being invited to think about an educational workshop I participated in
\nnearly forty years ago got me thinking…<\/h4>\n

it’s interesting to recognise & acknowledge specific ways in
\nwhich people have contributed to, and influenced, us<\/p>\n

I had to dig deep to identify the massive contribution the transformational workshop made to me
\nall those years ago, and this evoked a desire to name some of my teachers, mentors, gurus and guides
\n…to honour them I have made a book<\/p>\n

\"book<\/a>it’s a one-off, handmade<\/strong> unique work<\/p>\n

\"Educators<\/a><\/p>\n

fairly arbitrary categories were chosen to create sections<\/p>\n

\"BodyMind<\/a>
\n\"ThinkingPhilosophy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Teachers<\/a>
\n(above) Teachers<\/em> before they were affixed!<\/p>\n

\"Creatives<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"Poets&Musicians\"<\/a>
\nand tucked into a glasseine envelope at the back of the book,
\nbelow, letter to a teacher
\n<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"letter+shadow\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

thankyou to Helen for asking to see the book
\n<\/em>which comes to you from<\/h4>\n

\"press<\/a><\/h4>\n

I made a choice not to include my friends, ancestors, neighbours, family,
\ndetractors, intimates, enemies, supporters, students, lovers, strangers, relatives –
\nie everybody<\/em> who has ever been in my life and has made me who I am…<\/p>\n

because the tome would be
\n\"enormous\"<\/a><\/p>\n
