You lie in bed exhausted - somewhere in between asleep and awake.

Coffee. Hot. Yum. 

Between the first sip of coffee and the last, you

• Scroll your insta-feed,

• Respond to a panicked email from a client,

• Listen to news about the latest changes to Covid regulations,

• Put away the dishes from last night. 

Between driving to your daughter’s play and taking your dog to the vet, you call clients, send invoices, and answer messages.

Between lying in bed and falling asleep, you make a mental note of all the tasks you have to do tomorrow, and the ones spilling over from today, yesterday, & last month.

More tasks, more things, more thoughts, more expectations…
MORE

Faster internet speeds Faster response times, faster delivery times…
FASTER

More breaths. Faster breaths. Shallow breaths.

 Your in betweens get smaller, shorter… crammed.

you find yourself standing at a massive, gaping in-between, 

• a career you want to leave, and a dream you don’t yet have;

• the married you, and you newly single;

• a home bustling with kids (off to college), and an empty house; 

• employed, fired, or retired

Between - enjoying a coffee with a loved one, and making peace with their passing away. 

Having to make big choices between: 

• staying or leaving a long-term relationship or secure job. 

• having or postponing having kids and building a family. 

And between having to figure out how to BE DIFFERENT, and CHOOSE DIFFERENT without blowing up your life.

You feel suspended, ungrounded, unpolished, unfamiliar to yourself….. Not in control.

This in-between gets bigger & longer. 

In between where you were and where you are.
In between where you are and where you want to be. 

The in-between grows.

BARDO - A Tibetan word that means: “intermediate state”.

It is the place in between, 

In between being born & dying,
In between working & playing,
In between being conscious & asleep,

It is the space in between,
In between one breath & the next
And one action and the next.

A Bardo is the doorway that leads to new possibilities.
Every disruptive innovation was born from a Bardo. 

A Bardo is the space of heightened mental & even psychic abilities.
A Bardo is the charged silence a skilled negotiator uses to close record deals. 

A Bardo is where you go when you are in the zone.
A Bardo is in that moment before Neymar scored Brazil their first Olympic gold medal.

A Bardo is where you are before you reinvent yourself.
