Back at my desk…brain reconnecting…

Hi all,

So I am back, and have been catching up with PGs hearing that the Theory Intensive was a great success. This is wonderful, and just as it should be!  Thanks to all of you who contributed to making it such a rewarding week.

While away I happened to hear on Radio National an All in the Mind programme with Iain McGilchrist discussing his work on the relations between the two hemispheres of the brain. It was a very interesting interview and I think directly relevant to our concerns in exploring the nature of the creative mind/body. You can hear it on the “All in the mind” site on the ABC Rad Nat website and you can download the introduction to his book “The Master and his emissary” which i believe will be available here in October.

Highly recommended!!!

see you all soon, Ruth
