The Phoenix Soul digital magazine is currently on hiatus while Amanda navigates first-time parenting and stay-at-home mamahood! Check out all previously published issues here. We are currently publishing via our free collaborative blog. Amanda is also curating community on Patreon (monthly art mail sent to your “real” mailbox, weekly soul-prompts, and more), and exploring her role as creative encourager (including creating online art workshops and guest teaching in classes such as Book of Days).
The Phoenix Soul is your forever flock.
Your sanctuary of tender truth.
Your co-conspirator in wild joy.
Your lantern in the dark.
In the heartpounding pages of our digital magazine and in our vibrant online sanctuary, we welcome you exactly as you are--in all your untamed glory.
We support and celebrate your true self, the one you've been taught to hide.
Here, we honor our whole story: our gutwrenching grief, our wild and startling joy, our ache and our song.
We speak love into hidden hurts. We rise from the ashes of shame, regret, doubt, and fear: we choose to emerge, to be reborn, to live and breathe our daily transformation--the holy howl of yes. We protect the divine spark smoldering at our core. We embrace the wilderness of our hearts. We live with intention, compassion, vulnerability, and brave truth.
“The Phoenix Soul is the best thing for my heart and soul. [. . .] It lets me know I am not alone.”
We are grit, grace, and every gasp between.
“I love being part of such a beautiful, raw, open-hearted community!”
vibrant art. intimate interviews. gaspworthy poetry. mixed media pages. handwritten love notes. revealing essays. soul-stirring prompts.
“I’m finally sitting down and reading the Rhythm edition of The Phoenix Soul on this quiet Sunday morning as music from the wind chime plays in the background. I stop to sip my cuppa, close my eyes, take a deep breath as the words sink into my exhausted mind. I find tears escaping down my cheeks as I realize that I’m not alone. I’m not the only one whose heart aches and whose body cries for healing. There is so much hope and wisdom and truth and vulnerability in these pages. If you aren’t subscribed . . . may I suggest you wait no longer?”
Every moment is a choice. Every breath is possibility. How will we live? How will we love?

“we gather around each other and pull the quilts close. we become the glimmering candelight for one another, witnessing each other’s lives and reflecting back the truth of it all. we’ll never see it all or understand it all, yet there’s magic happening in the midst. you are known. you are loved. you are seen. you are welcome.”
