build it to last

Let the work that flows out of you, whatever it is that you do, serving others

Through your art, your ideas, your presence.

Let it come out whole, so that hundreds of years from now its soul is still there.

I’m reading an Anais Nin book.
It’s not one of her diaries, for which she became known in the 60s. Nor is it a collection of erotica, which were published shortly after her death although with her permission because she had been working on getting this oldest work of her released.

Instead it is a rare publication from the 70s, a collection of her lectures and transcripts of Q&A’s she hosted.
A Woman Speaks. I don’t think it ever got a reprint, which is a shame because it is astonishing how relevant it all still is.

2024 her work is helping me navigating the waters of digital writing.
Do I write for social media or do I aim for books like hers?
Books which are so fragile, because they are dependent on publishers who want to keep it in print.
They are not forever, the way digital publications are.

Although it is of course no strict line because a lot of what is in print is later on digitalized.

Anais Nin is said to have expressed a yearning for a way of communicating, that we would now call the internet.
It inspired the curator to publish a book called “A Café in Space”
Because her words had become so prophetic.

And by now, 2024, it seems like the words uttered in that café in space seem a lot more relevant, and sturdy, than the ones who have made it to print.
And I assume: More relevant than the books that are, current day, making it to print.

That going viral, in video of course, is automatically more relevant than what has gone through the painstaking process of being published into a book.

And yet holding that old book from the 70s, reading her words and letting this slow medium move me, decades after its release;
It stirred something in me.

In the timeless words of Carry Bradshaw;
I couldn’t help but wonder.

Shouldn’t we go back, allowing our work to get denser, slower, thicker, of more substance?
Not just writers, but any artist.

Shouldn’t we trade our Café in Space more often, for the work that fifty years from now, someone will find?
Being blown away, how much it matters.

You know the answer.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.
