Festival issue out now!

The festival issue of Self & Society is out now, and I hope those of you who are members of AHPB have received it. There's a taste of the weekend for those who didn't come, and for those who did a chance to relive some of the high points. Your feedback and additional thoughts are always welcome.

If you're not a member and would like a copy, please send a cheque for £5 made out to AHPB to Julian Nangle, 12 South Walks Road Dorchester DT1 1ED. Please note there are no free copies of this issue available. Or of course, you could join, get your copy, and a discount on next year's festival. The plans are well underway and Julian has booked Diane Glouberman, founder of Skyros and Andrew Samuels, as well as a return visit from Seize the Day, as well as drumming, singing, Chi Kung, dreamwork, poetry, meditation, drumming, singing, shiatsu and much more. Plus the children’s festival!

Booking forms will be out early next year.

Being alongside my mother during her illness over the past two months has raised a stronger interest for me in death and dying. As well as dealing with some of the issues first hand, I've put in plans for an issue of Self & Society next year. If anyone wants to write for it, or has suggestions, please get in touch.
