Dear fellow travelers,
Welcome to remembering constellations, a seasonal gathering of reflections, art, and medicine launched in December 2024. As your host, V Woods (ve/ver), I invite you into this digital medicine bundle where we'll explore the sacred practice of unlearning colonial narratives while remembering our way back to wholeness.
A Space for Revolutionary Remembering
This constellation emerges from my journey as a Black, trans non-binary, neuro-expansive healer, weaving together modern social work, psychotherapy, ancestral knowledge, and ecological wisdom. Through poetry, photography, essays, and channeled wisdom, we'll map the transformative journey of reclaiming what was lost or distorted.

Each piece here opens portals to ancient knowing while integrating present wisdom. Like the threads of light that connect us, our collected stories and insights will create a constellation of healing practices and revolutionary remembering—each post a node in the map of an ever-expanding sense of 'self.'
Ways to Journey Together
Free Subscription - Monthly Medicine
A simple, nurturing invitation to connect with the rhythms of your inner world. Each month, I share:
- A short podcast-style reflection
- A guided meditation
- An exploration of what’s alive in the season or constellation
This space is a place to pause, reflect, and ground into the wisdom that’s already within you. You'll also receive:
- Gathered wisdom from the season’s learnings
- Community updates and essential announcements
- A taste of our collective remembering
Paid Subscription - Deep Medicine ($3/month or $30/year)
Deep, seasonal offerings that take you on a journey through the energies and transformations of the time. With your paid subscription, you’ll receive:
- Full access to Portal Posts, which include essays, artwork, and channeled wisdom with audio readings
- Seasonal Portal Posts, featuring community submissions from artists, healers, and leaders who open channels to shared liberation
Your paid subscription makes this space possible and supports the continued creation of medicine stories that reach those who need them most. It allows me to maintain this as a space of authentic sharing rather than commodified content.
Every post, whether free or paid, is crafted with care and intention. Choose the level of engagement that feels right for your journey.
Submissions for the Summer Portal:
We are currently accepting submissions for the Summer Portal. If you feel called to share your medicine through poetry, essays, visual art, or channeled wisdom, we invite you to reach out through our contact page. Please note that submissions will be reviewed, and you can expect to hear back from me within 15-30 days.
We welcome submissions from Black women, trans, non-binary, and neurodiverse artists, and healers whose work maps transformative portals of unlearning and remembering. Submit here.
I invite you to sit with me in the unknown and see what surfaces for you. Together, we'll explore liberation, joining our light with Black, Brown, Native, Queer & Disabled communities as we write a new story of healing—one that honors our whole selves and our interconnected liberation.
In solidarity and remembrance,
V Woods (ve/ver)
