A few times a year I take on private work. It is the same method as everything else here, at a depth the courses and the membership cannot reach: my eyes on your body, a plan written for you, and a beginning and an end.

There are fifteen to twenty openings a year, and I choose them from the applications below. Most people who write get a warm no and a place in the next group. Some get a yes.

Tell me what you are carrying, what you have tried, and why now. I read every application myself, once a week.
