Fascinating talk by #JeffKichaven on #mediation: “God, Moses & Mediation: What Ancient Stories Teach Us About Modern Dispute Resolution” hosted by #IPOS. 1 takeaway: mediators & lawyers can help parties turn from the conflict (snakes) and toward a reframing (brass serpent) of it.

It’s been 1 year since #mediation became a requirement in small claims of less than £10,000. HMCTS report that in the last 12 months they have conducted 43,000 mediations & settled 16,000 cases following an appointment. #adr

Miraculously, each of these photos of a #sunset over #RutlandWater were taken on the same day within around 10 mins or so of each other. Each photo (#nofilter) was taken from a different angle only a few metres away from the next, as I looked out across the water. Breathtaking.

A real privilege to attend the #wedding of a friend at Lincoln College, #Oxford. A lovely blessing ceremony was held in the chapel, followed by a celebration just across from the #Bodleian Library. The bride looked stunning in a vintage 1910 embroidered debutante gown.
