Re-Emergence is Nigh…
Live gatherings are returning. Are you ready for re-emergence? Have you gotten so used to your cocoon that you’ve forgotten how to socialize? Or are you jumping out of your skin, ready to hit the streets and hug everyone, and join in a circlesong? I look forward to bringing us together in person soon! Stay tuned for announcements, and be sure to keep lushtongue@gmail.com on your safelist so that you receive the newsletter in your inbox.
Thanks for your support!
