So what about a trial run retirement that is a sabbatical but has elements of what comes to mind when you hear retirement?

What will I be doing?

Whatever I feel like

I'll be focused on my hobbies 

I will not submit my work to publications outside of https://www.ololufe-collective.art/

I will not be pitching my work for grants

I will not apply for art residencies 

I'll be applying for basic artist income

I will be archiving and backing up my work 

I'll be resharing my art

I'll be reimagining my art

I will spend more time in and around water and bodies of water 

I will learn Yorùbá 

I will experiment 

I will not be doing any auditions 

I will spend time with my friends 

I'll be volunteering 

I'll be travelling 

I'll host virtual events 

I'll do mentoring and one day workshops 

Focus on my health
