05/26/25 Patreon Update

Hello All,

You are reading this because, in some way, shape or form, you are on one of the many platforms this studio exists on, directly engaging our work. For that, I am incredibly grateful and hope you find something here that you feel connected to and want to further engage with.

A couple of big things have happened this weekend. First, we've changed around the perks for our Patreon tiers a bit to better fit the content and materials currently coming from the work we are doing right now. If you are new here, don't worry, this happens from time to time as the studio and the works grow and develop. Let's dive into some of those recent changes:

Perks For Patreon Subscribers -

• Sustain This Practice

• Suryah Radio via Spotify (Free)

• Earth and Botanical Color Lab—Moving into a new physical space has helped the studio greatly expand its color and pigment library. The research and its results will be published for patrons as it happens.

• Research and Reference Library

• Past Works Archive

• Power Of Practice Newsletter Archive - We will now be uploading either pdf or png files of the Power Of Practice Newsletter for patrons to access.

• "In My Hands" Audio Cast

• Open Source Publishing Library - We've uploaded articles and books in the past but have decided to expand this to include various of forms of published literary works.

• Studio Notes and Essays - As usual, these writings will continue to be posted on this platform but moving forward, they may also be posted to my Substack after 30 days or so.

• Free Access To Digital Products (MEDICI FAMILY ONLY) - The studio will soon be releasing more digital products as a means to generate income for the physical studio. Medici Family patreon members will receive access to those items free of charge.

• Access To Patreon Archive (MEDICI FAMILY ONLY) - After 1 to 2 years, the studio will begin archiving certain posts on this platform and making them exclusively available to subscribers at our highest tier.

We understand that this change is sudden but, I feel like it is a necessary and noninvasive shift to make my time and contributions to this platform more sustainable. Of course there are no hard feeling s for anyone reading this who decides to unsubscribe in protest of these changes. I hope you find what feels right for you wherever you end up next.

This weekend also came with adding two new post to the "Free and Unlocked Collection" on Patreon as well as the archiving of six posts that will now only be available to Medici Family patreon tier members.
