Art of Life

My blogs

Location	London, England
Introduction	These blogs are explorations of adult emotional development and how understanding it can help us to live. I am a retired psychiatrist, mother and zen-based mindfulness teacher. In this blog I try to look the reality of life and death squarely in the eye. I am aware this is not for everyone. If you are squeamish about the idea please consider this your trigger warning.
Interests	Mental health, personality psychology, zen buddhism, textile art
Favorite Movies	Harvey: Jimmy Stewart as a man whose best friend is a 6 ft 3 white rabbit and while everyone around him is stressing about that, he is quietly making friends. Groundhog Day, and the moving new version on Amazon Film, Before I Fall.
Favorite Music	Romantic era classical, anything I can dance to
Favorite Books	Julian Daizan Skinner Practical Zen, Lois McMaster Bujold Vorkosigan Saga, Ben Goldacre Bad Pharma.
