This is my Republic
And I’m inviting YOU to be a Founding Member. This Group is a Companion for my Diary. I journal my life. The day-to-day. Lessons learned. I love. I laugh, mostly at myself because laughter is the best medicine. And I travel in both my imagination and reality. I cook. I share recipes for food as well as practical magic. I believe in God. And I believe God hung the Moon and Stars. You have the power to create your own reality - to make your dreams come true. My diary is Eat, Pray, Love (Yourself) meets Elle Decor with a dash of Goop and a pinch of Entrepreneur.
Everyone is welcome. There are no fees for our first batch of new members but as Virginia said, “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write...." Short term IF you can afford it, I am seeking Patrons for my Art while I make a brand pivot to add more income streams. You’ll see the new website and new services coming soon! First things first, I’m putting together this membership and asking those of you who can buy membership to do so. If you can’t afford to pay for it, you’re still welcome to join! No fret. Donate whatever amount - high or low - or none. We are setting the suggested membership fee at $10 a month (or $120 a year), which will allow me to dedicate time to keeping these words a’coming.
What’s included in the membership?
The details are still evolving, but cooking lessons will certainly be included as I fear there might be anarchy if the pursuit of food and communion are not included! Lessons on Art, Antiques. Architecture and History. Meetings with Great Minds. Philosophy. Self Help. Topics of Mental Wellness and Mindfulness. Lessons in random bits of esoteric knowledge. I’m not a guru. I’m figuring this out right alongside you.
1. Join a community
Our collective’s focus is on The Becoming. Discuss new ideas, new ways of thinking, new ways of being — in a community that believes through communication, collaboration and connection, the world can be a better place.
2. Private Invitation
You’re invited to x2 Facebook Lives each month in the Republic of Toma Group on the dates of New Moon and Full Moon. These are moons of intentions and release. You don’t have to believe in the power of the moon! I use the moon as means for providing structure. The moon is a time telling system as old as time herself. In each Facebook Live session, I discuss what themes are present in that month’s text. You can request more information and interact in Q&As.
3. Weekly Journal Exercises
I provide the group with writing exercises to enjoy as you record your own thoughts throughout this process.
4. You’re Encouraged to Share
This group provides a space where YOU can also share your words on my page. Emotions shared mean you’re not alone.
5. Exclusive Access
Gain special access to follow interviews & talks with *my mentors* via Facebook Lives, Videos & Podcasts.
6. Dream Sessions
All Founding Patrons earn one Dream Session with Toma per year of paid membership. This is a Creative or Brand strategy session. Dream your own reality.
STEP 1: Submit Membership Fee
Suggested membership fee: $10/month ($120/year). While this fee is completely voluntary, it’s also what keeps me going. If $10/month feels a bit much, please feel free to choose another amount you’re more comfortable with.
STEP 2: Join Facebook Group
