Since 2013 I have been using the World Wide Web to share my ideas, art, and writing in newsletter format to thousands of readers. In 2017 I began doing this weekly and found that it transformed my writing, my connection to people, and my relationship to the world around me. I have created many different containers for my work that all integrate with my paths of research and exploration.
I have had podcasts, radio shows, advice columns, and more - a variety of containers to share my notes on listening, paying attention, and practice with the world I find more CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE, DEVOTION, AND SATISFACTION when my art practice is deeply rooted in research and experimentation.

The Cartography of Time is a live, guided workshop for artists, creative entrepreneurs, and nonlinear thinkers who want to approach their week with clarity and intention. You’ll walk away with a customized system for how to plan and live your days—one that holds your creativity, your work, your rest, and your desires.
You’ll be introduced to a gentle framework for planning that includes tools like Notion, sticky notes, paper maps, and visual rituals. It’s tactile, visual, and flexible—meant for those who need to see their time in order to believe in it.
We’ll spend time mapping your actual week—from the groceries to the grant deadlines—so that your art practice doesn’t get squeezed out by everything else. By the end, you’ll have a visual structure that holds space for the work you care about most.
🌼 A visual, tactile map of your week—using paper, note cards, markers, or Notion
🌼 New rituals for starting and ending your week with intention

ZOOM ROOM
What this means is you'll have to take what you like and leave the rest! Not everything will work for every person, this container will, however, empower you to have the information to mold and fit to your specific needs and desires.
It will also help you determine the difference between when you are just beating yourself up for not "doing something you said you would do - and shifting into a space of awe and devotion.
This part might activate you - that's good: may the pushing back guide you closer to yourself. See you there!
A final note on the energy of the Zoom room:
This could be a small group, it could be a huge group, your ex might be there or your old neighbor. The mystery of digital spaces will invite us into our beautiful boundaries. Honor your physical and emotional needs and shift them throughout sessions : camera on / camera off. Participate in the chat exercises or don't. Face your camera to show us a plant the whole time. This is your experience!
Many Blessings - Cody
