The Phoenix Soul honors your daily transformation. Your vulnerable truth. Your grit and your grace. Your gut-wrenching grief and wild joy.
We are the next generation of gentle power. Warriors of truth and love. We are battle-scarred and laugh-lined. Fierce and fragile. Tough and tender. We are willing to unmask, to demolish our defenses, to let arrows of love pierce our armor. We are people of the phoenix. Soul-family. Forever flock.
The Phoenix Soul digital magazine is currently on hiatus while Amanda navigates first-time parenting and stay-at-home mamahood! Check out all previously published issues here; so much goodness awaits you in these pages. We are currently publishing via our free collaborative blog. Amanda is also curating community on Patreon (monthly art mail sent to your “real” mailbox, weekly soul-prompts, and more), and exploring her role as creative encourager (including creating online art workshops and guest teaching in classes such as Book of Days). You can also find her colorful & inspiring home goods, apparel, & more on RedBubble, Society6, and Zazzle.
“Every page is like a love letter.”
