I am seeking volunteers for a research project about secret lives. My goal is to better understand why people choose to live a secret life of any kind, and to explore the astrological patterns of those who are living - or have previously lived - a secret life.
Please fill out this form if you have previously or are currently living a secret life. I am open-minded about what a "secret life" might mean (some examples are included in the form below). The main requirement is that this is a significant part of your identity that you intentionally keep from most (if not all) people in your “real” life.
If you are selected to participate, I will contact you directly to schedule an interview and astrology reading (approximately 1.5 - 2 hours long). I may ask for follow-up sessions, but I hope to keep your time commitment to a minimum. I am only seeking 12-15 people for this project, each living a different type of secret life. There may be a second project in the future where I need 100+ participants, so if you are not selected for this first project then I will keep your information and contact you for the next one!
YOUR REAL IDENTITY WILL NEVER BE REVEALED. Anything you write in this form will only be seen by me, Ryan Marquardt. If we move forward with an interview & astrology reading, I will sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) so you can feel comfortable sharing your story with me discreetly. This is a confidential, compassionate and judgment-free process.
Final Result: I will share more details about the project with each participant before scheduling your interview & astrology reading. Once complete, I plan to release my findings publicly. Again, your real identity will never be revealed. Pseudonyms will be used for every participant in the final product. All participants will receive a free copy once the project is complete.
Thank you!
Ryan Marquardt
