A bit of a ramble about how I got here… This turned into a personal one, so read if you wish, it’s a bit of a ramble — I hope you enjoy it! I thought I would try and write something about what I know, am aware of, & think…

What’s trust got to do with it?

Notes from a small conference

A very basic overview of Horticulture for Health (+ research) “The elephant outside the room”  My musings on #HorticultureforHealth start with this short overview from a small conference with a big message. I am increasingly drawn into discussions about, and interested in, developing people’s understanding about the connection between…

I hope you dance: & why I think putting people first might help you.

I hope you dance: & why I think putting people first might help you. When we’re young we dance at the drop of a hat (or less), as we become entrenched in organisational life we are less likely to do so. There is something about dance that connects us, with music, thinking, expression and, of course, with each other. I’m not about to suggest…

On the Ecology of Communications

…. & why reductionism isn’t working I’ll make no apologies for this being a rather more academic musing, bear with it, I think there’s something in this.  I’ve been pondering about communication.

Really interesting, Thea.

Really interesting, Thea. I am taken that the group recognised that moving too fast wasn't working, and that forming a definition isn't a driving factor! I have worked in Government, organisations & people who are so constrained by definition forming they don't move forwards - in fact, sometimes they lose sight of the outcome they're seeking because they're trying to define the journey. Thanks for this - I am looking forward to seeing what comes next!
