Well... I have good news and bad news. The bad news: Today's Meet & Greet is cancelled. The good news: It's because I'm deep in planning meetings today for our next in-person event in London. After our epic sold-out Summer Solstice gathering in June, we're already hard at work creating the next experience, and trust me, it's shaping up to be something special. 👀 Curious? Drop your questions below! If you're in or around London this August, let me know. I'd love to see some Arcana & Insight members there, and I'll happily send you a free ticket if you're interested. I'll be back next Friday to connect with everyone live, answer questions, and catch up with our growing community. As a small consolation prize...I have pulled three Tarot cards for the community. Look at the cards and notice which one calls to you first. 👇 Comment 1, 2, or 3 below. Over the next few days, I'll reveal the cards and share the messages they hold for those who chose them. 🃏 Drop your number below, and let's see where the Tarot takes you.

The poet Toi Derricotte begins her poem from "The Telly Cycle" with the line: "Joy is an act of resistance." In the poem, Derricotte writes about her fish, Telly. She places a postcard-sized painting behind his bowl, wondering whether he notices the beauty she has arranged for him. What follows is a tender meditation on wonder, connection, loss, and the tiny moments that make a life feel meaningful. (Curious? You can read the complete poem here.) Joy is an act of resistance. I find myself thinking about that line a lot lately. In a world overflowing with politics, productivity hacks, algorithms, breaking news, and endless notifications, I've become increasingly interested in finding small pockets of joy. Tiny acts of connection. Unexpected moments of humanity. Which brings me to @Joseph Isosaki. A few weeks ago, Joseph posted something on Skool that may go down as one of the most important contributions to modern civilization: GIF WARS. The instructions were simple: "... only GIFS ... this is the best use of your time right now! ... a loving reminder to keep Skool fun!" Below the post was a GIF of Napoleon Dynamite getting slapped. I immediately felt called and responded with a GIF of Bruce Lee looking impossibly cool, accompanied by a comment about "an outrageous misuse of productivity." Unfortunately, I didn't fully understand the assignment. GIFs only. No commentary. Joseph immediately countered with a cartoon character aggressively shushing me, which made me laugh out loud. Unfortunately for Joseph, my partner and I had recently rewatched all three Austin Powers films, and suddenly all I could hear was Dr. Evil screaming, "Zip it!" from the depths of my delightfully distracted brain. And so began a completely unnecessary, deeply important, and wildly entertaining GIF battle, fueled largely by Austin Powers and his wonderfully ridiculous cast of characters.

One of my favourite things about Skool? You meet someone, have a conversation, get curious about what they do... and before you know it, you're creating a collaboration together. 😄 That's exactly what happened with @Danielle Freeman. On Monday, July 20, at 20:30 UK time, Danielle (along with some members of her community) will be joining us to talk about Emotion Code Healing, answer questions, and explore how Tarot might complement and support this fascinating modality. And trust me, I have questions. Lots of questions. 🔮 What exactly is Emotion Code? 🃏 How does it work alongside Tarot? 💜 How can these modalities support healing, insight, and personal growth? If you're curious too, come join us for what promises to be a fun, interactive, and engaging conversation. 👉 https://www.skool.com/live/4jGnWGVRfp7 And honestly, this is just the beginning. One of my goals for Arcana & Insight is to bring together interesting people, ideas, and communities from across Skool. So expect more collaborations, guest conversations, and opportunities to learn from one another in the months ahead. If you run a Skool community and think our tribes might enjoy connecting, sharing knowledge, or collaborating, I would LOVE to chat. I'm especially looking at some of you wonderful humans who have been connecting and engaging recently, including @Jennie Sikes, @Chris Earl , @Christine Galione , and @Olga Stroy .👀 We have so much to learn from one another!
