I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

@article29 Thank you for sharing this @article29! Very beautiful writing indeed and loads to think about - different scales of time especially …..

Beautiful writing. @tracingautonomy

Such a fun & generous workshop with @LauraSpring1 transforming space & playing with light, colour & sound. Thinking through the creative potential of communication without language. #autonomyofpractice #tracingautonomy

At the beautiful @wcdtgarden for conversations + actions with artist #JimColquhoun for #autonomyofpractice. Green ears, deep listening, slow movement with creaking trees & music making with garden finds. Jim added play & aleatory to the terrain of practicing autonomy with others.

@redrufa It’s been an amazing week! The power of non-verbal communication and taking time to know the #youngadults as individuals with their own unique #communication. To build up this trust with them and their parents over time is a privilege #shortbreakstays #respite

A wonderful day @wcdtgarden! Green ears, deep listening & improvising sounds with garden finds with artist Jim Colquhoun for #autonomyofpractice. Jim added play & aleatory to the terrain of participatory practice. @CreativeScots

Fab day with @_stevenanderson reflecting on participatory practice + supported autonomy. Such a playful time using breath, sounds + voice. Steven added transitions, trust & numinous to the holistic terrain to deepen embodied understanding of care & autonomy. #autonomyofpractice

@chrisfremantle @redrufa @nicolanaismith1 @achwscotland @newLEAF_Trees @UK_Treescapes @indeterminacy_ Thanks for the reminder of Anne’s work on improvisation Chris! Do you have anything ready to share on your work with indeterminacy and uncertainty yet? While at Cove we spent some time listening to creaking trees 🌳

Time to reflect with @nicolanaismith1 as part of #autonomyofpractice. So many doubts during precarious times but recognising strength in what we do know: working with care, rigour, authenticity & integrity. #practitionerwellbeing #participatorypractice #artsforhealth

@jeniampearson @redrufa

Rare time to play with slow movement, voice & colour at @CovePark developing ideas for #autonomyofpractice. Keeping in mind the young adults with complex neurological conditions that we’re working with. Thinking about our own autonomy as practitioners. @CreativeScots

@jeniampearson @redrufa

Voice work with @autonomaniac #nadinegeorge #VoiceStudioInternational as a shared embodied start to conversations around practice, care & relational autonomy. Creativity in the cracks, leaving space for the next sound, meaning outside of language & trust. @CreativeScots
