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/

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.

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

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

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

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
