Maren Rei · A three-day expedition

After the Drop

A Deeper Rise

What if the best part of the festival was the first glimpse of your future?

The lights go down. The wristband stays on your wrist a little too long. But something about the person who answered the music may be worth bringing home.

After the Drop: A Deeper Rise by Maren Rei — book cover
What this book offers

A glimpse is not the end of the story.

The festival gave you uncommon conditions. The freedom, daring, tenderness, delight, and ease of connection you felt were among your own human capacities. This book asks what happens when you begin making room for them elsewhere.

Through seven sensory and relational expeditions across three days, After the Drop invites you to move beyond remembering what happened and investigate the possibilities that appeared. The five cards below are free companions to the book's complete exercises.

The festival was a glimpse. This is where we investigate what the glimpse was pointing toward.

01 · Return

Thirty Seconds Before

Find a safe memory worth revisiting. Begin just before the moment. What was underfoot? What sound was approaching? What was the air doing? Notice a small gesture or feeling, then return to the room you're in now.

02 · Conditions

Collect the Conditions

Which people, permissions, surroundings, rhythms, and absences contributed? Choose one condition that you could create responsibly in another setting.

03 · Permission

Find the Door

What did you permit yourself to feel or do? Give that possibility a small, tangible gesture. Design one real-world expedition with a time, a place, and genuine room to be surprised.

04 · Invitation

Give It Company

Whose presence enlarged your experience? Offer specific appreciation without requiring an answer. Or invite someone into a shared experiment and make room for their own desires.

05 · Evidence

The Seventh-Day Return

What did you do? What changed in your behavior? What delighted or nourished you? What deserves an adaptation or another attempt? Some beautiful moments can stay memories.

Care · Always

Your Body Gets a Vote

Safety, rest, hydration, cooling, nourishment, and appropriate support come first. Skip or change any exploration that becomes distressing or unsuitable for your circumstances.

This page offers reflective creative practices, not medical care or treatment. If you're severely distressed or medically unwell, seek qualified help.
