**Unfiltered conversations, global perspectives, and cinematic drinks. Topic of the day:** People seem more obsessed with wellness than ever, yet we’re still burnt out and sick. Why is the healthcare system so slow to catch up with new longevity discoveries? From medical corporation's interests to the rise of alternative spirituality and habit-hacking, this debate questions who really controls our health. Let’s talk honestly about what it takes to live healthier for longer. **1\. The Modern Poison:** Which daily lifestyle habit is secretly ruining your health the most? **2\. The Profit Trap:** Is modern medicine designed to actually cure us, or just keep us paying? **3\. The New Frontier:** Would you trust alternative lifestyle methods over traditional doctor advice? *Join a room of international minds, creative professionals, and cosmopolitans for our weekly late-night conversation lounge. We skip the small talk to dive directly into the gray areas of relationships, modern culture, and society.* *Come for the perspective. Stay for the connections.* **🍸 THE VIBE** * **Curated Conversations:** Sharp, spicy, and unfiltered topics.

**Bringing the Soc Mob Back to Life** Sock Mob has been inactive for quite a while. Some time ago I took over this Meetup after receiving notice that it might otherwise disappear entirely. I never intended to run Sock Mob myself. My involvement has really just been to keep the Meetup technically in existence long enough for people connected to Sock Mob to decide whether it still has a future. This meeting is an attempt to bring together anyone interested in that question. Not a relaunch. Not a volunteering pitch. Just an open conversation about whether there is enough interest, energy and practical commitment for Sock Mob to continue in some form — and whether a group of people wants to explore taking it forward together. Tuesday 9th June **6pm for 6.30pm** Holiday Inn Bloomsbury (Lounge/bar area) Coram Street, London WC1N 1HT IYou can also attend the meeting on Zoom. Simply use the link below.

**\*\*\*START AT 11AM** **Ever wondered what's inside those pyramid-shaped parcels at the Chinese restaurant?** Come and make them yourself! This Dragon Boat Festival, we're hosting a hands-on zongzi making workshop at Loong Express — one of the most fun ways to experience Chinese culture, no language skills or cooking experience required. \*\*\* **🏮 A little bit of history** The Dragon Boat Festival (端午节, Duānwǔ Jié) falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month and is one of the most celebrated dates in the Chinese calendar. It honours Qu Yuan, a beloved poet and statesman from ancient China who drowned himself in protest against a corrupt government. According to legend, the local people were so grief-stricken that they rowed out on the river throwing parcels of rice into the water — hoping to keep the fish away from his body. That's how zongzi were born. More than 2,000 years later, the tradition is still very much alive. Every Dragon Boat Festival, families across China gather to wrap sticky rice in lotus leaves, pack them with fillings, tie them with string, and steam them to perfection. It's a labour of love — and today, you're going to try it yourself. \*\*\* **🍃 What we'll be making** Zongzi are parcels of glutinous (sticky) rice wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed until soft and fragrant. They come in sweet and savoury versions depending on the region, and the fillings vary endlessly across China. Today we'll be making a classic savoury zongzi with: * 🍃 Lotus leaves * 🍚 Glutinous rice * 🥚 Salted egg yolk * 🥩 Pork * 🌹 Red dates * 🍬 Sugar Everything is provided — just bring your appetite and your curiosity. \*\*\* **📋 How the session runs** **11:00am** — Welcome & introduction to the Dragon Boat Festival, its history and traditions **11:20am** — Step-by-step zongzi making class led by an experienced teacher. You'll learn how to soak and layer the leaves, portion the rice, add the fillings, fold, wrap, and tie — the full process from scratch. Each person will make **3 zongzi**. **12:30pm** — Your zongzi go into the professional kitchen to be steamed while you relax and mingle **1:00pm** — Sit down and eat what you made! Any zongzi you can't finish are yours to take home. **Optional:** Stay on after the workshop and enjoy lunch at Loong Express restaurant. \*\*\* **👌 Perfect for you if…** * You're curious about Chinese food culture and want to go beyond just eating it * You're looking for a social, fun activity to do with friends or to meet new people * You want to properly celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival * You've never tried making Chinese food from scratch and fancy giving it a go No experience needed. No Chinese language skills needed. Just turn up! \*\*\* **⚠️ A few things to know** * Places are strictly limited to 30 people — this event tends to fill up fast * Please arrive on time as the class starts promptly at 11:00am * Zongzi contain glutinous rice, pork, and egg — please check the ingredients against any dietary requirements before booking * Wear something you don't mind getting a little sticky! \*\*\* We can't wait to celebrate with you. See you at Loong Express! 🐉

John Burns, the trade unionist once famously said of London’s river "Every drop is liquid history". In 1798 a newly formed body of police officers brought much needed law and order to that most historic of rivers. The Thames River Police was the first policing body ever to be set up. Its sole objective was the prevention and detection of crime on the Thames and it was to become the forerunner of many other police forces throughout the world. **Join us for a rare entrance into this museum as part of the ‘Wapping Shindig’ community event run by the Turks Head Charity. (Website under construction).** This small museum located at Wapping police station, which for more than two centuries has been the headquarters of the River Police. The museum is housed in the old carpenters workshop and is administered by the Thames Police Association. It gives an insight into the history of the policing of the River Thames. **Read more here: Review from Wharf Life - [here](https://wharf-life.com/interviews/thames-river-police-museum-is-a-hidden-gem-in-wapping/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 1.15.pm : MEET AT Captain Kidd pub -** 108 Wapping High Street E1W 2NE **(optional) for a cuppa/ drink before we go in** **2pm: ENTER THE MUSEUM together.** Address: **Thames Police Museum,** Wapping Police Station, Wapping High Street, Wapping, E1W 2NE London Self guided look around. This is a small ish museum, and is a rare opening to the public, but I’m hoping we’ll be ok and not too packed here. **3.30 /3.45 ish pm-Late: SOCIAL (optional)** We'll head to a local pub for a social chit chat over drinks. Address: tbc in the event whatsapp group, for attendees likely on the day. **TICKETS:** **The Museum is free, but we are limiting our group size.
