Next Page: Community Newsletter Guidelines
Hello there fam! Welcome to the very first Cosmic Healing Community Newsletter <3 As y’all hopefully know, a vital part of our mission at Cosmic Healing is to create and sustain community. We want to provide for and rely on members of our community in mutually beneficial and non-extractive collaboration.
Community is not only a part of our mission; it’s a core value of Cosmic Healing, and this newsletter is an effort to continue growing and cultivating community. This is a space for CH Fam to share their thoughts, crafts, and needs. We want people in the CH community to experience more than their amazing one-on-one sessions with kay; we want y’all to know each other. We want to create connections that allow all of us to feel more secure in this world, while we navigate The Worst Timeline together.
The newsletter is primarily organized and written by Erica Joy, but Cosmic Healing is a two-sista community practice with kay, darling providing the astro-based counseling sessions that started it all.
🪴are you wanting to move, and you want to know where friends are living? just moved and need help with (un)packing? Reach out and we’ll put it in the newsletter! 🪴do you wanna know if fam is in your area so you can meet up? Let us know and we’ll shout ya out in the newsletter! 🪴have a piece of writing, art, rant, reflection, or other media you would like to share? guess what…we’ll showcase your brilliance in the newsletter! 🪴know of an offering that sounds like it’s in alignment with the vibe of cosmic healing? well I guess it needs to be shared with the rest of the community 🤷🏾♀️
You can think of it as a virtual bulletin board in a local coffee shop and the open mic they host every two weeks.

ERICA JOY (she/her + they/them)
taurus sun with an aries rising and aries moon
I am a fat, Black queer person who’s really just out here tryna learn who I am, especially as a bb aries rising. As a recent Bachelor’s of Social Work grad (c/o ‘21) who found (way too much?) identity through leadership roles on my college campus, astrology and tarot have been ways to figure out who I am outside of being a good leader.
In true Taurus fashion, I am determined to prioritize rest and bask what makes me happy. Right now, that looks like reading cute comics, making semi-elaborate meals, watercoloring bright blobs, learning Brazilian Portuguese, and watching The Real Housewives.
I organize community spaces for the CH Fam. Cosmic Healing is a community endeavor, and as such, there needs to be opportunities to meet and support one another. I plan + lead group conversations, mindfulness sessions, and this very newsletter. I’m also sometimes the person you’ll hear from before and after sessions with kay, ensuring that you understand the different session options, confirming appointment times, and supporting in all ways I can.
KAY (kay/she/they)

sagittarius rising, leo sun, virgo moon
hey i’m kay (for now and trial-ing lala too 😚)
all about: fugitivity, resting, loving my loved ones as best i can, reading books by Black women, intentional communication, community building, warm winds, sunshine, sharing spliffs
i’m a writer + poet. have been p much since i became literate, and i’m currently freelancing essays, writing a newsletter of my own, sag, rising, and working on my first novel
i’m a nomad until i’m not, living by the lessons my chronic illness taught me, critically anti-capitalist, dedicated to integrity, authenticity, clarity and Black people 🤎
after realizing all institutions are hell, i fell in love with the stars
i’ve been an astrology enthusiast since 2014, studying (tropical) in great depth since 2018
and now the planets and the zodiac and the cycles—the revolutions!—are the primary lens through which i live my life. I provide astrological counseling to my community. i’m not looking to just explain you to you in my readings. astrology is not a parlor trick, but a compassionate language, an elucidation of the vibes, a big picture analysis of patterns affecting you, options available to you, energies hitting you, the people around you, and everyone collectively. my astro is revolutionary in that i bring my values to my readings, and i seek to connect you with your soul purpose and somatic peace. capitalism and other systems of oppression have no interest in either one, and the stars can assist in guidance outside of these violent societal failures.
