Joined a mentorship program through my zen center and 🥲 cant rec enough 🥲 my mentor is amazing lady who used to do professional astrology reading but now runs the center and spends her free time doing habitat restoration and curling (?? so hardcore wtf). She sits by me during zazen and gives me a big hug every time i come in 😭
I convinced my fav professor from
undergrad to be my mentor despite many objections from her about “I don’t mentor students blah blah blah” and now 5ish years later it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Now I just get to hang out with someone I adore and admire on the regular and it just makes my heart soar every time we catch up. What a treat!
getting to learn from someone with a lot of wisdom and experience in your field feels so so special <333 feels primal somehow, too - i think it activates the part of my brain that evolved to absorb oral histories
Find yourself a great mentor!
This guy is mine, and I’m so glad I met him and have the privilege to work with him and learn from him and enjoy fresh baked banana bread at his house with his wonderful sweet wife (and my other mentor)
💟
