In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean; a moment I’d envisaged for years. An experience completely different to what I’d imagined. Heartbreaking news of stage 4 cancer for one of my closest family members alongside other challenges. A chance to sit with profound loneliness and accept my powerlessness. Beautiful yet painful, delivering a clear message:
My heart calls for depth, commitment, closeness, routine and familiarity.
The majority of my adult life was spent on the wildest adventures, many of you have been here following along with me. It’s been powerful and insightful, enriching and humbling. But I no longer need adventure and novelty, now is a time for stability and security.
Again I have been directed back to the UK, a place I never thought I’d settle, yet exactly where I’m meant to be, in service to my family and my own needs.
My presence here online is also changing. I’m fed up of algorithms, insights and even word limits. No matter how honestly you share, it’s still some form of public presentation which feels off to me.
I value a simple and honest life with real heartfelt connections. I’ll still post here for work news and events but my deeper musings and vulnerable shares will be shared privately with a personal audience. No more ‘passive friendships’, people watching stories and posts to feel connected. Instead, monthly personally written emails free of formatting, software and scheduling. My words, in an old school email, to whoever wants to truly connect and write back to me too.
And over the next year or so, I’d like to gradually fade out of this space stripping back communication to phone, WhatsApp and old school emailing, funnelling my energy into fewer, more direct connections.
It feels scary in some ways to go in such a different direction to how the world is evolving but it also feels like I’m honouring something real.
So whether we’ve known each other closely or not, I’d love to connect with you in an open-hearted way.
If this speaks to you, comment or DM me to be added to my new manual email list and community WhatsApp group for early and discounted access to my retreats, classes and events.
With love,
always,
Han
