Remembering Jan Roe
For those who attended Radix Workshops, from early years in Tooting, via Bosa in Sardinia, to the New Forest, Jan Roe will be a viivd presence, full of vitality, courage, curiosity, and creativity.
Jan was a gifted artist, capturing movement in the moment in Radix, in Qigong, in dancers and scaffolders with bold and dashing strokes. Along with Theo she was a keen student of Denton Roberts, and Able & Equal, systematically putting his ideas into practice and seeking our rare texts.
It was Jan's encounter with cancer that inspired me to restart the Qigong sessions earlier this year, and to choose Cancer Research, and Lewis Manning Hospice as the charities to support with people's contributions.
Sadly, Theo has let me know,and asked me to let you know, that Jan died, peacefully, on July 3rd. She was at home with her family around her. Of course e hold Theo and their children in our hearts.
I have added a picture of Jan and a sampler of her drawings to begin.
Please add your thoughts and images.
