Shame can be paralysing. We often wear it like like a second skin and don’t realise it’s been imposed on us by others, primarily from childhood. We also tend to confuse shame with guilt. Ridding ourselves of toxic Shame starts with having awareness of what our personal shame triggers are, and beginning to challenge the so called “Truths” that we have swallowed whole and believe about ourself and the world: that we are too much, too needy, too weak, too angry, too stupid, too broken, too unlovable, too ugly.
Aim
- Learn how to distinguish between healthy and chronic shame,
- Understand how counselling can help build shame resilience,
- Inspect where shame may have infiltrated our lives and the silence and secrecy stopped us living to our full potential
- Notice how we react physically when our shame is triggered.
At the workshop there will be an opportunity to ask questions and to bring any issues to the table that you want to explore.
What?
- An explanation of shame and how it impacts us
- Demonstrations of working with shame in the therapeutic process,
- Discussions and Q&A
- Opportunity to meet the counsellors.
Who?
Samantha Arditti is a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP).
She trained in humanistic counselling at the renowned Gestalt Centre in London and prior to this worked for over 25 years as a campaigner for environmental, animal welfare and human rights organisations in the UK and also internationally.

The highly anticipated UK and European Premiere of Off-Broadway smash-hit comedy musical The Marvelous Wonderettes is being produced at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate Village, from 9 April until 12 May 2019, with Press Night on 11 April 2019 at 7.30pm.
Written and created by Roger Bean, the multi-award winning show opened in New York at the Waterside Theatre in 2008 to outstanding critical acclaim. It takes a cotton-candied musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School Prom, where we meet The Wonderettes: four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. The show follows their lives and loves from Prom Night to their 10-year Reunion.
This musical features over thirty hit songs from the 1950s and 1960s by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Neil Sedaka, Connie Francis and Dusty Springfield, including “Stupid Cupid”, “Son of a Preacher Man”, “I Only Wanna be with You”, “Secret Love”, “Lipstick on your Collar”, “Respect”, “Rescue Me”, “Dream Lover” and “Heatwave”.
Casting and Creative Team to be announced. The production is produced by Joseph Hodges Entertainment.
Tickets are now on sale from the Box Office at Upstairs at the Gatehouse on 020 8340 3488 or online at www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com. Performances run Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 4.00pm.

We are now taking bookings for the Summer 2019 term of Still Life – Introductory Art.
This weekly class offers both beginners and developing students the chance to explore their creative potential in drawing, focusing mainly on Still Life. During the term the class will explore essential drawing techniques – observation, perspective, negative spaces, mark-making and composition.
Taught by art tutor, Zoe Hirson, this is a general art course suitable for anyone looking to expand and practice their skill set. An informal, friendly and loosely structured class, Introductory Art allows participants to explore the areas and techniques that they find most useful.
The cost for the entire term is £205 (concessions £185).
An exhibition exploring the ecological implications of rewilding and the broader possibilities for rewilding human lives.
Curated by Anna Souter and Beatrice Searle.
Featuring Rodrigo Arteaga, Marcus Coates, Alannah Eileen, Julia Crabtree & William Evans, Michael Hautemulle, Hannah Imlach, Fiona Macdonald : Feral Practice, Beatrice Searle, Anna Skladmann and Amy Stephens.
Can we reverse human interference in the natural world? Can we create spaces where humans and non-humans can flourish through co-existence? Can we learn to recognise the complex networked consequences of our actions? Can we be ecological?
Symbiosis. Trophic cascades. Collaboration. Networks. Co-dependency. Rewilding.
Rewind/Rewild at OmVed Gardens explores the ecological implications of rewilding and the broader possibilities for rewilding human lives. Featuring artworks that foreground, analyse or challenge human relationships with plants, animals and landscapes, the exhibition also draws attention to human beings’ networked role in local and global ecosystems. Through the lens of the rewilding movement, Rewind/Rewild considers the need for humans themselves to re-engage with the natural world and discover a wilder way of living within the constraints of human society and consideration for others.
The glasshouses at OmVed Gardens offer an alternative model for viewing art: the trees surrounding the building can be seen all around, a moving and living reminder of the real-world implications both of art and of ecological issues. This “perforated” space collapses binary distinctions between indoors and outdoors, the urban and the rural, indicating that all environments are potential sites for encounters with wild flora and fauna.
Elements of the natural world are relocated into the space to create surprising encounters. Sound and moving image are interwoven with the birdsong and rustling branches that surround the space, pondweed settles into a new habitat, agar responds to passing bodies and bacteria. Agency is shared across species, a complex entwining of intentions and instincts.
With contributions from artists working across a variety of media – from sculpture and installation to video and photography – Rewind/Rewild takes an ecological curatorial approach, suggesting interconnections both within and beyond the gallery space and hinting at a broader ecosystem of environmentally implicated artistic making.
Collaboratively curated by writer Anna Souter and artist Beatrice Searle and produced in association with OmVed Gardens, Rewind/Rewild also features a rewilding forum and a complementary programme of events intended to open debate around the issues of human re-involvement in natural processes, and the creative and practical ways in which this might be achieved.
Rewilding, n. A progressive approach to conservation, through the act of allowing natural processes to resume in an area, through practices such as the removal of dams, ditches or commercially bred grazing animals, the reintroduction of keystone species, and the cessation of managed conservation programmes that privilege particular species.
We are excited to announce that Doodle Arts will be continuing its art classes for the Summer Term at Jacksons Lane in Highgate every Wednesday 4-5 pm.

Participation fee: £144 for 12 sessions / Family offer: £230 for 2 siblings

Where are you from? How did you get here? Do you like spicy food? Sometimes you laugh it off. Sometimes you keep quiet. Sometimes you decide to speak up. Sometimes you shout. The Brownie Club is a show about race, identity and fitting in, exploring the experiences of women of colour as they choose when, where and how to respond to racism. Combining striking aerial circus with physical theatre and spoken word, it takes a joyful, honest and candid look at the assumptions made about people of colour, and asks: What happens when we begin with a different set of questions?
A co-production with Jacksons Lane.
