Sadly had to miss out on this year's retreat but 2024's is penciled in my diary. It's a great few days of relaxation, learning, good food, walking, tai chi, wild swimming (for some) & lively discussions in the pub with a great group of people. Would highly recommend

Well worth a read. Thank you Tim Tim Atkinson for sharing

Ahead of my talk at the BPS retreat, I'm hosting an online talk and discussion next wk to explore some of the lessons learned from facilitating Paingeeks with co-founder Christine Petrides
