Your Origin Story: Writing Truth from the Subconscious This two-hour generative workshop will use the art of storytelling and analysis to help give you discover your origin story.

Hi! Finishing brekkie & a book in bed and thinking of yous. Do I know you?

My name is Anastasia, and I support folx seeking inner peace. I’m trained as a counselor, but I call myself a psychospiritual guide. I know words are medicine, so when we work together we talk, we write, we speak the unspeakable causing pain and speak the unbelievable, the things we want in our lives that maybe we don’t know how to receive or think we deserve—love, respect, boundaries. And, we’ll sit in the moment and make choices, ones that serve your growth and wellbeing.

In short, peace.

My superpower is navigating the chaos of spiritual emergence so you feel supported during the process of growth.

Inner peace isn’t a final destination or is it a place you have never been to. You have it inside of you. You are it—love—and you return to it.

Tools we’ll use: imagination. . .

If ya ain’t got ‘em or don’t know what I’m talking about, pull up. I’ll teach you.

This is where I support you to surrender to the chaos of crisis, midlife breakdown, spiritual breakthrough.

If you want to feel peace and tend to your soul, you’ve got to let the world and what it’s done to you go.

You are the agent of your human experience. I’ll help to to figure out how to empower yourself, and I’ll show you that the best way do that—make change—stick the transformation—is to choose to be happy ever day. Despite everything ever, say yes. Bring the light to the darkness. Bring the love to the hate. Bring calm to the crazy.



We talk as much about culture and worldview as much as we talk about your inner life.

In a world that’s complex and dumpsterfire, we’ll find your inner peace.

DM to start a conversation. Free 15-min consults to see if we align and are ready to work with each other.



Also: how about that weird baby!? Found it in my pajama pocket.

Going deeper, going higher. Every time I slide into an astrology class, time & space open. Grateful to be learning with these babes across the globe.

I’ve been in a masters program for the past three years in London, England while living in the American South. I’ve been getting up at 2 or 3 am CT to be online and present for full days of seminars. Today is the last day of them. I’m tired but so alive. Here to serve you with what I’ve learned. ✨✨✨

My happy place. Morning stream of consciousness writing sesh in my office.

Find yer joy, bbs.

Or, DM me. I’ll help you find it. 🔥✨✨✨

Here’s a free-form piece of writing. If you dig it, let me know!

Recipe for thriving under the energies of the slash slash conjunction this **usSeason.

1. Listen to — the episode on Ta**us season for ways to interpret and embody the archetypal resonance of all of this awakening coming from the dirt

2. Awakening? Ya, that stuff that’s coming up so you can let it be seen and then let it get gone. Full moon ho right meow!

3. Paint. Or, make something beautiful.

4. Do it in the middle of the night, when the dark is thick. Bring your light and move the dark.

5. Make the world a stage.

((That’s what I was painting, a stage for folx to use doing writing workshops. Get up on it and speak your truth. The alchemy of Scorpio vibes turns s**t into hold.)

6. Remember Pluto! Oh, right, how could I forget that cheeky planet who probably has a secret handshake with Jupiter. They both rule skewl. Earth skewl and soul skewl. Come to Earth for soul skewl.

7. Make promises. Today I had to write a few contracts. It was werk. Last week I had a dream in which I walked down the street and watched gnomes setting bombs on top of coffins that lie on the sidewalk. I knew that was ancestral work. Some things never die. Sometimes the ground expunges secrets but that’s what you’re here to turn out and turn over.

Where those secrets took up space, now you have fresh dirt to plant.

So do it.

Get your hands dirty. Be haunted by those fleeting images from dreams, the ones that slip back into thy ether between neurons and electrons firing.

There’s the life force.

Be alive in the moonlight.

In transpersonal psychology, we consider factors beyond the personality that contribute to a person’s mental health—well being and dis-ease. This seems like a revolutionary idea given the tendency to diagnose, label, and put the onus of mental health status on the individual.

One of the reasons I continue to write, edit, and work on books that push the boundaries of the way we think about the world is precisely that: we need to continue to open spaces for new ideas.

The writing and editing support my client work and vice versa.

As mental healthcare practitioners, this looks like challenging ourselves and our colleagues to continually reflect.

I worked on this book in 2009/2010, way before my client practice scaled. One of the biggest ideas that came out of this book for me was from the chapter about a therapist’s experience in New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. He went to the city thinking he could “fix” some pieces of the situation. He learned that showing up (aka “helping”) in a meaningful way meant asking the people, “What do you need?” and then just listening.

The book has much more meaning to me now as a mental healthcare practitioner and as an editor & writer. I look forward to more projects like this.

If you’re looking for editorial consulting on a similar project, please reach out.

Planet Dust Enterprises HQ is open in Gadsden, Alabama (behind Blue Jug water store — 2002 Rainbow Drive).

Stop by. Check out the books & kibbles n‘ bits for your self care practice. Vibe. Hang out in the lounge. Grow. Book an onsite session for psychospiritual guidance. Transform. Join a workshop on spirituality or creative writing. Learn. Books are portals to another dimension.

This is about community. Connection. Creativity. Culture. Learning how to do things differently in this dumpsterfire world. Finding peace within chaos. Loving yourself. Pull up.

I talked with JP Garnier of Space Cowboy Books in Joshua Tree, CA about creative community, experimental writing, and time-space.

I make this content for Planet Dust, and there is a lot that branches out from my brand and professional interests, including applying creative writing to a meaningful experience of inner transformation.

I love talking about of thisbeirh community.

The foundation of Planet Dust is like-minded community. While the bigger idea (and goal) is usually someone who wants to deepen their connection to authenticity, spirituality, and that interconnectedness to "something greater," the reason people stay in the Planet Dust community is because they find other people who value being seen just as they are AND with beliefs that some others might find too weird. JP did this for me. I have some far-flung creative ideas. He is always enthusiastic about hearing them.

Have a listen and lemme know whatchu think.

Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains call on us?
—John Donne, “The Sun Rising”

Morning! ☀️ Another day, another call to the unknown that exists beyond my warm & snuggly bed.

That’s Pisces new moon got me guuuuud. This month’s archetypal signature is about the everything ever, all in one, but nothing ever and none. That space of pure awareness, freedom.

And, that whole Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Ta**us in April sitch is already here energetically for me. It’s directly on my natal Chiron.

Wounds of lack. Wounds of being. There is no more story.

Freedom is having passed through the gates of digging into life experiences, finding their resonance, writing out that story, then letting it all go.

Released, into the cloud.

Setting the intention to dissolve into that space, because that’s flow, that’s abundance, a high vibe state of mind. Abundance is about being in the flow of your higher self’s calling.

But dang, all those twists and turns navigating lack, low vibe money systems. So much healing around lack and dollar dollar bills is so much necessary for so many many, many many folx. I betcha we’d be a different society if we weren’t operating from a place of lack.

Abundance.

Sun’s up, day’s on, I’m out in the unknown, navigating some of this Pisces new moon energy through writing. ✍️ From low vibe to high vibe, let me be free. My inner sun wants to shine.

Grateful for another day to try.

Sometimes the fanstasies of youth haunt us. All times the trauma of youth keep us young, the way that when we don’t deal with things, we grow physically older but our minds stay stunted and we replay the psychodramas over and over. That looks like patterns we can’t seem to break. That looks like the horrors of the things we rallied against always coming around and being the things we live with in our lives.

Until we name them.
Until we bring darkness to light.
Until we get free, and creative writing is how I teach you to get free from yourself.

In Jungian terms, it’s Dis, those fractures created by the disassociation from reality. The painful pieces. The places inside we go unconscious. I teach how to access, experience and integrate unconscious material into awareness through creative writing.

Let your words bleed out. Find the will to live again. Be the person who is free inside.

There’s inner peace in you, and joy, freedom, all those things you might not believe are there. But I believe in you. And I can help you get to that place inside from which you grow into the adult you wish you always had around as a kid.

DM “Light My Fire” to book a free call. I’ll tell you about what I’ve got to offer.

Group programs starting in April!!

A great opportunity to get involved with research!

Ever taken psychedelics in nature and had a sense of profound communication or connection with another species?

As part of our ongoing ecodelic research project we are looking for respondents for a short survey who have had psychedelic experiences that led to encounter experiences with non-human species, such as special connections, communications or interactions.

The study is being supervised by Dr David Luke, Associate Professor of Psychology, and has been given ethical approval by the University of Greenwich. It will take approx. 15mins to complete and your responses, which remain anonymous and confidential, are valuable to us in helping us understand these unique experiences.

💫 Finding Ease in the Midst of Life's Storms ⛈️

Hello, beautiful hearts! Amidst life's storms, let's remember that joy and ease are not distant islands but companions on our journey.

In the chaos, I've discovered that ease isn't the absence of challenges but a state of mind.

"In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you." - Deepak Chopra 🧘‍♀️🌪️

Life's storms may rage, but within, we can find a serene harbor. Let's cultivate stillness, allowing joy to blossom even in the most turbulent times. Together, let's navigate the chaos with a heart full of ease and a spirit that dances with joy.

🌺🌐 Navigating the Path to Empowerment in Conscious Community! 🌟💕

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery is empowering, but doing it within a conscious community elevates the experience to new heights. 🚀💖 Here, we weave a tapestry of support, understanding, and celebration for the full spectrum of your power and weirdness. 🌈✨

In the embrace of this safe space, you're encouraged to shed societal norms and emerge in your truest form. Together, we're rewriting the narrative on what it means to be powerful and wonderfully weird. Join me in this conscious community, and let's navigate the path to empowerment hand in hand! 🤝🌟

🌟✨ Embracing the Power of Narratives 📖💖

In the tapestry of life, we live not just by the moments but by the stories we tell ourselves. "We live by and through the stories that we tell ourselves, and we connect (or don’t connect) to narratives around those stories." ✨

These narratives shape our perceptions, our connections, and the very essence of our being. Let's choose stories that empower, uplift, and connect us in the beautiful dance of existence. Here's to crafting a narrative that resonates with the heart and soul! 💫🌌

🌟✨ Navigating Chaos with Joy and Ease 🌪️💖

Hey, lovely souls! As we journey through the whirlwind of life, let's embrace the beautiful paradox: joy and ease can thrive within chaos. In the dance of uncertainty, I've learned that it's not about avoiding chaos but finding serenity within its midst.

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." - Alan Watts

When chaos knocks, let's not resist, but instead, let's waltz with the unexpected and discover the joy that resides in spontaneity. Life's rhythm is unpredictable, but within its beats, there's a symphony of joy waiting to be heard.

🌟✨ Embrace Your Power and Weirdness in the Conscious Community! 🔥🌈

Hey, beautiful souls! Let's talk about the magic that happens when we come together in a conscious community. It's a space where you're not just accepted but celebrated for all your quirks, your uniqueness, and the full spectrum of your power and weirdness.

In this safe haven, we encourage each other to step into our authenticity, unleashing the brilliance that makes us beautifully strange. 💫✨ Together, we create a space where being fully YOU is not only welcomed but celebrated. Join the conscious community journey, and let's amplify our collective power and weirdness!

📚✨ Exciting News, My Beautiful Souls! ✨🌈

I'm thrilled to share that my upcoming book, "KiezKucker," is on the horizon, inviting you to embark on a journey through the unexplored realms of the subconscious. 🌌💫

In this work that transcends the boundaries of traditional memoir or autofiction, I've decided to awaken from the cocoon of loneliness, venturing into the inner chaos that holds the key to my authentic self. 🦋💖

"KiezKucker" is not just a book; it's a dialogue, an interactive play where you get to choose your own adventure through my 20 years of travels in and out of the US. As I assume the observer state, "KiezKucker," in a second-person perspective, you'll join me in asking, "But what would I do?" and "How can I be authentic here?" 🤔✨

Each chapter is an opportunity for introspection, a chance to navigate the layers of media and cultural narratives that have shaped my identity. I embrace vulnerability and share moments of struggle with grounding in shared reality—a journey essential for healing, being, and understanding the true meaning of belonging to oneself.

Stay tuned for the release date, and let's dive into this transformative exploration together!

As the festive lights twinkle around us, let's also ignite the light within. Anastasia Wasko's transpersonal guidance is a gift that keeps on giving—a path to profound transformation and inner growth. May your holidays be filled with the warmth of self-discovery and love! 🌈🕯️

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the season, let's take a moment to embark on an inner journey. My transpersonal guidance is the compass leading us through a landscape of self-discovery and transformation.

Find the light within and let it illuminate your path! 🌌🌟
