1:1 Application

THE CATALYST

Three months of weekly sessions, and an open thread between them, built around one real goal. I work with a limited number of people at a time because this work requires actual attention, so every engagement begins with an application. This takes about 8 minutes. I read every application myself and reply within 5 business days. —Erica

Which of these feels closest to where you are?

A PROJECT — I'm circling something I want to make, but it's still living in fragments: notes, screenshots, half-starts I haven't connected yet. (e.g. a residency or MFA application, a book or body of work, a business or brand)

A PRACTICE — I know what I want to deepen, but I keep losing the thread in the pull of everyday life. (e.g. a writing practice outside my 9–5, a studio practice, a spiritual or somatic practice)

A PASSAGE — I'm in the middle of something happening to me as much as chosen by me, and it hasn't fully metabolized yet. (e.g. a milestone, a transition, a loss)

A PIVOT — I'm standing at the edge of a change I'm choosing, without a clear sense yet of where it leads. (e.g. a new role or industry, a return to school, a new creative career or identity)
