Business and Meditation

When I wrote my previous post, my plan was to write an update every two weeks. It took me a grand total of three months to get the first followup out.

Synerba

The number one thing that has been keeping me busy has been the founding of my own company. On November 4th I finally filed in the papers and Synerba was born. Figuring out taxation, accounting, and even insurances has been surprisingly appealing as I feel I’m really working on something that is my own.

Of course founding a company is merely a beginning. As planned, I’ve been working on a handful of facilitation gigs, but most of my income this year has been coming in from web development jobs. I don’t intend to do the latter in the long term but they offer a good safety net on the short to medium term. Baby steps, baby steps.

Oh, and before you go looking, the official website for the company is not up yet but I did roll out a simple site for my web development services.

Winter Dathün

While the company has been my main focus as of recent, I will orient myself to something else entirely over the upcoming four weeks. This Saturday I’m namely heading off a four-week meditation retreat, the Winter Dathün with Reggie Ray.

The thought of spending the next 28 days practicing from morning until night hasn’t really sunk in yet but I’m slowly starting to feel both excited and intimidated by the idea. I will report back when I return.

Until then, enjoy the holidays and have a great start for 2011!
