How Your Past Experiences Can Negatively Affect You
Description: Join us for an enlightening lecture that delves into the intricate web of the past and its potential to cast a long shadow over our present lives. In this thought-provoking session, we will explore the profound ways in which the past can negatively impact our well-being, choices, and personal growth.
Throughout history, human lives have been shaped by a multitude of experiences, both positive and negative. These experiences accumulate, leaving imprints on our memories and shaping our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. While the past holds valuable lessons and cherished memories, it can also harbor unresolved conflicts, traumas, and limitations that subtly influence our present reality.
During this lecture, we will navigate the labyrinth of psychological and emotional baggage that may accumulate over time, inhibiting our personal development and impeding our ability to lead fulfilling lives. By examining the effects of the past on various aspects of our existence, we will gain a deeper understanding of how it can manifest in detrimental ways.
Through engaging discussions, case studies, and real-life examples, we will explore the following topics:
1. The Power of Unresolved Trauma: We will delve into the profound impact of unresolved traumatic experiences and how they can subtly shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By shedding light on the intricate mechanisms behind these effects, we can begin to dismantle their hold on our lives.
2. Inherited Baggage: Examining the intergenerational transmission of pain, beliefs, and patterns of behavior, we will explore how our ancestors' experiences can unconsciously influence our lives. By recognizing and addressing this inherited baggage, we can break free from destructive cycles and chart our own path.
3. Limiting Beliefs and Self-Sabotage: Uncovering the deeply ingrained beliefs and narratives that stem from past experiences, we will explore how they can become self-fulfilling prophecies, stifling our potential and sabotaging our aspirations. By challenging these beliefs, we can reclaim our personal power and reshape our narratives.
4. Breaking Free: Strategies for Healing and Transformation: This segment will offer practical tools and techniques for healing past wounds, releasing emotional burdens, and cultivating resilience. We will explore approaches such as therapy, mindfulness, self-reflection, and forgiveness to facilitate the process of letting go and embracing personal growth.
By the end of this lecture, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the profound influence the past can exert on their lives and how to break free from its negative impact. Armed with newfound knowledge and practical insights, they will be empowered to embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and the creation of a brighter future.
Note: This lecture is open to all individuals seeking personal growth and a deeper understanding of the psychological and emotional factors that shape their lives. No prior knowledge or experience is required, only an open mind and a willingness to explore the depths of the past.

Royal Institution "Neutrinos, the Universe, and Everything"
This is a **theatre** and **livestream** talk from the **Royal Institution of Great Britain.** Particle physicist **Prof. Kirsty Duffy** uncovers the mysteries of neutrinos, and the experiments searching for the answers.
**ADVANCE BOOKING AND PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TALK.**
**More details and booking instructions on the RI web site:**
**[https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/neutrinos-universe-and-everything](https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/neutrinos-universe-and-everything)**
**SUMMARY**
Why does the Universe exist? We believe that the Big Bang created matter and its opposite ā antimatter ā in equal amounts, and we know experimentally that when matter and antimatter come together, they destroy each other in a burst of energy. So why hasnāt that happened? This is one of the most fundamental questions we have about nature, and answers might be found in an unexpected place: subatomic particles called neutrinos.
Neutrinos are the most important particle you were never taught about. They are created in radioactive decays in the sun, the centre of the Earth, supernovae, and even beer. Around 100 billion pass through your thumbnail every second, but youāve probably never noticed. In this talk, particle physicist **Kirsty Duffy** will explain what neutrinos are, why they are so interesting to particle physicists, how they might explain why the universe exists, and the mega-science experiments being built to find out.
Kirsty will draw on her work on DUNE, The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, a next-generation experiment using leading-edge multi-kiloton liquid argon detectors, which is due to turn on towards the end of the decade. It will make measurements of neutrinos with unprecedented precision, and may hold the key to answering some of the most fundamental questions in physics.
This is a theatre and livestream event for an adult audience, where the speakers and audience in our Theatre are joined by our audience online.
**The livestream will go live around 6.50pm, and the talk will begin at 7.00pm. If you register but miss the livestream, the video will be available to you via the same link for two weeks after the event date.**

šŖš¬ THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU (IMAX FILM & SOCIAL)
š§ ***In a galaxy far, far away, where every star tells a story, we gather to watch the next chapter unfold. A wise, mystical being with a touch of magic travels the universe and journeys alongside his human warrior companion, bound by a code of honour and a deep connection to the Force.***
š **Hey everyone,** let's get ready to jump from one exciting planet to another and finally touch down on Nevarro, because the **Mandalorian and Grogu** are taking us on a journey across the galaxy!
Now, this Star Wars film is basically a big-screen adventure bringing our favourite duo from the Disney series to the cinema. It's directed by J**on Favreau**, who really set the tone for the **[Mandalorian Series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOC8E8z_ifw)**, and he's carrying that same vision into the movie. Plus, since he's also one of the writers, we can definitely expect his style and continuity all over it.
If you've been following the show, weāll probably all recognise that same blend of space-western vibes, a bit of humour, and of course, plenty of Grogu charm. Itās a natural next step for the franchise, bringing these streaming favourites to the big **IMAX Screen**. Itās going to be a lot of fun with the same creative team going bigger than ever.
**Fun instructions:** Weāll kick things off with a **Meet-and-Greet** at the **Cineworld Empire Bar & Confectionary** (far end side). Feel free to bring along your **Star Wars themed tees or any fun props**, totally optional! You will also find us in seats **F20-F22** inside the screen if you want to sit near us.
After the film we'll keep the fun rolling with a **Star Wars Vibe** **Social** at the **W Bar Leicester Square** where of course and review the film for our **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/) Page**.
You'' find the full **schedule breakdown** **and addresses below**, and until then ...

ā©1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
ā©2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you havenāt come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Pranic Healing Level I - PH I--- DAY 2 of 2
MCKS PRANIC HEALINGĀ® Level I
In PRANIC HEALINGĀ® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency.
PRANIC HEALINGĀ® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALINGĀ® very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALINGĀ® Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.

respiratory system, e.g., asthma,; circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments; gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome; musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain; reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems. You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis.
Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.
All PRANIC HEALINGĀ® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
This is Day 2 of 2 Attendance at day one is required to attend day 2.
