A vulnerable moment with Anuradha

​Anuradha here.

​I've been sitting with and actively moving my feet on how to make this work feel more generative and more nourishing to myself and of course, nourish all of you in turn. I have been working from a place of burn out and chronic illness the past 2 years and it's getting to me.

​And I know I'm not suppose to share this, but I feel I need to, in full transparency. I've been barely paying myself half of the UK minimum wage the past 2 years. It's weird to admit that in a note to you all, but it's the real picture. Hence, I need to make this work more sustainable but nourishing me - because without me the course or any of the other SPCS things simply wouldn't happen or continue. It's a heavy thought to ponder. Because ultimately, I want this work to flourish - we'll need the wisdom, the connections, the praxis going forward. And I have met so many of you amazing people along the way.

It's really highlighting that I need better boundaries and long term support in the form of a part-time assistant.

​I've modestly increased the lower tier for our SPCS Foundation course this fall and added some new tiers, including a formal Business rate (with extra support and modules). I'm hoping these changes help me pay myself better (especially in this cost of living crisis) and have something to offer a part-time support person.

​Over the next few days, I'll be sharing some ways you can support our launch. And always, you're welcome to contibute monthly via our Patreon or BMAC.

​This month, we also have another wonderful SPCS Quarterly training with Jamie and Murphy- two SPCS alumni! It's on August 29th - you still have a few days to get your tickets. I'll share a bit more soon.

​In solidarity,

​Anuradha
