***🚀 In a world full of uncertainties, sometimes a leap of faith is the only move left.*** **Hello guys** 👋 We’re diving into ‘**Project Hail Mary** where **Ryan Gosling** takes the lead in this curious sci-fi tale produced and directed by **Phil Lord** and **Christopher Miller**. Filmed exclusively with **IMAX cameras**. The film follows a man who wakes up on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there — and soon realises he’s on a mission to save Earth. Definitely something to chat about over drinks and bring to life in a nutshell. It’s the perfect day for a sci-fi dive! We’ll start out at **Victory House Wine Bar**, chatting about all those sweet, otherworldly flicks. We’ll probably start with some **predictions of the film** before heading over to **Cineworld IMAX** (look for us in row **E45** and **E46**). After the film, we’ll regroup for an intergalactic commentary, **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** review, and maybe some extra drinks. **Can’t wait to see you all there!** **Let’s make this a blast!** **Tom & Nick.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **HEADS UP** * If you ***sign up*** but later can’t make it, please **just drop me a quick message** (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning. And follow me **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on **Instagram** — for fun updates! **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * **5:30 PM:** Drinks (Victory House Wine Bar) * **6:30 PM:** Movie (Cineworld IMAX Leicester Square) * **9:35 PM:** Review **STAY CONNECTED** * Join our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (available by request), or hop onto our **[WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDvGuK0AgW8KPxOnG2V)** or **[Telegram Channel](https://t.me/thehideoutuk)** for quiet updates without the chat. Whatever you prefer! **PLOT DETAILS** * Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship light-years from Earth. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing the sun, and save Earth. An unexpected friendship may be the key.

Event details coming soon! 🏃 This will be a run around Mayfair/Marylebone inspired by Apple Fitness+ Trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm who (in a post on X shared by Joz) ran the same area making the form of the Apple logo outline on Strava. We'll be looking to do something similar but as a group running at a pace where we don't drop anyone (unless enough people turn up to split into groups). Please bring appropriate clothing and footwear, and note this may be for more experienced members of the community that are already able to run. We’d love to see first-timers! All attendees must follow our [code of conduct](https://nslondon.com/coc). Probably meet for 11am somewhere on route, then starting maybe 5/10 mins later. The run might take us an hour depending on how busy some areas are, for example Oxford Street (!) and we're not expecting any personal bests either. We'll probably hang around for a coffee at a nearby coffee shop – feel free to attend for this portion, only the run, or both! More details coming soon. The weather seems favourable so far – high of 12°C and low of 5°C with Cloudy conditions, but this could change without warning. This is Joz's post: [https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246](https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246) Apple joins the TCS London Marathon as an Official Partner: [https://www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-marathon/article/apple-joins-tcs-london-marathon-official-partner](https://www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-marathon/article/apple-joins-tcs-london-marathon-official-partner)

Join us for a special edition of Deeper Discussions, where we dive into thought-provoking **fiction** that challenges perspectives, sparks imagination, and opens doors to meaningful conversations. Whether you're a lifelong reader or rediscovering the joy of novels, this is a space to explore stories that stay with you long after the final page. **This Month's Book - The Left hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin** A visitor encounters a radically different society on a distant, frozen world, challenging their assumptions about identity, relationships, and understanding across differences. **How does it work?** * Brief introductions and reflections on what struck you most * Moderated discussion exploring plot, themes, and characters * Open conversation where different interpretations are welcomed ️ * We wrap up by sharing insights and connections made **What to Expect?** **Close Reading:** We go beyond surface-level plot summary. Expect discussions that examine the author's choices, narrative techniques, and the questions left lingering in the silence between pages. **Thoughtful Dialogue:** This isn't a race to share opinions—it's a space for genuine exploration. We listen, we reflect, we build on each other's insights. **Meaningful Connections:** Great fiction holds up a mirror to the human experience. Through discussing characters' choices and moral dilemmas, we often discover something about ourselves and each other. **How to get the most out of this event?** **Finish the Book:** Please attend only if you've completed the book. Spoilers will flow freely, and the richest discussions come from those who've made the full journey. **Ground it in the Text:** Bring your interpretations, but anchor them in what's actually on the page. Quote passages. Reference scenes. Let the author's words guide us. **Respect & Openness:** Every interpretation matters. Make space for quieter voices. Challenge ideas, not people. Stay curious rather than defensive. **Why a Fiction Book Club?** **Explore the Human Condition:** Fiction lets us inhabit lives we'll never live, forcing us to confront questions about identity, morality, love, and loss. **Sharpen Your Thinking:** Close reading develops critical thinking—noticing what the author chose to include, exclude, and how the story is told matters as much as what happens. **Deepen Connections:** Discussing characters' choices and moral dilemmas creates surprisingly intimate conversations with fellow readers. **Who is this event for?** * You find yourself thinking about books long after you've finished them * You want more from book discussions than "I liked it" or "I didn't" * You're curious how others interpret the same story differently * You value thoughtful dialogue over debate ️✨ * You're looking for meaningful connections with fellow readers **What's in it for you?** * **Fresh Perspectives:** Discover interpretations you'd never have considered alone * **Deeper Understanding:** Unpack themes and symbols that enrich your reading * **Genuine Connection:** Bond with others over shared literary experiences * **A Space to Think:** Slow down from the noise and engage with ideas that matter **Ready to dive deeper into stories that matter?** Join us for an evening where fiction becomes a gateway to understanding ourselves and each other. ✨ **We really hope to see you there!** **About Deeper Connections** We have a mission at Deeper Connections to improve the quality of people's lives through conversation. All our events are centred around the concept of connecting deeply, because we believe we all deserve to be seen, felt and understood for who we really are.

Trust us. ### ❤️ Back to Traditional Dating Remember when dating meant: * Meeting face-to-face * Making eye contact * Feeling nervous (in a good way) * Asking someone for their number * Actually planning a proper date That’s what we’re bringing back. This is traditional dating with a modern twist — respectful introductions, genuine conversation, and the chance to build real connection from the very first hello. ### 📍Barbican-City of London, Convenient Location Easy to get to after work. Close to transport links. Stylish venue. Effortless vibe. ### ✨ Who’s It For? Young professionals who: * Are serious about meeting someone * Miss traditional dating values * Prefer presence over profiles * Want quality connections in a relaxed setting ### 🥂 What to Expect ### Welcome to Sparks & Steps — where we bring back traditional dating with elegance, confidence, and a touch of excitement. * Your evening begins with a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect way to relax and settle into the atmosphere. * Then we turn up the energy with salsa dancing and Latino vibes — fun, guided, and designed to break the ice naturally. No pressure, no awkward introductions — just movement, laughter, and connection. * As the night unfolds, the music softens into a more relaxed rhythm, creating space for meaningful conversations. * Not sure how to start the chat? Don’t worry — we’ve placed conversation cards on each table to help spark engaging, effortless discussions. **And here’s where it gets exciting…** 🌹 If you meet someone you’d like to know better, simply pick up a rose and ask for their number. A simple, confident gesture — just like traditional dating should be. This isn’t speed dating. This isn’t a night club. This is dating the way it used to be — confident, intentional, and in person. **Limited spaces. Real people. Real potential.** Ready to meet someone the traditional way? https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sparks-steps-21-march-age-28-50ditch-the-dating-apps-meet-in-person-tickets-1983682007283?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
