**Welcome, wonderful women,** Our body is our first home, our lifelong companion from the very beginning of life to the very end. And yet, how often do we pause to really listen to her? To understand the subtle signals she sends, the wisdom she carries, and the stories she holds? This circle\* is an invitation to reconnect with our body, to honour her, and to explore the messages she quietly communicates. We will begin the space with a **gentle, nourishing somatic yoga**\*\* practice guided by Barbara, a yoga teacher with a deeply soft and intuitive approach. This is about slowly arriving in the body, opening, and sensing from within - all movements can be adapted, and you are very welcome to move in a way that honours your body, including if you are working with physical limitations. From there, we will move into the circle, into reflection, sharing, and deeper listening. Through gentle exercises, mindful awareness, and guided reflection, we will tune into the rhythms of our nervous system, begin to notice what our bodies are truly communicating, and reconnect with the intelligence that lives within us. **What to expect:** \- A soft somatic opening with an experienced facilitator \- Exploration of how your body speaks to you \- Reflection and sharing in a safe\, expansive circle \- Connection in supportive sisterhood Whether you are curious, seeking alignment, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with yourself, you are welcome exactly as you are. This is a space where nothing needs to be performed or fixed. A space where your body is not judged, but met. A space where your experience is welcome. **Suggested contribution:** £25\*\*\* Please give what feels aligned with your circumstances. Advance-booking recommended. **Practical information:** Dress comfortably. Journals welcome. Mums with babes in arms (up to 6 months) are welcome. Come home to yourself. Come meet your body as your truest companion. Come soften, open, and listen - together. We can’t wait to hold this space with you ✨ *If you have any questions about the space, you’re very welcome to reach out.* *\*These Women’s Circle events are intentionally created for cisgender women.* *\*\*Somatic yoga, grounded in gentle awareness and slow, exploratory movement, invites a feminine, receptive approach that honours intuition and inner sensing. It fosters deep mind–body attunement, supporting emotional release and greater bodily resilience through curiosity and compassionate attention.* *Yoga teacher: Barbara Heck* *[be-unique-yoga.co.uk](https://be-unique-yoga.co.uk "https://be-unique-yoga.co.uk")* *\*\*\*It is at the centre of my heart to make these spaces available to all women; hence, the event is donation-based, with a suggested contribution of £25 to help cover the costs. If you're able to contribute, please consider the suggested donation amount. However, please know your presence is most valuable. Additionally, if you're in a position to support another Sister's participation, I encourage you to pay it forward. Your kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone else's experience. Thank you for your support and generosity. Together, we can create a space where all sisters feel welcomed and supported.*

Hey LEAF (London East Asians & Friends) fam! Time for our monthly Night LEAF, where we get together at a pub for an evening of drinks, laughs, and good vibes with fellow East Asians and friends in London. **Who's welcome?** LEAF is a community for people with strong ties to East Asia, whether that's through heritage, having grown up or lived extensively in an East Asian country, or being a friend or family member of someone who has. All genders, ages, and sexualities welcome. **First time?** Don't stress! We're a friendly bunch. Look for the group with East Asian faces in our reserved area and just come say hi. Grab one of the organisers and we'll introduce you to people. Come whenever you can, no need to be on time! 💡 Night LEAF is our regular monthly pub meetup. During the summer months, we also run picnic gatherings in London's parks, so keep an eye out for those too! See you there! 🍺

BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/sunday-park-walk-28/). Connecting with potential partners is a walk in the park when you’re doing something you love! If you’re active, enjoy a good social scene, and are into the outdoors, join us with 30 single guests for a 6.5 km walk around the Regents Park and Primrose Hill Circular. Switch scrolling for strolling during this wholesome morning, which includes a hosted walk, coffee (or tea), and a homemade chocolate brownie. Meet James, your host, outside Regents Bar and Kitchen in Regents Park Inner Circle and just a short walk from Baker Street Station. After a stroll around Queen Mary’s Garden, we will continue through Marylebone Green and the English Gardens of Regent’s Park. We’ll then head north, crossing Regents Canal via the Monkey Gate, and make our way up to the viewpoint at Primrose Hill. Here, we’ll stop for coffee and homemade brownies—a great opportunity to socialise more widely with the group and get to know as many people as possible. If the weather isn’t kind to us, we’ll take refuge in a nearby café around Primrose Hill. After this short interlude, we will continue clockwise on the circuit, re-joining The Board Walk in Regents Park as we pass London Zoo, and then return to Marylebone Green, where we’ll conclude at the Japanese Garden. This is a super-relaxed morning walk and a fantastic opportunity to meet a fun bunch of people while getting your steps in along the way. After the walk, the usual post-event matching and messaging will be available on your It’s a Date dashboard. Alternatively, there are plenty of nearby trails and cosy Marylebone pubs to extend your date with newfound connections. If you have any questions about the event or how things will work, please get in touch with James at 07517 065492 or james@itsadate.club.

Basic Ideas: 🌞 📚☕ Any books sitting there collecting dust? Some holiday gifts? Or it’s a book that has changed your life that you want to share? Feel free to bring book(s) to discuss or swap, we usually have more books than people in the end, so feel free to pop along just to have a chat as well. Aiming for every 4 weeks book swap meetup. Note: The event is free to attend, so the only cost for you will only be buying a drink at the location, so coffee/tea/beer etc.
