Hi all! I’m Marcy, and I write the Soul Journaling Sessions. I create meditative journaling experiences to help you channel the wisdom of your Soul: https://souljournalingsessions.substack.com

I’d love to create holiday-themed Soul Journaling Sessions that are tailored to your subscribers needs. For example, I could create a session or prompts around honoring or enjoying the holidays, managing stress or difficult emotions around the holidays, or simply maintaining peace during the holiday season.

I am happy to do just one session or a series, and I can incorporate Astrology, Tarot or Oracle cards, if you are interested! I envision doing these as a guest post(s) with an audio files, but I am also open to other possibilities/formats.

This sounds incredible. It sounds tailored to my needs, I hope that means it's tailored to my subscribers needs lol. I've done a lot of soul searching around family dynamics this year and I'm really tempted to opt out of holidays entirely. It's not something I've been public about though. Holidays are a tough time and I'd like to give people hope. Last year I did a Forest Therapy Advent countdown series, as a countdown to winter solstice.

Autism/AuDHD/ADHD Virtually's avatar

Hi, I am Jenn. I write monthly neuro-affirming virtual love letters with guest writers each month. Our November issue on Caregivers and their loved ones just dropped. Each month I feature new guest writers who have voice that is meaningful and relevant to the topic the edition is centered on. One thing I love to incorporate is poetry when I can. In October, I sent out a call in our FB group for late or self diagnosed women to write for that month's Sisterhood of the Traveling Neurodivergence Writing Corner. We had some poems (including a slam spoken poem) and even a journal entry featured to highlight women.

This month, I think it would be fun to do a shout out here. I would like to include neurodivergent poets for a Holiday Poetry Corner. Basically, your poems would be featured in my newsletter- and when I say newsletter- the last one was 26 pages long. I am looking for poems or short writings that revolve around how to process and feel about the holiday season (I know different people celebrate differently). They don't have to be rainbow and unicorn candy tree poems and words. They only have to be your words and your feelings and I know for so many of us, the holidays are one of the hardest times for a lot of reasons.

If you are interested, please drop a comment and let me know. Feel free to go to my substack and check out an edition of the newsletter that drops at the beginning of each month. If you go to October 1st 2025, you can access the edition with the Writing Corner as an example of what I am working to create. The December issue is written in November so a hard deadline would be November 25th for a submission.

TIA for your interest. And sorry, I am probably doing this all wrong - but each month after the edition drops, the poems would be shared with my readers in the form of page snapshots and @ed at you for more visual presence.

Anyways... well, let me know!

Martha here…Every year I write a daily free email from Dec 1-24 called December EnLIGHTenment which focuses on making the holiday season sweet, comforting, and fun by using music, images, videos, quotes, crafts, RAKs, and a special thing to do for each day to bring the loving spirit of the holidays into the reader’s life. I have been doing this for 14 years! I can donate one of my emails.

Love this, Marcy!

Hi everyone! I’m Chloe, and I write Joyful, where I help ambitious, burned-out, and sensitive women regulate their nervous systems and find more ease, calm, and joy again.

For this holiday theme, I’d love to collaborate on a piece or chat around how to stay grounded when everything feels chaotic — nervous system tools for when the to-do list, travel, and emotions start piling up. How to find real calm, not performative calm.

Things like: why our bodies struggle with seasonal overwhelm, and how to build small anchors that actually work.

Open to a guest post, a co-authored piece, or even a conversation about how to protect your peace when the world gets sparkly and stressful.

If that resonates, I’d love to connect! Find my Substack here: https://chloemarkham.substack.com/

Winter | šŸ”„Whole Woman RisingšŸ”„'s avatar

Hello everyone! My name is Winter and I’m the author of Whole Woman Rising; I help women reclaim their knowing through ancestral healing, Tantra, plant medicine and shamanic channeling.

My idea for a holiday collab involves ancestor veneration; I’d love to share ways to connect with your ancestors during the holidays (like building an altar) or creating a shamanic guided visualization meditation to connect with your ancestors for your subscribers šŸ¤

I’d prefer Substack Live as a format as it would be the best way for either transmission to come through and it would also allow for Q&A šŸ¤—

If this feels resonant for you, drop me a comment here or send me a DM; I’d love to connect!✨

✨ What a brilliant, magical idea!

My WRITELIGHTER newsletter featured two holiday-inspired posts in 2022: "A Color and Light Meditation for the SOULstice" (https://writelighter.substack.com/p/ep-4-a-color-and-light-meditation) and "If You Just Believe" (https://writelighter.substack.com/p/if-you-just-believe).

At this time, I envision launching a new holiday writing workshop series, including guest-written short stories, essays, and poetry.

For a digital goody bag, I would be pleased to donate PDF copies of my book, "Seaglass Christmas," as well as the original recording of "A Color and Light Meditation for the SOULstice" and the "All is Calm, All is Bright" snowglobe meditation mp3 from my old LIGHT LUNCH podcast.

UPDATE: I am planning on hosting a four-part series called "Making Spirits Bright." The first installment will be the Peace & Light workshop, available for cross-posting. The workshop includes meditation, aromatherapy, music, journaling, and writing prompts.

The remaining three parts will be reserved for guest authors and their reflections about the holidays.

Hi everyone! I'm Amanda Aaron, and I write Soul Musings which you can find here: https://soulyogaretreat.substack.com/

It includes personal essays and podcast episodes on motherhood, womenhood, earth-based spirituality, revillaging, and my journey to be a printed author!

Idea 1: The Story Behind the Christmas Tree: Honoring the Winter Solstice and Yule.

Here we share Solstice and Yule traditions and symbols and break down the history of the Christmas tree and how to be sustainable and responsible to our earth in a season of consumerism.

Options: guest post, co-authored post, cross-post.

Idea 2: The Great Divide: How to honor our differences during the holidays

Here, we talk about the dynamics of when to dive into ethical or moral differences and when to leave it alone. During the holidays, we see all sorts of people that we don't normally see. Sometimes it's critical to keep the peace. Sometimes it's critical to set clear boundaries.

Options: guest post, co-authored post, cross-post.

Hi again! Dawna Kreis here from The Whispering Grove.

Idea: A Solstice Sanctuary... A Collective Ember-Tending Guide

I’d also love to collaborate on a free digital ā€œSolstice Sanctuaryā€ zine or guide... something small, poetic, and sacred to help readers pause during Winter Solstice (or any end-of-year threshold). Each contributor could offer one page: a story, ritual, reflection, or sensory practice to honor darkness, light, and the wisdom of stillness.

Please let me know if you’d like to participate 🄰

Hi there! I’m Dawna Kreis.... Soul Guide, Emberkeeper, and Keeper of Wondermere. I walk beside those in sacred transition: the tender in-between where the old no longer fits and the new is still becoming. Through my Substack, The Whispering Grove, I offer rhythm-rooted reflections, soul-deep practices, and mythic storytelling to support soft, sacred becoming... especially for sensitive, spiritually curious souls.

✨ Idea: The Emberkeeper’s Gift Exchange

I’d love to create or co-host a holiday collaboration centered around soul-giving... a digital ā€œgift exchangeā€ where contributors offer free, sacred downloads to nourish others through the season. These could be printables, mini rituals, poems, meditations, coloring pages, art, or short audio practices.

The intention: create a wonder-filled, spiritually safe alternative to consumer-heavy holiday culture... a cozy curation of small, soul-rooted gifts that offer rest, reflection, and gentle magic.

Please let me know if you’d be interested in participating. 🄰

Hi there! I'm Mike, and I create short, Hi here. I’m Mike, and I write short, problem-solving PDFs that people actually buy and use. My newsletter is all about showing other writers how to do the same:

https://substack.com/@mikesearles

I love Marcy’s holiday-themed collab idea.

I’d be glad to join you for a guest post, a live video chat, or a feature in your newsletter.

What I can bring is quick, easy tips for your readers on how they can create a short, PDF of their own, something they could give away as a holiday bonus, or even sell if they want to.

A simple, practical, and fresh angle your audience can use right away this season.

Looking forward to discussing it with you.

Mike

Hi, everyone, I'm Jeannie Ewing, and I write I GROW STRONG AGAIN here on Substack. I feature guest essays and love collaborations. My primary thematic threads are motherhood, midlife, and grief.

I'm thinking of a possible collaboration that centers around "grieving through the holidays." It's a hard time of year for many of us, but we don't often talk about it. If you have any ideas for a podcast/Live, or a guest post, please send them my way.

Hi Jeannie! I have you on my list to send you something for the new year!

Your idea for this holiday collaboration strikes a chord with me. In 2023, my dad had a heart attack on Dec 19 and finally passed away Jan 1, 2024. That was a rotten Christmas and New Years. I would love to share the story in a guest post. What do you think?

Hi Amanda, I'm so sorry to hear this about your dad's death during the holidays a couple of years ago. And yes, it's a great idea and I'd love to hear more from you. Thanks.
