Salons for Beauty Hunters
Salons for Beauty Hunters
The Salons are on summer vacation. Stay tuned for changes or a surprise pop-up!
The Beauty Hunter Salons are conversational gatherings among curious people who love sharing ideas with other existential travelers.
The salons are taking a little fair-weather sabbatical. If you have a convo you’d like to explore, email me and I’ll add that to the list. Who knows! Beauty Hunter reserves the right to pop-up salons as the mood strikes.
If you’d like to put together your own salon and would like some guidance and/or a facilitator, I’m for hire. Email me at: beautyhunter63@gmail.com or DM via the Substack app.
A bit about the Salons for Beauty Hunters
Salons are for paid subscribers—and the more the merrier! We gather on Zoom, deep dive into a topic, re/consider it through the lens of beauty or others’ unusual POVs, meet cool people, open our minds, kick loose a few stale belief systems, say WOW, and have a few laughs.

Come as you are. No prep required.
I'll be your facilitator and will arrive with a topic, question, or theme.
Bring questions, curiosities, objects of beauty, declarations of love, disappointments, confusion, or a blank slate.
Salons center on a variation of themes and topics, from Play and Uncertainty to Money and Relationships. We hold everything up to a beauty lens; we question our beliefs and assumptions, and respect reality and the challenges of living: no forced happiness here! We turn toward the following:
💥How does Beauty show up in surprising & unexpected ways?
💥How can we continue opening up to moments of beauty and exaltation of the senses--in good times, bad & everything in between?
💥What if turning toward Beauty, and insisting on a Beautiful life over a meaningful one, is the most radical way we can live?
💥Topics of the moment, the season, or from a participating Beauty Hunter.

Is there a purpose to these salons?
Our Beauty Salons are a space to expand the mind and spirit; create more capacity for curiosity, inquiry, and change, make connections and meet other existential travelers. We often take a topic—Work, Desire, Love, Marriage, Play, Art, Uncertainty, You-Name-It—hold it up to beauty, and dig in.
The salons are currently being held once a season, or four times a year (keep an eye out for pop-ups), and are for paid subscribers. If you’d like to try it out, sign up for a month’s subscription at $8, check it out, and come away with a new idea or action to integrate into your weeks ahead.
This is your playground, sandbox, laboratory, wild frontier—a place to exalt your senses and expand your mind and spirit, as we practice experiencing more beauty in daily life, together.
The next Beauty Salon is Thursday, April 25, 12 - 1 pm PDT

“The Beauty Hunter salon is an experience worth having. Tatyana’s warmth, spunkiness, sense of humor and energy left me light-hearted but grounded at the same time. The group was incredibly genuine and engaging. Our weekly explorations and prompts provided a refreshing space in which to step back & evaluate what I actually deem to be beautiful in my work, and as Mary Oliver so eloquently describes it, to “loving the world” Looking forward to future groups with Tatyana.”— DeNae Nichols, Transaction Manager, Cura Contracts
