Have you ever been to a public speaking class where they expect to go up and speak for 2 minutes with no prior experience ? I think this is too hard for many people and just overwhelms the nervous system. This workshop is designed for people who want a gradual and easier approach.

We start in pairs and work our way up to smaller groups and slowly desensitise to being seen by a larger audience.The Speeches are are also short, from 10 seconds to 1 minute. You are under no pressure to do anything, all exercises are voluntary, no one will ever be put on the spot. I want people to view this class in the same light as a weight lifting class, if there was a weight to heavy for you , you would just say "I can't lift that yet" and there would be no shame nor embarrassment around it, so If something is abit to outside of your comfort zone, just sit it out and don't feel that you have to be embarrassed or have to explain yourself. We'll be in studio 12 , at the theatre deli which is 107 Leadenhall street, it can be a bit confusing as is look a bit life and office building but it's actually studio and rehearsal spaces. I hope to see you there, if youre still worried feel free to send me a message and hopefully I can put your mind at ease 
Take care 
James.

**One quick note on how the community works** **L Community is member-funded.** The standard contribution is **£13 per month** to cover the platform, events, moderation, and safeguarding. If £13 isn’t workable for you right now, you can opt out for now. Support can be changed or cancelled at any time. Support the platform: [www.thelcommunity.com/back-us-now](www.thelcommunity.com/back-us-now) **What this is** A relaxed weekly night for drinks, conversation, and meeting other lesbian and bisexual women in real life. Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most weeks it’s a genuine mix of new faces and returning women, so you won’t be the only person arriving for the first time. Most people come on their own. That’s normal here, and we make sure you don’t feel it. Hosts introduce people, keep things flowing, and make it easy to settle in without pressure. There’s no requirement to drink, talk constantly, or impress anyone. You can arrive quietly, chat a bit, sit back, or leave early. All of that is fine. If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected. **Important** This is a **female-only lesbian space**. That boundary is clear and upheld at events. If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event. **How to attend** You must register in advance to attend. Register here: [www.thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights](http://www.thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights) **Arriving and support** Table booking is under the name **Jenny**. If you’re nervous, arriving alone, can’t find us, or have any difficulty at all, you can message at any point — days before, on the day, or during the event. If it helps, we can have someone come outside to meet you. **WhatsApp Jenny** WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019** Normal calls or texts will not go through on this number. **Staying connected** Registering for an event is separate from joining the wider community.

**Lez Meet join Arcana** **for this amazing movie night event.** Arcana is London’s only sapphic movie club currently running. We are starting this new year with a screening of BLUE JEAN, by Georgia Oakley The Arzner Cinema (Bermondsey) Drinks from 3.00pm Movie starts at 3.45pm Post-drinks and chats after the movie **Synopsis :** Blue Jean presents the struggles of a woman trying to blend into a heteronormative world in 1980s Britain, at a time when homosexuals were politically vilified and othered. Through gestures, glances, and silences, the film traces how public hostility seeps into private life, shaping the body, the classroom, and desire itself. It explores the cost of silence and the risks of visibility, asking what it means to hold onto integrity when simply being seen carries consequences. **About Arcana:** Finding films that truly reflect lesbian and queer women’s lives remains a challenge. They are difficult to produce, to finance, to distribute, to promote, to find, to screen… one movie that comes to you has gone a very long way. Stories where we are not marginal, implied, tragic, or killed — but visible, complex, joyful, political, alive. Bringing those images and queer and lesbian representation to the big screen matters. **Arcana** exists to seek out and share visual work that celebrates our lives, offers mirrors and models, and affirms something simple and powerful: we exist, and we are full of life. Through curated screenings and shared cinematic experiences, Arcana creates **space for a sapphic gaze** — one that looks at the world through *our* desires, *our* bodies, *our* friendships, and *our* experience of the world. Tickets here : https://www.outsavvy.com/event/32929/screening-blue-jean-with-arcana-londons-sapphic-movie-club **\*\* Lez Meet & Arcana stands loud and strong with our trans brothers and sisters \*\*** *Any form of hate, discrimination, or transphobia will not be tolerated at any of our events. If you have any concerns or questions about this requirement, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll do our best to address them.*

Ticket is needed in order to attend this event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/womens-circle-living-in-harmony-with-your-menstrual-cycle-tickets-1977767143767?aff=oddtdtcreator ## Overview Are you longing for deeper connections with other women who are on a path of self-discovery and growth? Join us for a women's circle! Join us for a gentle and nurturing **Women’s Circle:** a sacred, heart-led space for women who want to go deeper. Every month, we gather to explore themes around **spirituality, feminine embodiment, self-discovery and personal growth**. Each circle centers around a unique topic: from **feminine energy, intuition, boundaries**, and **embodiment** to **self-worth, healing** or **emotional expression** but the intention remains the same: 💗 To create a space for authentic connection, inner reflection, and collective wisdom 💗 To be seen, heard and held without judgment or pressure to be anything but yourself 🌙 **This Month’s Theme: Living in Harmony with Your Menstrual Cycle** Modern life often asks us to show up the same way every day: productive, available and high-energy without honoring the natural peaks and dips of the female cycle. Many women feel exhausted, disconnected or frustrated simply because they are living out of sync with their cyclical nature. In this circle, we’ll explore the wisdom of the menstrual cycle and how each phase carries its own energy, needs and gifts. We’ll share on how we currently move through our cycle, reflect on where we push or override our body's signals and focus on how we can begin to work with this energy rather than against it in everyday life. This circle is a space to soften, listen and remember that you are not meant to be the same every day. Your cyclical nature is not a weakness! It is a profound source of power, intuition and self-trust, but we just need to learn how to work with it. ### ✨ What to Expect: * A grounding **meditation & breathwork** to help you arrive in the moment * A short **introduction to the theme** of the circle * **Mindful exercises** to reflect, feel and reconnect * A **safe, supportive sharing circle** * A closing **visualisation, affirmation & oracle cards** * Warm, soul-led connection with other women walking the path of self-discovery * Optional social afterwards where you can continue connection with others ### 🌀 Why this Circle was Born: “I created this circle because I craved **soulful, nourishing connection** with other women: spaces where we could go deeper than small talk and share from the heart. If you feel that same longing: for truth, presence, sisterhood, then this circle is for you.” ### 🌸 Why Women’s Circles Matter: Female connection is not just emotionally enriching—it’s also *biologically essential*. Research shows that when women gather in safe, supportive spaces, they release **oxytocin**—the bonding hormone—which helps lower stress, build trust, and boost emotional resilience. Strong female friendships and emotional expression are linked to: * Reduced anxiety and depression * Better heart and immune health * A longer, more joyful life In times of stress, women are wired for a “**tend-and-befriend**” response, **we heal in connection**. 📍 **WHERE:** Blackwell House, King's Square Community Centre ### 💫 What to Bring: * An open heart * A journal & pen Let’s sit together, soften, and reconnect with our inner power—**not through doing, but through being.** 🔗 Stay Connected: Join my WhatsApp community to stay in the loop about future circles & classes: 👉 [Click to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwy4GT3zeM8ywHHR931A1 "https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwy4GT3zeM8ywHHR931A1") 📸 **Click to follow me on Instagram for more:** [aga.tokarskaa](https://www.instagram.com/aga.tokarskaa?igsh=MTUzOGtkdjhoOHkweA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr "https://www.instagram.com/aga.tokarskaa?igsh=MTUzOGtkdjhoOHkweA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr") **About me:** Aga is a **yoga teacher and transformational life coach** devoted to guiding others on the journey from overwhelm to inner peace. Her work supports those with busy, overthinking minds in **creating calm, clarity and confidence:** one breath, one choice, one breakthrough at a time. With her North Node in Scorpio, Aga's soul mission is **all about transformation: letting go of control, trusting the unknown and living from deep inner truth rather than external expectations.** After leaving behind a structured corporate path, she committed to creating a life led by intuition, embodiment and spiritual growth. Her journey has taught her to embrace change, follow the soul’s whispers and live from a place of empowered surrender. Through her women’s circles, Aroma Yoga sessions and coaching, Aga now holds space for others to do the same: to remember who they truly are, reconnect with their inner power, and create lives rooted in **freedom, authenticity and feminine wisdom.**
