creative expression through moments of beingness
introducing felicia’s first book:
We Are All Connected, We Are The StarDust Crew
We Are All Connected, We Are The StarDust Crew is a family workbook that encourages discussions with children, youth, and adults about how our lives are connected to each other through the Mycelium network and StarDust. The book has us reflect on how we all experience a range of emotions, feelings, and experiences that remind us that we all navigate an abundance of circumstances in our lives. It is better to navigate our lives within our global community.
Felicia's poem and her conceptual book ideas, and Paul's extraordinary illustrations take you on a beautiful pictorial journey through our life's ups and downs. We experience problems with ourselves and others, and we experience solutions to those problems on our own and mostly within our community – being solutionary humane to ourselves and each other.

WHo is THE CUSSIN’ YOGINI?
My name is Felicia Savage Friedman – a multi-media artist, wellness thought leader, and Raja Yoga guide – and I come from a long lineage of cussers.
My Grandma Nana cussed, my Mom cussed, I cuss, and both of my children, Cleveland and Maya, cuss. We all cuss as a means of expressing ourselves, our disappointments, and excitement. We cuss because of the effects of harm that we do to ourselves because we don’t believe we are energetic beings, and the harm we may perceive or real that others may cause to us because they are being harmed by many oppressive and violent forces of energy.
I am a Black, cis-gendered woman thriving amidst the systems that don’t that want me to survive. My artistic practice is my healing practice – whether expressing through written word, emoting on canvas, or connecting through collage, it’s in my moments of beingness that the doing of creative expression comes through.
TCY is a pseudonym that embodies my history, who I am today, and where I am going. It is a portal and resting place for my creative expression – a place to access my art and soon to be books, podcast, and vlogs.
