As we wrap up 2024 and the Year of the Dragon, I’m doing some housekeeping in preparation for the Year of the Snake.

The inauguration approaches, and the horrors are sure to multiply. We’ve got to work more efficiently than ever, conserving our energy for a strong defense and precise initiatives.

In the Year of the Snake, my goal is to help our members get clarity on issues and build capacity for action. Like a snake emerging from old skin, we’re releasing old patterns, commitments, or habits that keep us from growing.

So, I’m retiring our regular LBT Updates and shifting the notifications and content normally included in these updates to the Ignition Notes Newsletter.

To be clear, the Luminary Braintrust is still up and active, and our LBT Member Portal remains the same. I am just integrating the regular emails I send to LBT members into the monthly cycle of Raising Luminaries Ignition Notes Newsletters.

So this is our last LBT Update. But I will still be publishing all Luminary Braintrust news, events, and features over here.

If you are an existing LBT member but not yet a member of the Ignition Notes newsletter, you don’t have to take any action. You may receive a ‘comped’ email letting you know that I’ve unlocked some bonus resources for you on Substack.

It’s 2pm, and I still haven’t gathered enough spoons to get out of bed today. But my window says it’s a lovely sunny day, and I’m trying to convince myself to go for a walk.

So, instead of wasting time writing some convincing reason why you should keep scrolling and clicking and exploring the stuff below, I’m gonna trust that you’ll keep scrolling and clicking and find at least one delightful thing that will get you out of bed and into the sunshine this month.

This month, we wrapped up our Transitions Collab Lab and started the new Trickster Resistance Lab. I hope you’ll join the chat group; I’d love your thoughts!

(please don’t try to catch up on old conversations – leap in, and we’ll catch you up!)

Aside from that, our only urgent deadline-esque item is that enrollment for the Winter Incubator closes on 12/31/24, and we have one spot left. Members who registered early got to pick the schedule, but we have a good range of gathering times, so I hope you can join us this year.
