Linda and John Jenkins: THRESHOLDS. @ Highgate Gallery
Jun 10 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

     Linda and John Jenkins: THRESHOLDS.  8-24 June 2018

Nature forms the basis of both Linda’s and John’s work, but their approach in style and medium is very different, resulting in a varied and evocative show.

Linda’s work explores her fascination with surfaces, textures and colours and the responses, both emotional and psychological, that these elements can provoke.  She uses collage, fabrics and stitch as well as lino and mono-printing, collagraph, drawing and painting, manipulating her materials to experiment and reveal in an intuitive way. In this process she is also exploring the connections between our exterior and interior worlds.

Inspiration is drawn from the land and seascapes of Australia, rock formations in Norway, beaches in Cornwall, and woods and lakes closer to home. Linda is aiming to evoke a memory of a place and time experienced, as well as opening the doors to new – as yet unexplored – vistas.

John’s photographic work is inspired by landscape and especially trees which he feels are imbued with both spiritual and visual qualities. Working intuitively when editing his photographs he is searching for structures, patterns and textures that reimagine the components of the landscape into new visual experiences.

He is also fascinated by the concept of symmetry which is found in so many forms of art and nature.  He endeavours to create work that has a meditative quality and allows the viewer the opportunity to discover hidden worlds. His artworks are constructed as photo collages as their composition is a result of a process of experimentation both with scale and the choice of paper to enhance the image.

All work in the exhibition is for sale.

Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5.   Closed Mon.

Mindfulness 8 week course @ Jacksons Lane
Jun 11 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Mindfulness 8 week course @ Jacksons Lane | England | United Kingdom

         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.
