an 8-module self-paced audio course
on making the first move with joy & curiosity

YOUR TIME IS NOW

Most people around you are busy making Plan B’s, overwhelmed by the state of the world, or simply lost in their own fantasies about the apocalypse.

Somehow, you’re built different.

It’s not that you don’t get their perspective. You do.

It’s not that you don’t feel their pain. Some days, you feel pain, too.

But for whatever mysterious reason, you felt something else calling you.

There’s a new world whispering its prophecies in your ears.

You see the seeds taking roots, when others see only the cracks.

You see movement, evolution, patterns, when others see only chaos.

You hear music, when others hear only noises.

You know that it’s time you rise up from your seat.

You know it’s time you press play.


THE PROBLEM: YOU CAN’T SEEM TO TAKE THE FIRST STEPS FORWARD…

You’ve done ‘the work’: shadow work, inner child work, mindfulness work.

You know you’ve got the goods: the brain, the heart, the vision.

And yet, no matter how many manifestation courses you purchased, mindset coaches you hired, or tarot cards you pulled, you whimper at the thought of making the first move.

You’re still frozen. Running all the scenarios in your head. Calculating your ‘what-ifs’.

The critical voices get louder with each passing day.

"What if I start the wrong business? Everybody will be so embarrassed of me. My parents will disown me and everyone will un-friend me on LinkedIn.”

“What if If I finally sign up for that pottery class, and it turns out I don’t like it that much? Or worse, what if I’m *terrible* at it? I’ll be really disappointed in myself.”

“Nobody wants to hear me talk about this really weird, niche astrological technique I’m currently obsessed with. Especially not when all these political riots are happening and people are afraid for their lives.”

“My teacher / my badass colleague / that super famous Instagram / TikTok / YouTube person is already sharing essentially the same message. Why should I share my thoughts? I’ll just add to the noise – a really cringey imitation of the real deal.”

And my personal favorite:

“What’s the point of starting things? After all, I’m not a Manifestor in Human Design. I’m not an Aries rising. {Fill in the blank with some smart esoteric reason why you shouldn’t even try.} I’ll just let life come to me.”

Sounds familiar?

“THE BEST TIME TO START is YESTERDAY.
THE SECOND BEST TIME TO START IS TODAY.”

YOU’VE PROBABLY TRIED AT LEAST ONE OF THESE…

  • Extreme attempts to eradicate your fear of the unknown: psychedelics, multiple-day silent meditation retreats, confronting your childhood abuser, hiking the Himalayas, cold plunges…

  • Getting absolutely everybody to validate the way you talk, think, create, and exist. From your mother-in-law to the social media bots.

  • Forcing big, chunky psychic downloads from your guides for a foolproof 10-year plan so you make unlimited money, a hot partner that makes killer breakfast every morning in bed just for you, and a mansion by the beach.

We can skip to the ending…

You, back at square one, trying to decide what you should call yourself on your social media bio (a coach? a teacher? an astrologer? a diviner? a priestexx?), finding out it’s too hard to pick one, then doom-scrolling (again).

I’m making fun of you, obviously…But that’s only because I move through this cycle at least once every 2 months myself.

WHY DON’T THEY ‘WORK’?

#1: These strategies don’t honor the essence of who you are.

In other words, these strategies are way too hardcore.

You are a multidimensional creative mystic, not a bulldozer.

You were never meant to make yourself suffer just to get to some arbitrary end-goal, driven by ‘shoulds.’

Somewhere deep down, you know that by the time you get there, you’re already a different person.

You need a different orientation to goal-creation and goal-setting.

~

#2: These strategies are rooted in fantasies, not true desires.

True desires are mysterious beings.

They move in spiralic, serpentine ways. They show flashes of their true nature, they move you forward, and then, before you had a chance to study them deeply, they quickly evaporate.

Fantasies, on the other hand, are like the nagging sounds of ambulance, cutting through Manhattan.

They hover. They haunt. They persist.

You live in a culture full of these fantasies. Each time you turn on the TV, or scroll on social media, somebody is selling you one of these fantasies.

These fantasies snowball into what many people think are their ‘life goals.’

~

There’s nothing inherently wrong with fantasies.

However, as a creative mystic, you know that your unique path goes much deeper than mere, skin-deep fantasies.

You crave pulsating satisfaction. Abiding peace. Radiant success.

You want the sensation of Life gently embracing you from behind, whispering, “I got you, my Child.”

You, my friend, are a Unicorn.

And it’s time to stop treating yourself like a racehorse.

HERE’S WHAT WE’LL DO INSTEAD…

Believe it or not, most creative mystics I’ve encountered (myself included) don’t respond well to harsh, overly rigid approaches.

Often, our biggest challenge isn’t lack of motivation, subpar intelligence, or even questionable willpower.

Our biggest challenge is that we feel deeply in a world that teaches us to numb our feelings.

And that we receive a large of volume of important-yet-subtle streams of insights that we haven’t been taught to work with.

This course isn’t a series of rigid ‘how-to’s,’ but rather a gentle, winding contemplative path.

As your guide, I promise there will be no bro-ish, David Goggins-style “PUSH HARDER!” antics.

My aim is to help you bolster a more precise understanding of our multidimensional nature, which leads to acceptance, which leads to desires and courage naturally arising rather than artificially enforced.

We’ll approach the art of making the first move by:

  • Creating space for deeper compassion & self-acceptance for overthinking, perfectionist, and procrastinating tendencies through nuanced understanding about why & how they were formed

  • Learning simple principles of reality creation that can be applied to everyday reality without overwhelming your system

  • Guiding ourselves through a gentle, shame-free, self-led process of conducting tiny experiments aimed at making digestible changes and creating new worlds with maximum curiosity and minimum fear

HERE’S HOW WE’LL DO IT…

Every Sunday for 8 weeks, you’ll receive an audio lesson, where we dive deep into the following inquiries:

  • What’s the significance of being a creative mystic at a time when everything else (world politics, culture, institutions) seems to be going to sh*t?

  • What does it actually mean to start something?

  • How do we create the reality we actually want, rather than continuing to perpetuate harmful patterns of conditioning?

  • How do we discern the difference between fantasies and true desires?

  • What is the nature of fear?

  • How do we balance internal transformation and external action?

  • How do we transcend the pattern of playing it safe?

  • What does it mean to have faith in Life?

Throughout, we will invoke tarot and astrological archetypes as our allies.

Specifically, we’ll focus on the Tarot Aces and the Cardinal Signs.

We’ll study these archetypes in poetic, creative, and practical ways.

In addition, you’ll also receive recordings of energy work meditation practices, and PDFs with journaling questions + experimentation prompts.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH…

  • the satisfaction of trying & learning new things (even if / especially when the results aren’t as expected)

  • the wonder & awe of observing how small experiments can eventually lead into giant monuments, masterpieces, and life-altering surprises

  • blame-and-shame-free experience of being a human whose aliveness necessitates learning through making mistakes

  • the joy & relief of just taking the right next steps (as opposed to overplanning)

“THE BEST TIME TO BUILD NEW WORLDS IS WHEN EvERYBODY ELSE IS TOO BUSY WITH THE APOCALYPSE.”

ABOUT ME

Once, a mentor asked me: “What do you think is your biggest challenge?”

My answer: “My mind needs a plan, but my energy is spontaneous AF.”

Even as I write these words, there’s a voice in the back of my mind telling me, “No one’s going to care.”

Over the course of being a lifelong creative, I’ve learned that the self-criticism never goes away.

Instead, you learn to dance with it.

It’s a fun and delightfully weird dance. It requires balance, humor, and healthy self-esteem.

I built this course because, like you, I feel the immense power within me.

This power is ancestral. Primal. Ancient.

And yet, accessing it has not been easy.

I was blessed and cursed with an overactive mind (looking at you, all-three-gates-activated in an undefined Head Center!), an intense perfectionist tendencies (hello Virgo rising), and a mighty, yet slow burning stamina (exalted Mars and exalted Jupiter).

As an avid creative, musician, and podcaster, I make mistakes on a daily basis. I make moves when in hindsight it was wiser to stay put. I hit the brake on momentum when in hindsight it was more efficient to keep going. I wait too long before starting things even when I know the process of simply trying will give me the satisfaction I crave as a 3/5 Sacral Generator.

Each day, I’m confronted with dispelling illusions of overthinking and perfectionism.

I’m excited to share these tools and perspectives with you, because they’ve helped me shift my orientation on a daily basis.

A.K., Creative

I wasn't sure what to expect from EYES ON THE EDGE, but felt called to it from the moment I read the words on the portal page. I took the plunge and it did not disappoint. Every session felt like exactly what I needed that particular week.

Experiencing EYES ON THE EDGE helped me not only better understand my emotions, but approach my relationships to these emotions with curiosity and acceptance, rather than fear and shame.

This was the first container like this I'd been a part of, and the love and care Jonathan poured into EYES ON THE EDGE made me feel welcome. Instructions and what to expect were clearly outlined before the first session, and I was surprised by how quickly I felt at home in a group setting not knowing anyone. The consistency and detail Jonathan puts into each week's materials shows and their students are the better for it.

S.P., Witch, Mother

EYES ON THE EDGE was worth every penny I spent and I would do it again in a heart beat. 

Jonathan is so clearly prepared & not rigid. He is committed to the work with humor and grace. Jonathan is well informed, present in the moment and wise. Jonathan is musical, quirky, funny and soooo accessible.

R.L., Somatic Coach & Astrologer

Jonathan runs a tight ship as a Mars Priestess.

By this I mean: their level of devotion to crafting and holding this container was truly exceptional - from the amount of prep work involved through to the thoughtfulness behind each and every step guiding us into this exploration with Mars.

EYES ON THE EDGE was full of rich, nuanced transmissions and embodied explorations in a non-linear, emergent approach. Jonathan created real spaciousness for us to be in our own process and honour exactly where we are. I really appreciate the clarity and openness they brought to guiding the container - offering easeful and playful invitations to engage with Mars.

Mars seem much less scary when you have a friendly Mars guide. I loved all the extra bonus resources & tools available to support our journey during the week - from homeplay, energy practices, self-inquiry and contemplations on that week's Mars flavour.
