Such a gorgeous day today- only 11 of us so was really able to talk about the thorny bits, the layers of the work, the more nuanced areas. These thinking spaces post training where we can reflect and just chat with no agenda or slides are often my fave and so meaningful

Last week we did 2 days training on thinking about some of the multi layered impact of supporting those who are within an asylum seeking & refugee context-today we have a thinking space day to deepen & enrich our thinking without slides or set content.

So much pain, loss, sadness, and horror continues in Sudan- yet so little noise, so few headlines. Got 2 catch ups this week w orgs I support there. Heartbreaking. So much layers of hurt & pain.

A recurring theme in recent thinking spaces, supervision, & my support of research projects has been the role of joy, embodied wisdom, healing, hope, creativity, fun, & play. Not in a way that denies pain or complexity, but that honours balance & the both/and.

Due to my health, my back, writing my next book, & work schedule I haven’t been back in my art studio for months (have taught some friends but not my own). So i was delighted to be back in there this morning getting into my flow zone. Love it! Work in progress. #enrichedtexturebykiki

A full & powerful day- 8 one-to-one spaces with a Virtual School. We’ve been doing them for years so such connecting relationships. Such variety: from systems & policies that can help or harm, to specific children & pieces of work, transitions & beyond.
