What does this ship mean to you?

A miniature homage to this year's Conference (UK) - 'Carnival of Canboulay: Masquerades and Dialogues about 'Race and Power' at play in Dramatherapy'.

It was momentous, powerful, painful, and radical, thanks to the extraordinary organisers, presenters, performers, participants and holders of space.

The first question posed: what does this ship mean to you?

The last task given: light a flame to what you're taking forward, or what you're leaving behind.

The task: use every day objects to make art, art that expresses what it's like manage one's own mental health at work, when working in mental health.

This was my piece in response to someone else's story, but probably resonates in some way with all of us.

All the pieces were a powerful call: we need to take time to check in with ourselves and our colleagues. Vital 💚

Had a crackin' time facilitating a team away day for in this amazing barn.

Powerful stories shared around individual journeys into the team, an art gallery of creative responses, a "campfire" session to tell the collective story of the team, and a "river of hopes".

We're sad we had to leave before the singing started!
