In the spirit of the upcoming Full Moon in Aries our plan is: release everything. And what better way to let go of September and dive into October by sending Aliza to a faraway land: Boston.
Actually, by the time you read this, she’ll be there, probably mid-conversation with the ghouls of Two Girls One Ghost. That’s right, kids, she’s back on their podcast. What a treat (not a trick)!
Before she left for B-Town (does anyone call it that?), Aliza modeled for us a few looks for the journey. Everything was a different shade of black. We did not point this out because a) we had no notes and b) we felt the presence of Stevie Nicks in the room saying: MAKE IT WITCHIER—WITCHIER!
We’re sure you can deduce this from her whole vibe, but did you know Aliza used to be quite the horror movie aficionado back in the day? However, due to the state of the world and various factors, her own anxiety has prevented her from feeding this love of horror. And so, on the crisp fall evening before her departure—as she lit 20 candles and blasted 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins—Aliza told us that she doesn’t actually watch truly scary movies anymore, but she does read their Wikipedia pages.
And then we admitted we do the same thing.
And then it seemed that we all knew someone that does this. We think this may be the hack for sensitivos like ourselves who want to experience all of the campy horror aesthetic without the bombardment of violent, horrifying crippling terror? Seems reasonable!
Wait. A raven just crashed into our window to deliver the news that Aliza will be spending tonight in SALEM with the ghouls! This is her favorite place in the whole world. We cannot wait to hear what sort of trickery she will get into. Don’t worry, the raven’s fine; we just gave him some Diet Coke and explained how windows work.
After her New England pilgrimage, Aliza will be back in The City (that is, New York City) to host two workshops. Aliza is over the moon (pun intended) about these events. They’re very intimate: only eight people (not a trick—another treat!) and candle lit. A true Halloween atmosphere.
Oh and apologies for not introducing myself sooner—I’m actually quite private for a Gemini. I’m the omniscient narrator that oversees all things After Hours at Aliza’s Headquarters. I’ll be here every Friday, so we’ll get to know each other very well.
And now… here’s what’s in Aliza’s orbit this week…
…MIND…
“I’m a detective now.” -Aliza
…BODY…
“I’m getting one in every color.” -Aliza
…SPIRIT…
“I’m more than halfway through my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and I’m excited and overwhelmed and have been truly transformed by this experience. Sorry this is so earnest but that’s the truth!!!” -Aliza
…HOME…
“Idk if it’s for banishing or summoning, but it smells amazing.” -Aliza
…FRESH ASTROLOTEA…
See you next week!
