October 1, access to the complete versions of the two Heron Dance Substacks will require a paid subscription.
A Pause for Beauty
Creativity as a Way of Life
You can read a detailed description of what the free and paid versions will include here:
· The common aspects of the content of the two Substacks, and the differences.
· The free version will revolve largely around YouTube videos of me painting. These will also be a part of the paid version.
· All subscribers to the paid version receive a PDF of a new book, now close to completion, Using an Art Journal to Probe Deep, that will explore journaling tools and techniques that form the basis of all of this work.
· Subscribers at the Founding Member level receive that book, Using an Art Journal, and Meditations on Beauty and Mystery, A Gratitude Art Journal. See the section on the Kickstarter below for more on these books.
· Both Substacks will be published once a week, Creativity as a Way of Life on Thursdays, A Pause for Beauty on Sundays. I’ll do my best to get them posted by 5am both days.
. . .
On October 1, you will be able to subscribe to a paid membership on Substack. In the meantime, you can do that here. All paid subscriptions entered prior to October 1 will be transferred over to Substack.
There are details on both receiving a free subscription for those who can’t afford $5 a month (it’s easy, just ask), and credits for previously paid amounts on the Join Us page here.
The Kickstarter
In order to fund the printing of the new, limited-edition hardcover (Smyth-sewn, dust jacket, premium art paper, printed by a high-quality art book printer), Heron Dance is launching a Kickstarter.
You can read more about it here, but the featured items and bonuses include:
· Signed, numbered copies of both the upcoming Meditations on Beauty and Mystery, A Gratitude Art Journal, and the book published earlier this year, Nurturing the Song Within.
· Wire-o bound versions of both the Nurturing Diary Planner and Using an Art Journal to Probe Deep.
· PDFs of the above four books.
· Signed, limited edition prints of ten of the images in the books above, available in two different sizes.
Feedback on these changes is welcome. Email Rod directly: rod@herondance.org.
And thank you to all who support this work! I put my heart and soul into it. Your support means a lot to me.

Support options:

The cost of subscribing to both of my Substacks, A Pause for Beauty and Creativity as a Way of Life is twice that indicated above.
You can make a one-time or recurring contribution here. Any contributions received prior to October 1 will be credited against a subscription.
And thank you.
Is it 1 subscription for both "Creativity as a Way of Life" and "Pause for Beauty" or 2 separate subs ? (Sorry this part isn't clear) and the link to details doesn't work, at least for me. I'll try on a different device when I get home
Thanks
