I just have kicked an old job in a department store, and now work almost for free as staff trainer and group trainer in a nearby hospital again, under special terms that are somewhat experimental and result of personal relations. I give courses for staff on Buddhist psychology models and Asian approaches to human mind, and have two patient groups - soon one or two additional ones - for relaxation practice and meditation, and where needed mild therapy as individual counseling. I base on Chan, Zen, Kum Nye, Gestalt, and use elements from Provocative and Hypnotherapy as well.

Working almost for free, since I can afford it and raised the according interest again, after some years brake. It is far from being a full-time job, of course, but keeps me busy for 2-3 hours on most days.

It is a privilege and very satisfying if you can pick your job voluntarily and to your liking, and can do it because you want to - not because you must. It also is pleasing if you get asked to do it. Seen that way I consider myself to be an extremely lucky guy.
