Hi Avivah - I am excited to hear more about the mid life programmes being offered by universities. Do I understand correctly that you will be covering these in Season 10 of the podcast series? Will you be talking to Directors of all the programmes, or just a few. I am openly biased towards universities based in Europe!

Yes, and will include all the European programmes and the new one in Singapore. Recording over summer and will air sept/ October.

Will be fascinating to see the similarities and differences and cultures of each.

Avivah, I love your mind and your ability to cull what's happening and what's out there. I of course resonate with what you say about Q4, being six years into it myself! And in this piece you mention one of my favorite thinkers, Robert Kegan. A dear friend of mine, now long gone, led me to his book and his "orders of mind" thinking -- and the simple but profound idea that while most of us will never reach that higher conscious, the more we can learn step outside ourselves, see objectively, and be able to hold two opposing thoughts simultaneously, the closer we get! I don't meditate; my spiritual practice is connecting. Others are "my teacher." If I am curious and open, I learn. (Footnote: Happy to hear you connected with my Crow's Feet podcast colleague Jane Trombley!)
