There's a lot of avenues here,
a fistful of PhDs worth of study, which I'll never get to do justice to all of (the dream is to one day be able to entrust some interesting directions to other people and know they'll do justice to the study),
But I do have starting points:
Conversation
There's at least a 30-item list I could put right here, but I backspaced all that to focus on the ones I'm most interested in at the moment: work like Coherence Therapy, Alexander Technique, Kastrup, McGilchrist, (more) Hillman, narrative, creative energy, art…

The study aspect will be ongoing probably my whole life, but I'm excited to have some more time to set aside and really get at it.

3- Practice is both the most unpredictable, and the place where miracles emerge. Big roll of the die

What's possible here will also largely depend on how much time I'm able to secure.
As with most contemplative techniques, in *image work, time is necessary but not sufficient for big shifts and breakthroughs.

Either way, I'm excited to have more time than I currently do to engage in the sadhana,
and I'll be glad to have fewer interruptions and outer responsibilities than usual that would constrain it.

In the Perfect World Holy Shit version of this, a situation would emerge where I'm able to deliver on the Communication aspect, go deep with the Exploration/study aspect, and make space for a Practice Retreat, where that can be my entire focus for a period.
We'll see 🤞🏼

Anyways, this thread is already longer than I wanted it to be. As all my threads ultimately are.
But that's what I'll be up to in the upcoming.

And if you're in a position to do more than thank him, please get in contact with him to talk about funding more projects like this.
(or about funding this project, actually. We're in the funding stage rn, so if this sounds like something you want to support, dm )
