Every nursery school in England faces cuts as high as 30% or even closure next year. That's why I just signed a @schoolcuts petition to save our nursery schools now. Will you sign too >> https://t.co/C1De7wWAfg

'As a river cannot flow higher than its source, so a society cannot be judged higher than the way it treats its women' ... (just reading the intro to 'Power & Control' by Sandra Horley and came across this Emmeline Pankhurst quote - perfect on #InternationalWomensDay).

Taking a turn around Hilly Fields early this morning was delighted to see this heart of Christmas trees. Beautiful light, the crunch of frosty grass underfoot, encountering something joyful and unexpected made me feel hopeful and connected #ilovebrockley

Really enjoying spending some time this weekend digesting 3 days of inspiring Compassion Focussed Training with @ProfPaulGilbert. So many insights into how a compassionate mind can do so much to help relieve the struggles of mind and body. #compassionatemind #CFT

Back from my Breathworks teacher training retreat at the stunning Vajrasana in Suffolk. Challenged, stimulated and inspired by the exceptional teaching, exquisite crafting of the courses - the organisation embodies all it stands for. Deeply humanising. Thanks @BreathworksMind!

A fascinating article; “The therapeutic power of mindfulness lies, at its very heart, with the paradox of letting go of the need to fix in order to heal.”

Not a bad commute to work! Loving how snow brings people together to wonder, talk, play, worry a bit and laugh a lot...

Great short video explaining the link between the frontal cortex and the amygdala and how #mindfulness can help us strengthen this so we are not quite so reactive: https://t.co/N5FXqKE5yR
