Just back from @Realisation2024 which went particularly well this year.

We even managed to sneak in a little chess on the side.

The rooms and places all have names, and what was previously just an unassuming corner is now
“The chess terrace.”

An article about the practice of #improvisation, and a chance to buy one of the last few tickets for @Realisation2024 later this month.

Turn on BBC One now and you'll see our very own Mark Vernon @platospodcasts talking about anger and emotional intelligence.

[Jonathan Rowson @Jonathan_Rowson]

My highlight of @Realisation2023 was interviewing @RoryStewartUK

We talked about many things, including his discomfort in the ease of rhetorical performance and his love of silent retreats.

"The most fundamental task is to help each other to reorient our life and work through a sensibility that is prefigurative of the better aspects of our emerging future."
