Finally I can confirm my research Mak-Mind workshops in partnership with Maggie's Forth Valley on 7 and 21 June, at this beautiful centre in Larbert. Could one ask for a more inspiring venue for a creative and contemplative workshop?! Pinching myself!

Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November.
Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.
