As our year comes to its close we have much to celebrate, so many good news stories for friends and colleagues, including our courageous and committed clients and the wonderfully gifted Oasis staff and practitioners. One way or another, each and every one, seeking a better world for all.

Just as the shorter day draws us to go within and ‘hygge’ down at this wintery time of year, so did our last RAW session of this year.

There’s an old adage in the scientific world. It suggests that significant change in any field of thought comes with the death of a leading light. It’s only then that new and different approaches open up new avenues of exploration and experimentation. Death precipitates a paradigm shift. As an aside, I’ve come to believe that the same is true in life generally: each death is also a liberation, even if we don’t realise it at the time.
