    Men, you are warmly invited to gather in circle.

    This is a safe and steady space to slow down, arrive as you are, and sit alongside other men in a calm and grounded way.

    Together we create a space of trust where each man is welcome — to share what feels present, to listen deeply, and to speak from the heart.

    Through honesty and connection we are reminded that we do not have to carry life alone.

    Come as often as feels right.

    Suggested optional donation: £5 – £15

  • Thursday 17 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

  • Sunday 27 September
    2pm - 5pm

    with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson 

    Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation, arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It works with the rhythms of the movements of the sun, moon, planets and stars to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It will be early autumn, so we will focus on sharing seasonal tips for ‘extending’ the season, harvesting and preserving. We will also share the results of some research into biodynamics, which really shows the benefit that it can bring to our soil and food crops. For the last hour we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes, street trees or house plants an autumn treat!

    Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience in biodynamic gardening.  

    All are welcome, no need to book.

    Cost: Full £10, Concession £5 – pay at the door

    An autumn exploration through movement and poetry

    with Sara Hunt

    Discover Eurythmy through creative movement and poetry, working with rhythm, sound and gesture together with simple choreographed forms. Against the backdrop of the changing seasons we will experience how movement can deepen and enrich the spoken word.

    Open to everyone

    No previous experience needed

    Join us for one session or several throughout the term.

    Wear comfortable clothing and soft-soled shoes.

    Sara Hunt trained in Eurythmy at West Midlands Eurythmy and completed a Masters in Eurythmy Education at Alanus University. With many years’ experience teaching in Steiner schools and working with adults in health and fitness, her approach brings together movement, imagination and wellbeing. She enjoys making Eurythmy accessible and relevant, creating opportunities for people to experience movement as a source of creativity, connection and vitality.

    £10 per session · £8 concession

  • Friday 27 November
    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
