Highgate councillors hold a surgery at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, and at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the cafe or foyer area of Jacksons Lane theatre, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.
Do come along if you can spare an hour or two at the Fair on 11/6/16 to help with marshalling / security / information.

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.

This exhibition follows on from a retrospective at Leeds College of Art in 2010 where Richard Downer trained in the 1950s. Trees have been a source of inspiration for Richard throughout his working life – this exhibition captures his fascination for the longevity, endurance and prominence of trees in our environment.
He was born on the Isle of Wight in 1933 and grew up in Yorkshire. Highgate has been him family home for the last 53 years and the ancient woodlands of Highgate and Hampstead Heath have been a constant source of interest.
Richard has had a busy and remarkable working life as a designer. Following his training and two years’ National Service in the Royal Navy, he began a career in advertising as a visualizer and art director before going solo in 1966.
Richard’s many skills as an illustrator, graphic designer and typographer brought him numerous commissions including stamp design, corporate identities, major reports and accounts. As one of Britain’s leading architectural illustrators he travelled the length and breadth of the country capturing, as line drawings, notable and remote locations for the GPO and latterly BT telephone directories (1967-1985). BT also commissioned a
360 degree panoramic drawing of London from the top of the Post Office Tower that was completed in 1970 (a selection of drawings from this period will also be viewable at the exhibition). He has shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and was a Fellow of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers and Fellow and Past President of the Society of Typographic Designers.
Since 1998, from his Kentish Town studio, Richard has focused on his private passion and profound respect for the lifespan of trees – their longevity and transience, their demise and regeneration.
