Public Speaking Practice Thursdays
Come and get the chance to speak in a supportive and friendly environment. Public Speaking will boost your confidence and give you more power to speak and to be listened to in both your personal and professional life.
**What makes this public speaking session different from others you ask?**
There is a strong emphasis on self-expression, creativity, trial and error, and most importantly, speaking practice!
**What will you gain from this event?**
* Gain confidence by overcoming your fear of public speaking
* Learn to think on your feet with our Impromptu speaking format
* Get feedback and improve your public speaking with a real audience
* Tips and opportunities to practice: body language, voice, tone, pitch, uses of stories, use of pauses, humour, etc...
**Here's how it works:**
\*I may choose to change the format from time to time based on numbers, and to practice different aspects of public speaking in order to keep it challenging\*
You will put your name in a hat/bowl and when your name is chosen, you will be asked to perform.
You will speak for 2 minutes on a random topic given by the audience. This is called an impromptu speech.
We will do 2-3 rounds of speaking followed by a feedback session at the end of the workshop.
**Public Speaking suggestions:**
TIP: Give your impromptu speech the following 3 sections below.
1. Introduction ("Today, I'm going to talk about....")
2. Body ("Here is my personal experience....")
3. Conclusion ("So, my key message is ....")
Each speech is to be 2 minutes long. Audience size 10-15 people.
You're not obligated to speak, although I may strongly encourage you to do so.
**What to bring:** Yourself only- There are no mandatory necessities which you must bring.
**Dress Code:** There is no dress code. It is best practice however, that you wear the attire for the occasion which you are practicing for.
**Where to find us:**
**Closest underground stations:** Bank, Monument, Liverpool Street, Aldgate - All 5 minutes walk away
**Theatre Delicatessen**
**107 Leadenhall Street**
**EC3A 4AF**

Online gentle Yoga, Qi gong and meditation for inner peace
Come and join me for some **energising Yoga, healing Qi gong and relaxing meditation** and connect with some lovely people. This is your “me” time to nourish your mind, body and spirit, release energy blockages holding you back, heal your body and lift your spirits ☺️
“I've been going to Sarah's Qi Gong class for nearly 3 years, and it is amazing. Many a time I start off the class feeling out of sorts and low and I come away feeling so peaceful and trusting that everything will be OK. Sarah is an amazing teacher and so welcoming and has a very strong healing energy about her, and the small group of women has formed a really nice bond. There is a varied mix of things we do in the class including energy medicine, yoga stretches, sometimes dance, meditation, chakras- the list goes on! I have health issues and it is a really good healing rest for my body. So glad I found it and Sarah- wouldn't miss it for the world.” Grace, Sheffield
I have been running this special class since lockdown and have a group of regular people who attend (which doesn’t show on RSVP). We have created a **beautiful high vibrational energy** in this class that is healing, nurturing and uplifting.
🌺 Yoga is known to help **release tension from the muscles** where we hold stress, this in turn releases tension from the mind. We will do spiritual yoga which is the traditional form of yoga. It’s gentle, slow, meditation in movement.
🌺 Qi gong is an ancient Chinese healing practice which is gentle yet powerful at calming the mind, **clearing energy blockages** and healing the body. We will do various movements each week such as techniques that help with digestion & adrenal glands to restore your energy that I will share intuitively where I feel guided.
🌺 Donna Eden energy exercises are a form of gentle movements that help boost the immune system and clear stuck energy which causes low mood and lack of motivation. We also do **chakra clearing** to help you to feel more emotionally balanced.
🌺 Meditation to help calm mind chatter and breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and lift the mood. I also guide you through a gratitude practice at the end that **helps you to manifest what you desire!**
**ENERGY EXCHANGE**\~ £6 only. Although this is a very uplifting healing class that is of high value, I keep the price low so that it’s accessible to everyone.
Book your space here: https://buytickets.at/sarahmonreal/676431 & you will receive the zoom link via email. Check your junk box just in case.
If you wish to do the class in your own time. Here’s the link to get your recording. It’s £5 and is 50 minutes long. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sarahalvarez/496209
**What you need to bring**
If you have a yoga Matt that’s great, if not you can do the exercises on the floor. I recommend investing in a yoga Matt so you can do the floor movements comfortably. Amazon and EBay sell reasonably priced yoga matts from £10. Please also have a cushion nearby as you may need it for some movements.
\*\*By participating in this class you agree to take full responsibility for your health and even though this class is gentle, contacting your doctor if you have a medical condition which you are concerned about may affect your ability to participate. You are advised to listen to your body during the class & do what feels comfortable. You are welcome to sit during many of the qi gong moves, it will be just as powerful.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Testimonials from regular attendees
Sarah is always so welcoming, friendly and relaxed, creating a wonderful space for us to focus on ourselves. I love the blend of different practices where my body is gently stretched, my mind calmed and my spirit nourished. No matter how I feel beforehand I always feel relaxed and uplifted afterwards. I would highly recommend this to everyone! Susie, Kent
I’ve been doing Sarah’s class for a few years and find it very helpful. The moves are easy to do yet have a big impact. I always feel better afterwards. Jacquie, London

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below:
Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
