  • Sunday 9 August 2pm - Friday 14 August 1pm

    Speech Course

    A week of exploring English speech and speaking English poetry 

    Sunday 9 August, 2pm – Friday 14 August, 1pm  

    Monday to Thursday: 10am – 5pm  

    Lunch break: 1pm – 2pm 

    Join two professional speech artists, Lindsay-May Dearlove and Sarah Kane, for an embodied exploration of English poetry. Every day of the five-day workshop will consist of sessions to develop the essential tools of speech, breathing and articulation, and to refine how we speak poems by such writers as Shakespeare, Shelley, Hopkins and T.S. Eliot. 

    This course aims to refresh and restore each of our souls with the help of the majesty, beauty and dynamism of the English language. It is open to anyone with a love of English poetry and willing to work at conjuring the magic of words. 

    Please bring soft-soled shoes and comfortable clothing suitable for movement, as well as a poem in English you would like to explore and perform. 

    Fee: £550.00 

    Bursaries available, please enquire by July 21

  • Friday 4 September
    7pm - 9pm

    with Jolanta Bielawska

    A women’s circle — a space where you can be yourself, share what feels important to you at this moment, feel, listen to other women, and see yourself reflected in their eyes. A place where you can feel safe — without judgement, grounded in mutual respect, support, and the warmth of togetherness.

    In a fast-paced world, it seems more important than ever to slow down, gather together in real spaces, and build supportive communities. Our longing to be heard, truly listened to, and to feel connected deserves to be nurtured and cared for.

    Come as often as suits.

    Suggested and optional donation of £5 - £15

    If coming for the first time or you have questions please email Jola Bielawska:

  • Saturday 5 September
    12pm - 3.30pm

    *with Jolanta Bielawska 

    Join us for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon where we’ll slow down, connect, and create something special together.

    Candle making is a gentle, mindful process. It invites us to be patient, to slow down, and to move with care. As the wax melts and settles, we allow ourselves to do the same — softening, pausing, and simply being present in the moment.

    We’ll enjoy the delicate scent of natural beeswax, pour warm wax into moulds, choose our wicks, sip tea, chat, laugh… and take our time. No rush. No pressure. Just a cosy, creative space to unwind and make something beautiful with your own hands.

    You’ll take home the candles you create.

    If this feels like the kind of afternoon you’d enjoy, I would love for you to join us.

    We will be working in small group.

    Total entry: £45
