Harlem

Bored after a long xmas break ???? A great walk with Barrie, this time stories from Soho and Fitzrovia From Tin Pan Alley To Fitzrovia SOHO ON THE EDGES === Music, murder & the birth of Bohemia There are many walks around Soho including some of our own but there are areas on the outskirts of the 'unsquare mile' that often get missed. This walk fills those gaps.... From the remarkable music history of Denmark Street, onto Soho square and then Oxford street, and thats just the first half. We then venture north to what some call Noho but is of course much better known as Fitzrovia where bohemian London flourished from the early 1920s. You will also hear rare stories about The Beatles, an unsolved murder, an ancient Indian sect and the oldest music venue in the world. Also learn more about the Rockers than the Mods, where to buy a button and finishing with a gruesome murder. *After the walk come and see the Bond street xmas lights* This walk will take just over two hours and costs £14 cash on the day RSVP in the normal way...NOTE THE I3.00 START any questions or queries Please contact Barrie phone or text 07860 911393

We are a group of writers of all kinds of work - novels, short stories, academic work, scripts, poetry, flash fiction, and more. We meet once a week, on Tuesday evenings, predominantly in order to write but also to talk about what we are working on. The standard format of the group is heads-down writing until around 1940, then whatever else anyone wants to do or talk about. Everyone is welcome, regardless of what you are writing. [The Brownswood](https://thebrownswood.co.uk) is a fantastic local pub, located close to Clissold Park/Highbury/Stoke Newington/Finsbury Park. It has a large - and quiet - upstairs area.

**31st December 2025 - 2nd January 2026** By donation This new year, bring your heart into one-ness for a Held in Prayer ceremony to bless 2026! Held in Prayer ceremonies are profound opportunities for Way-Showers, Space-Holders, Frequency-Keepers, Light and Earth Workers to recharge their path-gifts. When we hold each other in prayer we create a state of oneness and activate the miracle body of humanity, meaning that all healing, dreaming and visions that happen during the prayer are more powerful. By starting the year held in prayer, we bless ourselves, the earth and the new cycle with miracle energy. You can pray however you want to pray and for the new year we encourage you to hold the celebration so the prayer is joyful. The prayer ceremony to bless 2026 includes: Opening Ceremony Chamber of Light Welcome your Path Potential For the Year Soul Star Community Heart Activation With the Rainbow Grandmothers Sacred Temple Space Community Time Closing Ceremony This ceremony is by donation; you can donate whatever is right in your heart after the ceremony. This ceremony will last 48 hours. Please note that for the ceremony to run we need all prayer slots filled. You can book more than one prayer slot and invite people - especially those in other time zones. If we don’t fill the slots then we will have to do a shorter ceremony - which may affect the number of transmission ceremonies that can be done. **More about Held in Prayer** Those called will be following the ancient practice of holding each other in prayer. This is a non-religious prayer, it is an ancient temple tradition of holding each other in loving thoughts. Holding each other in prayer is how we come into oneness… it creates amazingly soft protective and beautiful energy around those who share the ceremony. Being in the state of oneness allows for each person to open up beyond their limitations - into the miracle field! When held in this ceremony - the medicine of the human-KIND - heart - means healing goes deeper and manifesting is super-charged. WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF HUMANITY THIS IS OUR RAINBOW PRAYER May you be held May you be loved May you be beloved ones May you live in the peace of the One-Heart May you melt into the limitlessness of yourself May you know the dance of the starlings And live the immunity of unity May you remember the way of miracles As your heart sings open Within the one-song May your prayer be in two-way flow As we cover each other in infinite blessings May the kindness of your hearts Meet in the temple of ones-ness May you be gentle May you be free Maybe you return to Innocence As you reclaim the Temple Ways May your prayer be your AWAKENING For all Because we are all One May you be held May you be loved May you be in JOY May you be blessed Beloved ones Testimonials from Held in Prayer Ceremony Prayer Keepers: *“A truly precious experience, a weekend of grace, connecting with loving humans from around the world to hold prayer for the highest good. A simple practice and easy to integrate into your day. The guidance from Kahreela and her guides is so sacred and truly divine.* *Everyone who is here desires to be involved in this vigil and that is what makes the energy so potent and so easily felt.* *If you desire to be in ceremony with yourself and with others, yet have the space to fully integrate your experience in your own way and over time, while you are held in prayer by this honourable collective then this is certainly something to try and cherish”.* Hannah *“Being held in prayer was an amazing experience. The whole time I felt so safe, so loved & really supported by the other participants. I loved holding prayer too, it was a magical sacred time for me, I felt so honoured to be able to hold prayer in this way for others. The whole experience was beautiful. I'm feeling so calm & relaxed after it all. Thank you“* Caitriona *“For me, being held in prayer and taking my turn to hold others in prayer, awakened this wonderful feeling of energetic community, safety, love and security. Plus a renewed sense of responsibility and need for my own part, my prayers and my open heart. I felt that together we were able to cross a threshold and be of service in a new and vibrant way and that our individuality, dedication and service was essential and valuable to the whole.* *Coming into prayer at this time is important, being part of something bigger than myself was healing, clearing and restorative and is certainly something I would choose at this extremely isolating, fearful and lonely time.* *Can't wait to be held in prayer again.”* Gina WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF HUMANITY, THIS IS OUR RAINBOW PRAYER Lots of Love and Blessings, Kahreela xxx REGISTER HERE: [https://www.starlight-temple.com/event-details/held-in-prayer-bless-the-new-year-2](https://www.starlight-temple.com/event-details/held-in-prayer-bless-the-new-year-2)

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event: SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw PLAN: We’ll kick off the event with a pre-show Happy Hour at nearby Bravo! We’ll confirm the details and exact meeting time once we get the showtimes, but planning for 5 to 5:30pm for the Happy Hour and a 7pm-ish showing of both films. For the movies, we’ll meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtimes! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your Movie of Choice and seat number in the Comments below. Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer.
