Soulcare for Artists - Magpie Girl (Rachelle Mee-Chapman) Relig-ish: J.J. Abrams and the power of mystery. “Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge.” As my regular readers will know, I am preparing to teach three Relig-ish courses beginning this fall, and to gather the tribe together at a retreat next spring. Most of the writing I’m doing right now at Magpie Girl and Flock is to prepare all of us for that adventure.
