The Empty Chair...

At Christmas, absence can feel louder than anything else:
A chair that was always theirs.
A place that feels wrong to fill.
A moment that reminds you of everything that has changed.

Grief does not come with rules. Some families leave the chair empty. Some choose someone to sit there in honour. Some are still working out what feels right.

There is no correct way to remember someone you love. There is only what feels manageable, together.

If this season feels heavy for you, you are not alone.

This Sunday, we are holding a quiet, gentle moment at The Gap in Son Caliu to remember those who are no longer with us.

Remembering Our Loved Ones
Sunday 21st December
11:00
The Gap, Son Caliu

Light a candle, sit quietly, share a warm drink, or simply be present. You are welcome to come alone, with family, or in support of a friend. A small moment of togetherness can help.

After 20 years in a secure medical career, Imke found herself asking the same question many of us quietly carry around:
“Is this really my life… or just the life I once chose?”

Her journey back to herself was inspired by our 8-week programme, Dare To Be You. It’s for people who’ve spent years doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected from who they really are.

If you’re at a crossroads… if you’ve been functioning instead of living… if you know there’s more in you than the world has seen so far… this course is your space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity and courage.

New courses start in February 2026:
• Online for those in the UK
• In-person at The Gap Café

Dare to be you. It might be the right moment to take your next step.

✨ Small joys count too.
A quiet morning.
A message from a friend.
A walk in the cold air.
A cup of something warm.

Not every moment needs to be magical, some can simply be gentle.

Here’s to finding little pockets of peace this Christmas period.

We’re grateful to share some lovely feedback from BIC - Baleares International College, Sant Agustí 's latest newsletter following Gary’s Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month talk with students in Years 10–13.

The session focused on helping young people understand what mental health really is, the pressures they face, and how to recognise when something isn’t right.

BIC highlighted how Gary encouraged students to:
• recognise early signs of poor mental health
• speak openly, especially young men who may feel unsure about asking for help
• stay connected, talk honestly, and seek support when needed

These conversations matter.
When young people learn early on that their feelings are valid, that they’re allowed to ask for help, and that they’re not alone, they build stronger foundations for lifelong mental wellbeing.

A huge thank you to the staff and students at BIC for welcoming us, and for recognising how important it is to talk openly about mental health with the next generation.
