Recently, I was once again pondering what friendship really means and so I decided to send out a little survey to a bunch of my friends. It comprised of two simple questions - What is Friendship? & What is it Not? The response was wonderful - so in this, the first of two parts, I am reading out those replies.

Enjoy! Jill x

Oscailt, which is the Irish word for ‘open’, is an invitation to all of us to be open to the resources we all have within us. As an integrative health centre Oscailt sees health and well-being as more than the absence of illness. Oscailt is a place where we can learn to draw on our own inner resources to bring about well-being and nourishment for our body, mind, heart and spirit.

As a community of health and well-being practitioners, part of our mission at Oscailt is to support each other in our various disciplines, thus being better able to provide a warm and welcoming service to the local and wider community who come through the door to us.
