I have only just discovered you and your writing, so I have little knowledge of what you do, but … I did leave academe at mid-life/mid-career and it was one of the best things I ever did. I loved my subject matter and my students but the harassing chatter of academic “requirements” did not fit my introverted nature. I downsized life, salary, employment, and bought 26 acres in a poor, rural area thus initiating 23 wonderful years. Eventually age made access to at least semi-urban amenities necessary, but I did what was closest to my heart while I was young enough to do it. I am so glad I did.
Wow, that is big news—mazel tov!! I’m surprised/not surprised that you’re leaving academia. In Carl Jung’s words it maybe feels like you’ve been “walking in shoes too small for you.” All the best.
Life is precious and so are you, dear Scott. Thank you for inspiring us with your courage to follow your heart. To me you already are a magician (your book Transcend has had a major influence on me personally and professionally). I cannot wait to see your next wave of magic. With peace and love from Amsterdam
I can understand that you feel like u have to deliver more to us subscribers but I’m so greatful for the Spotify meditation you have shared. As a teacher with a light ADHD I really feel inspired to be me even if I doubt my capacity a lot because my job is so challenging but utterly meaningful. I’m so happy to know that you want to do more for students and teachers.
Oh my goodness, these are such exciting develops!! I can’t wait to see them come to life. My team and I are also putting together our first interactive show, based on the workshops we have been doing using the voice as source of inspiration, respiration and embodied aspiration. Yes—bring in that Opera for sure!!! Rock it out and if I can ever be of any help in any way, please let me know! ✨✨
