This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you! MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE. If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc. With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following: 1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank. 2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed) 3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film. BUT 4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc. Remember to bring: 1. You and your enthusiasm 2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever) 3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt! The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize! Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours. Look forward to seeing you there!

This workshop is rooted in the Creative Flow Dojo® approach, practices that help us enter that “optimal" flow state experience where clarity, creativity and courage meet. Throughout the session, you'll be learning how to cultivate the inner conditions that allow inspiration to arise. Expect guided visualisation, embodied imagination, and practical tools to carry forward into daily life. **This is part of our all-day WINTER SOLSTICE GATHERING on December 20th. culminating in MEDICINA: Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony - Musical Vibes: Global Bass/Tribal Dub/Folktronica/Shamanic Soundscapes** **For more information:** [https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1974879916994?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1974879916994?aff=oddtdtcreator) **💙PLUS- NYE 2025!! - SOBER RAVE & CONSCIOUS CLUBBING.

Whether you’re longing to meet a partner, reshape your career, take bold new steps, establish healthier routines, or simply feel more connected to yourself and your life vision, this workshop supports you in uncovering your heart-felt intentions for 2026. **What is the Creative Flow Dojo®?** * Creative Flow refers to that optimal body–mind state where clarity, ease, intuition and performance align. * The Dojo is the learning space, a dedicated container for exploration, repetition, growth and mastery. Most of us have tasted moments of “creative flow,” those sometimes rare moments when everything clicks and we feel intimately connected to the best of ourselves. This workshop explores how to enter that state consciously and with intention. And we're excited to be sharing some of the Creative Flow Dojo's unique practices with you! Throughout the playshop, you’ll learn how to unfold the inner and outer conditions that support generativity, how to shift into a positive flow state where creativity, resilience and presence come online. ENVISION is a space to pause, listen, and chart the year ahead with clarity. This workshop is an anchor point at the turning of the year: a chance to name what matters, align with your deeper intentions, and step into 2026 with more confidence, focus and energy. If you’re ready to make 2026 a year of heartfelt clarity and meaningful change, join us for ENVISION and begin shaping your next chapter with purpose.

Kick off your week with music, movement, and great vibes. Come solo or with friends—no partner needed! **Schedule (This Sunday):** • 6:30 PM – Free Bachata Taster • 7:00 PM – Bachata Classes (3 Levels) • 8:00 PM – Salsa Classes (3 Levels) • 9:00 PM–12:30 AM – FREE Social Dancing (Salsa, Bachata, a touch of Kiz) **What to expect:** • Friendly teachers, clear level splits, and lots of practice time • Great music and a welcoming crowd for all levels—absolute beginners to improvers • Central location, easy transport, and good vibes all night **Why social dancing is good for you:** Social dancing is a fun workout that boosts your cardio, coordination, and posture—without feeling like “exercise.” It reduces stress, fires up your brain with musical timing and footwork patterns, and improves confidence through gentle challenges and quick wins. Dancing with different partners builds connection, empathy, and communication skills (you literally learn to “listen” with your body). It’s also an incredible way to make friends and feel part of a community—one song at a time. Good to know: • No partner or experience required • Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and arrive a bit early for level check-in • Classes start right on time—don’t miss your warm-up! Price: £10 one class £12 two classes 6:30 PM class is FREE intro to bachata RSVP now so we can plan levels and floor space. See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺
