Summary

Did you miss our LIVE bonus show on Fireside, the interactive storytelling platform? Don’t worry— you can catch the replay on Fireside, or enjoy the bonus audio here. On our Oct. 25 live event, I had the great pleasure of speaking with author, artist, and musician Thomas Negovan about his new book, Le Pater: Alphonse Mucha's Symbolist Masterpiece and the Lineage of Mysticism. This gorgeous, swoon-worthy coffee table book uncovers the often-overlooked metaphysical elements of Mucha's Le Pater series and also delves into themes of the Divine Feminine and Mucha's own metaphysical practices. Want to join in on the fun next time? Join Fireside now and follow me for invites to each live recording, where you can participate in the audience and ask questions live! And who knows? Maybe we’ll even throw a trivia contest every now and again. More Fireside chats are coming up this month and next. Watch our social media posts for further details.
