Playbook on How to Create From Body & Soul
emerges first as a super affordable 2.99 e-book.
Woo-hoo! You know you want this super handy, rich resource on body and soul whether you've taken my workshops, plan to join an Art of Ensoulment Course, are just curious about the contents, prefer paperless media, or love me for no good reason.
I’d love for you to give the Playbook its golden welcome by buying your own e-book this Wednesday or Thursday for 2.99. After that, the digital version goes up to 9.99. The main reason for the sale is that when bunches of us buy the e-version these first two days, Amazon notices and shares it alongside similar books and authors.
The timing couldn't be more perfect. Wednesday is a New Moon, a perfect time for begginings. The skies are full of shooting stars. The Parliament of World Religions in Chicago is in full swing. The image on the front cover resulted from a prayer I made as I lead at the Parliament. If that weren’t enough I’ve been told Wednesday is a good day to cast a creative spell.
Of course, you’ll also want the print version of this gloriously artful, magical book starting Friday. I can't wait for you to feel the smooth gold skin of The Art of Ensoulment in your hands, to see the full-color inspiration, and taste the topsy-turvy soul food that people tell me they need. Marla Durden's visionary design (THANK YOU, MARLA!) brings us a creative journal, a fun guidebook to share with companions, and a reference text to accompany my Art of Ensoulment Courses. All of it rises from what I gleaned and was given while co-creating InterPlay. So much juicy soul stuff arose over years of creative teaching.
The cost: The self-published playbook is $45.00–pricey as books go. Why so expensive? The playbook is art. It's not mass-produced. It covers a LOTTA ground. One can play with the book’s 12 initiations for years. I do. The pages carry many of my workshop designs, all distilled and rolled up into this sensual soul map. I am grateful that my friends and colleagues have their eyes, hands, and heart in and around it, and have endorsed and given it their blessings.
The playbook is not for everybody. I don't expect it to make the news, although I’m delighted to be getting podcast invitations. The playbook is a pioneering, prophetic offering. If the playbook is for you, know that an exciting possibility is that some who take my course and want to share from the book can join a circle of Ensoulment Coaches who I support to share from the book with their own spirited, creative communities.
I’m excited and pleased. This is an All-Play moment. I hope you’ll join the fun this Wednesday and Thursday. I’ll send reminders and a link to buy the ebook on those days. If you like share the news with a friend who might be interested.
Much love, Cynthia
P.S. Here I am with Brenda Vaca from LA. I took her retreat this weekend and love the poetry from her book, A Riot of Roses. How perfect to have The Art of Ensoulment Playbook blessed by a loving retreat circle of poets and spiritual teachers.
I'm always up for a party! Celebrating for you and the Playbook is the icing on the cake! Congratulations, Cynthia!
Yeah! Ya-hoo! Wowie! I'm looking forward to getting mine and enriching my life with your wisdom. Thank you for this offering! CONGRATULATIONS
