After a wonderful weekend sharing Qigong and enjoying nature/massage/creative dance/silence in Tekapo at Breathe Tekapo Festival, I'm back on the computer in prep mode...

'Pause - Diagnose - Respond' is a presentation I'm preparing and will deliver to workshop owners and managers in Fiji at the Auto Super Shoppes conference next month. We will explore how to recognise when the human nervous system is under pressure and how to apply fast & effective techniques that allow for continued high performance over time.

I really enjoy preparing presentations and workshops for diverse audiences in a way that feels relevant and useful for that group. It helps to have an Auto Super Shoppes branch ourselves (North End Motors Geraldine), so I have first-hand knowledge of the stresses of the modern workshop environment!

Silent Retreat
Poem written by John Graham on Peel Forest Silent Retreat May 2026.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful reflection, John, and for giving permission tor me to read it aloud.

SILENT RETREAT
For all who came before,
For all who wish to see;
It is not the single I,
It is the collective we.

At times it is forgotten,
At times we cannot see;
The path becomes misleading,
Lost right at our feet.

But within comes a silver lining,
When we choose to simply be;
A shimmer reveals the light,
Towards the path we must seek.

So we find ourselves together,
Here, now, free;
Strangers of all walks,
Seekers taking lead.

Now begins the work,
Though no one else will see;
Nomadic in its essence,
As one we do proceed.

The task is never easy,
Nor is it a great feat;
Yet within, we find our centre,
Within, we find our peace.

The sun rises and sets,
Days long, short, sweet;
A truth breaks through the silence,
Of why we came to be.

Now the work is done,
Never to be complete;
Perhaps again we’ll be together,
On another silent retreat.
