◉ OPEN STUDIO | Winter Solstice | Designing your season

You're invited (free) → seasonal design workshop this Sunday

Hey there,

Quick note as we approach the winter solstice this Sunday (Dec 21st).

I’m hosting a 90-minute live workshop where we’ll harvest fall and design winter together—using the seasonal design practice I’ve been refining over the past few years.

As a paid subscriber, you’re invited to join for free (details below).

What is seasonal design?

A few weeks back, I wrote about rhythm over to-do lists—how designing your time in nested containers (daily → weekly → seasonal → annual) lets you actually access deep work instead of staying scattered.

This workshop is the macro layer of that practice.

Instead of trying to hold fourteen priorities simultaneously across multiple seasons, you sequence them: this priority this season, that priority next season.

It’s how I’ve been organizing my creative life for the past few years—not around arbitrary quarterly goals, but around Earth’s actual rhythms. Solstice to solstice. Equinox to equinox.

The solstice is a natural threshold. A time to pause, look at what’s complete, and feel into what wants to emerge next.

What we’ll do together (Dec 21st, 2 - 3:30pm Pacific)

Part 1: Harvest Fall
What’s complete? What wants to close? What are you celebrating? What are you releasing?

Part 2: Design Winter
You’ll craft your own seasonal document: your core intentions and areas of focus for the season, your protected rhythm, practices that support the work, what you’re saying no to.

I’ll share the exact AI prompt I use to synthesize my voice notes into seasonal design docs (so you can use it for every season going forward). And I’ll offer real-time feedback as you shape your winter container.

What you’ll leave with:

• Your winter seasonal design document (Dec 21 - Mar 20)

• The AI prompt and template for future seasons

• A peer group of people holding their creative containers with you
