Dialogue – Moi Tu Facilitation

Parks, pavements, buses…

I overhear many conversations about fathers, mothers, children. Illness, love, fragility, death. And how sad it is that we think our tears will burden someone else’s. So we hold it all in. We censor our own pain with fear and carefulness. And we become afraid of it. Round and round we go. A message pingsContinue reading “Parks, pavements, buses…”

What can ART teach us about facilitation?

Photo of author's chinese calligraphy practice on their desk. The subject being discussed in the written post appears on a white sheet of paper, with the calligraphy characters in black ink: Two characters: 開心 - romanised as hoi1 sam1 from the Cantonese pronunciation, meaning ‘happy’. Red patterned calligraphy seals appear above and beneath these two characters: the one above represents the calligrapher's benediction, the one beneath represents the calligrapher's name. Beneath this, to the left, is another character: 安 - romanised as on1 from the Cantonese pronunciation, meaning safety/peace.

At the time I was triggered by the war unfolding in Ukraine and specifically, the experience of refugees, past and present.

What’s your next wise move?

The odds are stacked against us.” These are recent words of a team leader, whose energy is depleted from long patient lists, frayed teams, unread inboxes and unfinished interactions with colleagues – with no satisfying closure on any of it. Welcome to a typical day in health and care? “Doing a greatContinue reading “What’s your next wise move?”
