Dear Subscriber First Name,In this newsletter, I’m sharing a brief personal update, a new article exploring how to approach Dharma study as a creative process, and information about the latest Dharma bundle—on how to deepen your practice through study and reflection. Spring is in the air, and once again, I’m on the move. For a long time, my wife and I have dreamed of living in the Swedish countryside, down south, and now the process of moving is finally starting. It’s strange, isn’t it? When you talk about something for so long, the moment it actually arrives feels almost anticlimactic. Today marks my wife’s last day at work — she’s been counting down for months. Now, it all feels a bit surreal. The future is never what we imagine it to be (I guess you can say the same about the past). Next week, we’ll revisit a house we’ve found, and the week after, our apartment will go on the market. For my British friends, it’s worth noting that buying and selling homes in Sweden usually moves much faster than back in the UK! Still, I’m trying not to count my chickens before they hatch — a habit of mine. I’ve decided to hit pause on a few projects as we settle into this new chapter. I want to leave room for new things to emerge, including the possibility of hosting Dharma gatherings in person if our new space allows. May’s Dharma bundle will be the last for now, though you can still sign up — I’ll be archiving all previous bundles for you to enjoy at your own pace. Looking ahead, I’m planning a couple of online courses for autumn and will keep sending out The Creative Buddhist newsletter. For this month’s article I have truly unleashed my inner nerd 🤓 Maybe you have an inner nerd too? A love of systems, of organising your notes, and indexing your files.
