2018 Malham Summer school 1-2 June 2018

From Anthony Glaister

It’s been 18 years since ANM started running summer schools for members and invited guests. This year’s surpassed our expectations with the great Scottish mediator John Sturrock joined by Jane Gunn. Suffice to say we went away renewed and reinvigorated and ready not just to take on the challenges that come our way, but to seek new challenges pro-actively. So Richard Holloway’s book ‘Waiting for the last bus’ will have to remain on our reading lists for a while yet as too much beckons as one strives to be ‘humbly audacious’ by ‘breaking the rules without breaking the process’. Opening our hearts minds and souls to each other was yet again what we expect from spending a short while together in Malham Tarn, which we all found so endearing, humbling and indeed cathartic. It was very special. Those fortunate enough to have chosen 2018 to come to the summer school were unanimous in their appreciation to John and Jane for once again giving us such a valuable mediation retreat.
