Dirty Mimes @ Highgate Society

Jul 24 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm

If you like your cabaret down and dirty – Las Vegas style – then this is for you. Featuring artists from Cirque du Soleil and the crème of world cabaret, Dirty Mimes is a show without boundaries, without control. They’re here to get into trouble and they want you to join in. There might be some Mime. It might be rude. There’ll be lots of anarchy. But it’s as funny as hell.

Choral concert: High Summer Holds the Earth @ St Mary Brookfield Church
Tickets
Jun 18 @ 7:30 pm – 9:15 pm

Glorious and good-natured music for a summer evening: acclaimed London chamber choir Voxcetera have invited the brilliant Edinburgh ensemble Rudsambee to join them for a joint concert of choral musical, ranging from Tudor anthems to the present day.

The programme includes Samuel Barber and Morten Lauridsen‘s spinetingling arrangements of Sure On This Shining Night; anthems by Biebl, Byrd, Tallis and Weelkes; settings of Shakespeare songs by Shearing; James MacMillan‘s haunting and unmistakeably celtic The Galant Weaver; and folk songs by Reger.

Two great choirs, much great music, one lovely evening.

Rudsambee Company of Singers, conductor Ciara Coleman

         Mindfulness Meditation Programme (8-weeks)

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. All attendees must be 18+ with any exceptions discussed prior to the beginning of the course.
