Two days of connection, learning and community at Oasis! 🌿

Yesterday and today, we've had the pleasure of welcoming our wonderful community of Oasis associates to the Oasis Centre in Boston Spa for our annual Oasis Practitioner Community gathering.

Bringing our associates together is always a highlight of our calendar. It's an opportunity to reconnect, share experiences, explore fresh perspectives and learn from one another, while strengthening the relationships that make our community so special.

With such a diverse range of knowledge, skills and experiences in the room, these gatherings remind us of the value of creating space to pause, reflect, challenge our thinking and continue developing our practice together.

And, of course, there's been plenty of laughter, meaningful conversations and delicious food along the way!

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us over these two days, bringing their energy, curiosity and generosity.

It's this spirit of connection, collaboration and shared learning that sits at the heart of Oasis Human Relations. 💚

We’re always delighted to see the work of our Oasis associates reaching into different spaces and conversations – and this one brings together two members of our wider Oasis community. 💛

On Monday 2nd November, Oasis Associate Virginia Méndez Mesón Méndez will be at HEART in Headingley, Leeds for Everybody Pays the Price - An Evening with Virginia Méndez.

The evening will explore how gender stereotypes begin shaping children from their earliest years, the limitations they can create for all of us, and what we as adults can do differently - at home, in schools and across our communities.

Rather than a lecture, Virginia is creating an evening of conversation, questions, stories and shared problem-solving - bringing research together with practical ideas for creating greater freedom for the children and young people around us.

There’s another lovely Oasis connection too: HEART is led by our Associate Pamela Reynell, who is Centre Manager there. It’s wonderful to see a space centred around community, creativity and connection hosting this important conversation.

📍 HEART, Headingley, Leeds
Monday 2nd November @ 6pm
Pay as you feel, with a suggested donation of £5

Something a little different is coming to Oasis this November… 🎨

From 6 - 8 November, we’re delighted to welcome The Sculpture Gallery, Leeds Corn Exchange to the Oasis Centre for a weekend celebrating sculpture, creativity and making.

Across the weekend, our spaces will be transformed with a Sculpture Exhibition, bringing together a varied collection of three-dimensional work from resident artists at The Sculpture Gallery.

You’ll be able to explore the work, meet some of the artists and discover more about the ideas, materials and processes behind what they create.

And if seeing the work inspires you to get creative yourself, there are two hands-on workshops taking place across the weekend:

👐 Clay, Creativity & Wellbeing | Saturday 7 November
Join artist titanic_pete for an illustrated talk exploring creativity, inspiration and wellbeing, followed by a practical and mindful clay-making session. No previous experience needed.

🪨 Stone Carving Workshop | Sunday 8 November
Join sculptor David Iredale for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to stone carving and traditional tools. Perfect for complete beginners who would simply like to have a go.

📍 Oasis Centre, Boston Spa
📅 6–8 November 2026

The exhibition and workshops are separate events and require separate bookings. Booking for the free exhibition does not include a paid workshop place.

🌟 NEW PODCAST 🌟

What does it really take to stay human when leadership gets hard?

When the pressure is on, expectations are high and there’s a demand to have the answers, it can be difficult for leaders to hold onto curiosity, openness and connection.

And leadership can be a lonely place.

🎧 In our latest Oasis podcast, Coaching Leaders Well: Staying Human in Complex Times, Dame Sally Dicketts DBE & Glyn Fussell explore some of the realities of leadership that perhaps aren’t talked about enough – and the role coaching can play in helping leaders navigate complexity without losing sight of themselves or the people around them.

It’s a conversation about leadership, coaching, loneliness, curiosity and the pressure to know.

If you work with leaders, lead others yourself, or are interested in what more human leadership can look like, we’d love you to give it a listen.

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7KxSKwdcoO1nj83kck5aat?si=1PJFa69rSE6c4MVVccsKxw

And we’d love to widen the conversation:

💬 What helps you stay human when leadership feels complex?

If something in the conversation resonates, please like, comment or share it with someone who might value hearing it too.

In a family business, a disagreement about the business is rarely only about the business.

History comes into the room. Relationships come into the room. Different generations, expectations, loyalties and responsibilities come too. And inevitably sometimes the most important things are the hardest to say out loud.

This month we held our second Beneath the Surface gathering in Yorkshire, a confidential space, this time, for family intimately involved in family businesses to talk about some of those things with others who understand the territory.

We were joined by experienced family business Chair Eva Fischer Hansen, who travelled from Denmark to be our inaugural conversation starter, sharing early insights from her forthcoming book.

Nick Ellerby realised that what has stayed with him the most wasn’t simply the content. It was the recognition in the room. Someone naming an experience, dynamic or question, and others immediately understanding.

There is something different about being with people where you don’t have to explain why family and business can’t simply be separated. Where there is a shared understanding of the complexity, humour, responsibility and sometimes tenderness involved.

It reminded him why creating spaces like this matters. Not necessarily to arrive at an answer. Sometimes it’s simply about having the conversation that hasn’t yet had somewhere to happen.

This underlying question to those involved in a family business: what are the conversations you think families find hardest to have – and what helps you through tough time? is the focus of a recent Oasis research project which we will be sharing at our next gathering.

In the meantime if you are in a family business and have thoughts you’d like to share – we are always interested in hearing more.

To respect participant confidentiality, photos feature organisers only.

Today marks the final day of our three-day Systemic Constellations programme, facilitated by the wonderful Luea Ritter from Collective Transitions.

Over the past few days, the group has been exploring different ways of seeing and understanding systems - paying attention not only to what is visible, but also to the relationships, patterns and dynamics that can sit beneath the surface.

A huge thank you to Luea for holding and guiding the programme with such care, and to everyone who has taken part and brought their curiosity, openness and experience into the room.

We hope everyone leaves today with new perspectives, useful practices and plenty to continue exploring.

If this work sparks your curiosity, we’re delighted to be bringing Systemic Constellations online from January 2027 - offering another way to experience and explore this approach with us - watch this space!

And for those interested in continuing their journey in Systemic Constellations, our Advanced Programme: Developing wider ways of knowing for personal, organisational and societal change begins in April 2027.

The programme runs across four 4-day modules:
22 - 25 April 2027
1 - 4 July 2027
22 - 25 September 2027
20 - 23 January 2028

When was the last time you really thought about your relationship with money? Not your budget. Not your salary. Not what you should be doing with it.

But the beliefs, stories and experiences that have shaped how you feel about money - and how those show up in your choices, relationships, work and sense of worth.

Money can influence far more than we realise. It can affect how comfortable we feel asking for what we’re worth. How we respond to scarcity or abundance. How we give, receive, set boundaries, take risks and navigate power.

On Thursday 8 October, Sophie Charrois will be facilitating Money as a Mirror at Oasis - a one-day workshop creating space to explore some of these often unspoken dynamics.

Through biography work, systemic constellations and creative, embodied practices, we’ll explore:

- The money stories you have inherited and accumulated
- The beliefs and behaviours quietly influencing your choices
- Themes of value, visibility, power, generosity and self-worth
- Where your relationship with money may feel stuck - and what might be ready to shift

For coaches and practitioners, the day will also offer approaches that can be adapted to conversations with clients, teams and organisations.

📅 Thursday 8 October 2026
⏰ 9.30am - 4.30pm
📍 Oasis, Boston Spa
💷 £195 including lunch

If something in this post has made you pause, perhaps that is worth exploring.
