(1) Dear All ... Happiness (in Action).
 Mahatma Gandhi said, 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. With these words, I welcome you to the Krysan web pages where planting golden seeds is my business. For instance, look out for HEALING WORDS ... on the side menu.

(2) Search our Site ... A Quick Tip (for busy people). Simply click on SEARCH OUR SITE on the side menu to carry out a 'keyword search' of the entire website. This useful facility will help students, researchers and others with an interest in emotional wellbeing. Recommended. Alternatively, scroll down for a quick fix on a few selected pages.
(3) Madame Butterfly ... Mindfulness (in Action).
The year 2001 was a milestone for me: I walked through the gate of love and my life changed forever. Ten years have passed and, after a life-time of doing, I have discovered a quality of being that has nothing to do with circumstance. Click on MADAME BUTTERFLY for more - much more.
(4) School of Life ... Being (in the Moment).
If the SCHOOL OF LIFE has taught me anything, it is that the ancestors had a point when they proposed a simple religion with no need for temples and no need for a complicated philosophy. Their every-day experience suggested that our own brain and heart is our temple; their every-day philosophy was based on kindness and a quiet mind.
(5) Walk the Walk ... Recovery (in Action).
In WALK THE WALK I introduce the Wee Highlander, Lorraine Nicholson. Lorraine is a poet, writer and artist with a new book called The Journey Home. This magnificent find tells an often heart-wrenching story about recovery from severe depression. Meet up with Lorraine (and me) again in the most recently added page, A LEARNING CURVE.
(6) I Have a Dream ... Transformation (in Social Work training).
Welcome to a timely article about new developments in social work training. So be on the look out for I HAVE A DREAM and also REACHING OUT which references a highly recommended book on relationship skills for those entering health and social care professions.
(7) A Peopled Wound ... Accepting voices (in Durham). Read about Krysan's link with Hearing the Voice project at Durham University. Find out about the message social psychiatrists Dr. Marius Romme and Sandra Escher brought with them from Holland in A PEOPLED WOUND. Read a quick response in I AM WHAT I AM.  A related article is DREAMS FOR SALE which welcomes yet another contributor to Durham's Hearing the Voice project. She is psychologist and author, Professor Gail Hornstein. Her latest book - Agnes's Jacket - is a must read. Watch out for more and also DETAILS of an open lecture at the university in March 2012.
(8) Coal mining in Old Durham ... History (in Action).
Clicking on PUBLISHING will take you to the true stories in COALMINING and to a unique collection of jokes in PIT TALK. The jokes are in the old Durham dialect and, like the stories, are the result of research by the late Laurie Moran, a Durham miner and family friend. Click here for a tour of the beautiful Durham City.
(9) Speakers Bureau ...  To: Marian Moore
Sent: Friday, 1 April, 2011 Subject: Speakers Bureau
Dear Marian,
We’re just writing to let you know that we officially handed over the running of the Speakers’ Bureau to the Mental Health Foundation yesterday. We’re delighted that you’ve decided to stay on – in fact, most members will be continuing and we expect the Speakers’ Bureau to flourish with its new hosts.
The Mental Health Foundation will be writing to you shortly.
Thank you so much for all you’ve done for the Speakers’ Bureau – you’ve been one of the most active members and have taken part in some significant interviews and events. Since it started, around 500 interviews and public speaking engagements have been undertaken, and there has been a notable and positive change in attitude by the media towards mental health issues. This has only been possible because of the determination to tackle mental health stigma by members like you.
All the best for the future,
Ben, Sue and Kipp

QUOTATION FOR SAFE KEEPING
♦ Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret,
and in exchange gain the Ocean.
Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honour,
and in the arms of the Sea be secure.
Who indeed should be so fortunate?
An ocean wooing a drop!
In God's name, in God's name, sell and buy at once!
Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls!
Rumi ♦
