Wide Space on a Narrowboat
In this soothing episode Paul Kleiman, Senior Consultant at Ciel Associates, explains how he found a slower pace and a feeling of space and calm through narrowboating.

We explore the importance of small rituals to mark out sacred time for ourselves and help us to focus wholeheartedly on slower moments that can refresh and restore us. Trigger warning: Please note that this episode makes reference to child loss. Produced at UWE Bristol.
