BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/cocktail-chemistry-masterclass-01/). Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! Shake up your dating game with 24 high-spirited singles at this unique mixology masterclass, led by the cocktail magicians at The Alchemist. Learn step-by-step how to create one of The Alchemist’s classic cocktails in a lively, interactive session — with the occasional surprise along the way! Whether you’re a little *Old Fashioned* or more *Cosmopolitan*, you’re sure to find something (and possibly someone) that stirs your senses. So, don’t be a Moscow Mule — come along and enjoy the best fun you’ve had mixing and mingling in a Long (Island Iced Tea) time. Arrive at 19:30 to be welcomed by your host, who will direct you to the private event area, provide a name sticker, and give you a quick low-down on how the evening will run. During the masterclass, you’ll be split into mixed groups designed to break (or crush?) the ice, spark conversation, and discover shared passions — perhaps a love of the perfect *Fruit Martini*! Between sessions, mingle with other guests or relax and discuss the art of the perfect *Negroni* with a newfound connection. The cocktail you create is yours to enjoy, and additional drinks are available to purchase from the bar. Your host — affectionately dubbed ‘pretty fly for a Mai Tai’ — will be on-hand throughout to keep the cocktails and good times flowing. After the class, a resident DJ will take over for anyone in the party mood. Following the event, post-event matching will be available via your It’s a Date dashboard, so you can continue the conversation or schedule a second date at your own pace. If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or [james@itsadate.club](mailto:james@itsadate.club).

Hi, lovely Wytchery Witches! We're thrilled to announce that our next Wytchery workshop is now open for booking. It's taking place on Wednesday, 11th February, from 7-9pm at our usual haunt, Treadwells Bookshop in London. The cost is £10 (plus a small booking fee) to cover Treadwell's room hire and the cost of any materials we'll be using. **Please do arrive at the shop with plenty of time to spare, so we can get started promptly at 7pm.** Get set for our Element of Earth workshop. In this workshop we will talk about different Earth magics and you will each craft a small god or goddess statue for your personal altars, which we will charge up with some good earthy energy raising. The Magic of Earth is transformation – from the sun’s light into life-sustaining food. It is of the mother, who births us then takes us back after death. It is the magic of defence and protection as well as that of the mundane - money, wealth, society, happiness etc. Earth rules all bodily functions, also confidence and the personality, but its dark side is depression, restriction and dullness. Earth is manifest in caves, caverns, mountains, forests and valleys – but you can find it anywhere and everywhere, it is the foundational element where we live our lives. It rules fertility and birth and all things growth – abundance, prosperity, money, business, employment; but it also rules death, corruption, rot and depression. Earth magic takes many forms; common among which is the magic of burying things so they can grow or rot away. Stones have magic of their own and tend to find their way into witches pocketses. The Wytchery is an inclusive and welcoming space for solitary witches with little or no experience working with a group. We believe that magic is for everyone, and we strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel free to be yourself. Our workshops are perfect for those who are new to the craft or haven't had much experience working in a group. You're free to drop in and out as you please, and you'll get hands-on experience with all sorts of magical goodies, from raising power and working spells to creating talismans and magical tools. We're all about getting involved, whether that's through movement, crafting, or meditation. You'll meet new people, learn new skills, and have the chance to contribute to our little community. We're not in this to make a profit – we just want to create a lovely, social space for like-minded witches to come together and learn from each other. We're always learning, and we're sure you'll find something to inspire you. hone your skills, you would also be most welcome to join us. We find we learn new things all the time, even after years of magical practice.

Join our [whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GvWcfGeLl8D91qKgZ4NkjA) for the latest updates! Chess social event! Players of all levels welcome, there will be lessons available for free using a chess demonstration board alongside several chess boards to play yourself. **Adults only!**

IN PERSON STUDY & CONVERSATION GROUP - OCCULT SCIENCE WITH DAGMAR STEFFELBAUER **Occult Science is not a collection of lectures but a written book by Rudolf Steiner. It is meant for studying the content. It is composed of VII Chapters and the study group has almost reached the end of chapter lV (Human and World Evolution). Soon the study group is going to enter chapter V in which Rudolf Steiner is focusing on our present time and tasks in which each individual Human Being is called to participate. We are using the translation by George and Mary SAdams.** **All are welcome!** **Further information: d.steffelbauer@gmail.com** This group is run under the auspices of the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain and small donations towards expenses are welcome. £ 3 / £2 .

Are you someone aged between 18-32 looking to get out of your comfort zone and become a more confident version of yourself this new year? Have you ever wanted to better express yourself and better connect with people? Are you interested in having fun and making friends through a range of public speaking exercises and improv acting? At *TheVibeCheck*, we provide a forum where young adults can become more confident versions of themselves and build more meaningful connections with others. We believe this can be progressively achieved through a range of exercises focusing on public speaking, improv acting and debating. **So why should you attend a *TheVibeCheck* session?** * We specifically tailor our sessions to young adults (aged 18-32) with a common goal of improving themselves. Although we welcome all levels of expertise, **our sessions are mainly designed for young adults who have little to no experience in public speaking, improv and debating.** Think of this as an evolution of your secondary school drama lesson! * **We provide a safe and intimate space where you can express yourself, learn and make friends with like-minded individuals.** Our number of attendees are appropriately sized to ensure you get the most out of the session. * **We focus on a unique blend of public speaking, improv and debating exercise**, equipping you with a range of skills to become a more confident version of yourself. A typical session can include icebreakers, warm-up exercises, short speeches, improv, feedback and reflections. **If this event appeals to you, make sure to purchase tickets ASAP as spaces are limited!**

A **smaller, quieter, and less rushed** edition of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS. At TEiP DEEP, we have the chance to spend a whole hour and a half on **one thought experiment**, exploring different perspectives, coming up with new questions, listening and learning from one another. **How it works:** \- We split into small groups for each chapter of the thought experiment \(3\-4\)\. \- We shuffle every 25 mins to meet new people and change things up\. \- And at the end we'll have a brief group reflection\, sharing ideas and insights \- this will be lightly facilitated to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak if they want to \(no pressure\)\. Some simple ground rules to keep our conversation the best it can be: * respect for one another’s perspectives, beliefs, time (etc.) * confidentiality of personal stories * own your perspective * you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Our aim is the same as our bigger Thought Experiments in Pubs meetups: **a chance to meet and talk at about meaningful, thought provoking things**. Although we’ll be going a bit ‘deeper’, we’ll keep the intention to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. Places are limited to 15-20 people and tickets are £5. Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend so that someone else can have your place. **Who should come:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality...etc. etc.... **Where we'll meet:** The Fitzroy Tavern in Fitzrovia. The nearest Tube stations are Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road. Looking forward to meeting & talking with you :-) **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/D13LHw5BV3rEtUtO3ORklC)** \- stay in the loop **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs/)** \- see what we look like **[FACEBOOK](www.facebook.com/thoughtexperimentsinpub)** \- ditto **[WEBSITE](www.alltogether.one)** \- sign up to the newsletter\, support\, & feed back \*\*[ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM FOR TICKETS](https://tribeirl.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs) \- tribe\*\* #philosophyinpubs #inclusivity #openmindedness #deepdive #TEiPdeep

This February, try something warmer. Join us for a singles night that’s low-pressure, thoughtfully social, and surprisingly fun: candle dipping. Think: warm wax, cool people, and zero pressure to know what you're doing. No experience needed — seriously. If you can hold a stick and make decisions every 8 seconds, you’re qualified. You’ll dip your candle, let it set, chat while you wait, dip again… and suddenly you’re mid-conversation, forgetting you’re supposed to be counting dips. The vibe: ✨Hand-dip your own candles — tall, twisted, elegant, dramatic, whatever your era is ✨A soothing, rhythmic process that’s half meditation, half “why is this actually addictive?” ✨A social singles-only setting where small talk naturally melts away ✨Easy, natural mingling while dipping and admiring each other’s work ✨Create something you can keep, gift, or proudly say: “Yeah, I made that.” ✨Chat, dip, repeat Come solo (most people will). Leave with handmade candles —or, best case, someone to light them with. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979166439097?aff=oddtdtcreator

Embark on a luminous journey through the spiritual traditions, rituals, and esoteric wisdom of ancient Kemet. Blending historical insight with mystical interpretation, Fotoula Adrimi reveals how these timeless teachings can illuminate the path of modern seekers. Stepping onto Egyptian soil in 2006, Fotoula Adrimi's soul knew that this was home on Earth. Goddess Isis lifted the veil of time from her eyes, revealing an ancient world of mysticism that can be retrieved to help life now. These pages explore ancient teachings aimed at rediscovering our origin as beings of light who have come to Earth to experience and awaken. Egypt is a source of fascination that keeps calling the soul back from one lifetime to the next. What is the source of power emanating from the temples, the statues of the gods and goddesses, and the strange images on the walls? What happens when we consciously enter the vortex of etheric energy placed deliberately by the ancients? We might find that we are forever altered. This book takes us on a journey through time and space, through dimensions and different realities, through self-acceptance and self-love, to lead us back into our infinite spirit, where the source of magic exists.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!
