The weird childhood game that's behind all I'm doing now

Hello there,
When I was a kid, I did some strange stuff...
... once, when I was four, my mom got a new refrigerator and my favorite game became laying in the black void of the giant cardboard refrigerator box...
... holding a glow-in-the-dark rosary...
.... and singing songs.
I called this game: "resurrection."
Now you gotta wonder - how exactly did a four-year-old little girl in Pittsburgh get the idea to resurrect herself from a cardboard sarcophagus?
My best guess is that I was remembering my past lives as a Pharoah ;)
I guess you could say I've always been attracted to the mysteries of life & death & magick.
As I got older, I became a big hit on the sleepover party circuit...
... specializing in taking my friends on transformative astral journeys.
I could sense the pain in my friends because it resonated with the pain in me.
We had fighting, stressed parents, miserable schools, tyrannical teachers, a landscape filled with pollution and ugliness, a whole lot of trauma to deal with...
... so, feeling this pain in my friends, I wanted to help them feel better, so I took them to places in my imaginal realm that helped me feel better.
Of course I didn't call it entrancement or astral travel... I just had people lay down and close their eyes while I told them long, immersive stories.
My friends would rouse from my story-telling sessions with minds blown, excited to tell me all they had seen and felt while going on the ride, begging me to do it again and again, inviting me over the next weekend.
That experience stayed with me.
In pondering it, I realized that those childhood games and sleepovers were some of the most fulfilling times of my life...
... intimate adventures wherein my magick impacted people at a profound level, and to top it all off, we also had pizza and Grease.
So I decided I wanted to put my adult resources & energy into creating a grown-up version of an on-going magickal party that would also blow minds and hearts wide open.
So I'm offering Sleep Over Mystery School, a nine-month Existential Kink alchemical crucible...
... complete with epic rituals, erotic and somatic practices, dance parties, and weird trippy games.
