Hi friends. As you know we were unable to continue with Amber Mountain for a range of reasons. I'm now establishing a little consulting firm (just myself) and am hoping you will all be comfortable that I'm re-purposing the Amber Mountain page. If for any reason you feel called not to follow this new venture, of course I will completely understand. It just seemed logical to use the base that was already here to create something new. I'll have more to say in coming weeks, including letting you know about some retreats and training I'll be running. For now just explaining the little changes and flagging there will be more information to follow, love and peace, Faorligh

STORY
The current theme we are exploring is story .... story or narrative is such a deep part of being human. All cultures have stories, in fact Tahir Shah is quoted as saying "stories are a communal currency of humanity". Story is at the heart of the work we do ... Therapeutic Life Story Work privileges the child's story, their truth and the need to integrate that narrative and have mastery over it. As Maya Angelou said "there is no greater agony than an untold story inside you". Stories are powerful - they can be used to protect privilege, to create change, and to understand and make meaning in our lives. When we explore and understand out stories (including the painful parts) we enable ourselves to move beyond. As Brene Brown explains "when we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story we can write a brave new ending".

Thanks Van Badham for this great shot of the statue of Millicent Fawcett a leader in the suffragist movement, unveiled last year in London. We love the notion that courage calls to courage everywhere. Courage can be a unifying force, a core element of our human experience ❤️
