WHAT'S INCLUDED IN
Side Quests: Underworld Journey

Who is this membership for?
Side Quests: Underworld Journey is for the artist who...
Desires to revive and reconnect to their creative practice.
Is ready to examine the roots of perfectionism, procrastination & imposter syndrome.
Wants a supportive space to practice creative consistency & build momentum.
Side Quests: Underworld Journey is not for…
Anyone looking for instant, tangible results. This container emphasizes a slow, steady & sustainable journey towards success.
-
Folks seeking crisis support. This container dabbles in shadow work, but I am not a licensed therapist and
cannot support anyone in active crisis.
“Here you must leave behind all second thoughts and here all your faint heartedness must die.” – Virgil in Dante's Inferno
The 30 Days of Side Quests Challenge was just the beginning. Low-stake side quests pique our curiosity and allow us to navigate around perfectionism & procrastination. But the road isn't always easy even with Fool's luck. We still encounter beasts along the way: insecurity, imposter syndrome, exhaustion & the existential question: does my work even matter?
Success is often defined as external achievements, but here, we define it as alignment with your heart's desires. Becoming a creative icon takes time, steady effort and a willingness to descend into the Underworld. You can't build a sustainable legacy without strong roots. This continuous membership container is an invitation to explore the depths of your creative practice. It's time to make peace with the three-headed beasts lingering there.

About your psychopomp
Aryn the Alchemist
Creative Coach for World-Building Artists
I’m Aryn (they/them) and I’m a creative coach and identity alchemist who helps artists traverse the metaphorical underworld and re-emerge as confident, powerful icons.
My creative coaching method combines narrative astrology, character creation, shadow work, glamour magick and ancestral devotion to help you achieve the success you’ve always dreamed of.
Psychopomp is the greek word meaning "guide of souls," an escort of the newly deceased to the Underworld. While my usage of this title is a bit tongue-in-cheek, it also reflects my personal Underworld journey. You can read more about my lore here.
Read my Substack piece Side Quest to the Underworld to get a sense of my writing about Underworld mythology.
