How better to meet random people in a pub then with a session of Bullshit Scrabble (make up the words, and justify them to your new friends) or over a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity (“a game for truly horrible people”)? Or maybe you fancy trying out the best game to ever emerge from Germany? That’s right, the ridiculous Camel Up.

And if that doesn’t get you going, we also have other lesser-known gems like Rapidough (dictionary with play dough), Story Dice (an imagination stimulator like no other) or the sublime Love Letter (think Tinder without smartphones or shallow hook-ups). For the traditionalists amongst you we also have a number of Argos-based stalwarts including Chess, Draughts, Backgammon, Risk, Monopoly, Game Of Life, Operation, Hungry Hippos, Guess Who, and many more.

Organised by local nutjob David Harrison – him and his merry men have been running a regression session in the Dungeons & Dragons Speakeasy out back for the last couple of months. If you want in on that as well drop him a line on David@kililive.com.

So, it’s time for another session of Highgate Coffee and Computers 
Do drop in this morning if you want a bit of one-to-one techi advice. Failing that, tell your mum or grandad about us!
All levels of know-how are welcome, from the totally blank face to the quite savvy computer or smartphone user. Even those who just want to see what it’s about and have a cup of coffee.

04 October, 10:30-12:30  – SAVE THE DATE! 

At our 04 October session, by popular request, we hand over to Leslie Jackson and Tom Lee from the Metropolitan Scam Safe Unit. Scams of all kinds happen every day in Camden, from PIN theft at ATMs to clever phone fraud. In this age of electronics, it can happen to any of us, at any time. 
 
In July alone Camden Borough residents made 148 reports to Action Fraud. Their losses total £537,330 or an average loss of £3,606 per report. 
 
The top three types of fraud are: 
False representation 43 reports £2,040 lost 
Online Shopping & Auctions 18 reports £3,656 lost 
Consumer Fraud 15 reports £31,199 lost 
 
The top three by amount reported lost: 
Payment Fraud £314,933 lost 9 reports 
Click Fraud £65,000 lost 1 report 
Banking Fraud £50,307 lost 9 reports   
 
But if we know what to look out for, we can easily stay clear of the scammers.
Les and Tom will demonstrate some simple but effective measures we can all take to best prevent fraud happening to us. 
 
Numbers are limited so please email to say if you’ll be joining us on Friday 04 October and if you’re bringing a friend
We hope to see you this morning.
Best wishes

Eight week Mindfulness Programme at Jacksons Lane @ Jacksons Lane
Apr 4 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

What is Mindfulness?

‘Mindfulness’ is at the very heart of meditational practice and trains us to focus on the present moment. This allows us to gain insight into mental patterns that sometimes cause negative emotions. We also learn, through experience what it means to spend less time with our thoughts and spend more time in our bodies enjoying life. It can be practiced by people from all walks of life and is becoming more and more popular as a means of psychological treatment. There is now a strong evidence base demonstrating that it can be very beneficial for those experiencing depression and anxiety, as well as many other conditions. Mindfulness allows us to make friends with our thinking mind making us less vulnerable to negative mental activity. Such practice can bring about a deep sense of inner peace and a fresh acceptance of reality itself.  

The Eight Sessions 

 This new and innovative group will take place over eight weekly sessions, each of 2-hours duration and covers the fundamentals of mindfulness meditation, applied theory and practice. Some aspects of CBT will also be used within the course syllabus where required to help group members to deal with dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviours. This specific group has been successfully taught in several London universities and also within the NHS. This group will help you to:

  • improve your focus and concentration levels
  • lower bodily stress and increase relaxation
  • explore how your mind works
  • explore how your mind habitually creates unhealthy thought processes and worry
  • help you to prevent the arising of depressive moods before they spiral
  • achieve a robust and healthy mind, accepting reality and the world around you
  • work towards acceptance of unhealthy emotions
  • achieve a deep sense of calm, patience and stillness
  • grow and mature as a true human being and explore what it means to be ‘me’

This will be particularly helpful for those people experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, attention problems or any condition involving a fast-thinking anxious mind.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE 

Commitment to the full x8 weekly sessions is imperative, as is the diligent undertaking of daily life meditation tasks between sessions. Only those people who are willing to make the commitment and complete the between session tasks should attend.   Places are limited to ensure a high quality of client support. This course is open to everyone but attendance must be booked in advance and approved by the course leader before the beginning of the programme.
