Without further ado—Welcome to our 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.

In this season’s newsletter, we have a collage made by Savann, a callout from Sunyata to interview someone for research on love inequalities, an urgent mutual aid ask from Kaydx, some resources for virtual community gatherings, and more!

This seasonal newsletter is an opportunity for the Cosmic Healing Fam to stay in touch, show up for each other, and share their art/ideas/endeavors

🐞 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! 🐞 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! 🐞 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 month.

taurus sun with an aries rising and aries moon

I am a Black, fat queer person who is ever growing.

In true Taurus fashion, I am determined to prioritize rest and bask in what makes me happy. Right now, that looks like reading cute comics, making semi-elaborate meals, watching the birds in the tree outside my window, singing + dancing in the kitchen, and debriefing reality tv with friends.

Cosmic Healing is a community endeavor, and as such, there needs to be opportunities to meet and support one another, so I organize community spaces for the CH Fam. I plan + lead virtual group conversations, multi-week group programs, and this very community newsletter that brings together thoughts and requests from our CH fam.

I also support the community one-on-one through peer support sessions. After seeing the way social work can perpetuate the oppressive structures we live under, I realized the importance of approaching this work in my own way with my values of liberation and care at the forefront. These peer support sessions are a way to intentionally self-reflect and be introspective without turning to traditional therapy. Book a session with me here!

sagittarius rising, leo sun, virgo moon

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 my spirit guides

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.

Book a reading w/ kay: my bookings for personal chart sessions are open for the fall! I’d love to work with you, so hit me up!
