Important 2026 Update

Dear friends,

2026 is a special year for me. I look forward to completing two books and some projects with the Center for Action and Contemplation and ZOEoncampus.com.

The Great Rift, the second book in my Last Voyage trilogy, will release in the fall, and I plan to announce a few dates for podcast and media interviews relating to the book in September. Around that time, I also hope to announce my plans for public speaking in 2027-2029. I’ll share these and other updates here on my blog, brianmclaren.net.

I will only have two public appearances this year, at Southern Lights in late January and on Sanibel Island in early February.

Apart from these commitments, I will be taking a sabbatical — to spend time with family, celebrate my 70th birthday, address some health issues, and enjoy the gift of life without a pressured schedule.

As a result, I won’t be able to take on any new projects (reading/endorsing manuscripts, public speaking, etc.) between now and the end of 2026. Nor will I be able to respond to emails, except on a very limited basis, and will be largely absent from social media. I’m sorry for any inconvenience, and I thank you for understanding .

Blessings to each of you!

With love, warm greetings, and gratitude,
Brian
