He is coming to the UK this October with his wife to run a long weekend in Penrith. I've applied to go. If you are interested, details are below:

Talking Circles
30th October 2018, 2-4pm £10
Talking circles is one of the ways that indigenous populations sort out issues. They enable people to be heard and for a deep listening to occur. Communication is in a strikingly different mode from standard western ways of talking and listening. The effects can be profound in even a short time. This method marked the foundation of restorative justice

Getting the Magic back into Medicine
30th October, 7-9pm £10
Getting the magic back into Medicine shows how a GP working closely with a psychotherapist can achieve so much more by seeing and hearing the whole person. Their enthusiasm for their craft is infectious. Previously GPs have sent thanks to them both for reminding them of the reasons they became doctors.
