Make New Friends

**On the back of our brilliant first experience in November, we’re excited to be bringing it back for round two... with our latest Ceilidh Night!** Yep with Burns Night later this month, we’ll be getting ready for it in the best way possible - lively Scottish folk music, fast-paced dancing, and a room full of friendly faces. We’ll start the evening at a pub in Camden, giving you the chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better, before heading over together to the main event. At the Ceilidh, you’ll be guided through simple steps by an expert caller who keeps things light, energetic, and totally beginner-friendly. And with all the spinning and swapping partners, it’s not only a brilliant way to shake off the work week - it also burns as many calories as a full-on gym session! Once the dancing wraps up, there’ll be time to cool off, share the experience, and grab a drink with your new friends. Best of all, while Ceilidhs can cost over £25 in the city, we’ve secured an amazing discount, **making the whole night just £10.35pp.** This high-energy evening was incredible fun last time and so well-worth joining us for this one! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** To start the event, we will be meeting at a pub for social drinks **from 6:45pm.** However, we'd ask you arrive **no later than 7:15pm,** so that we can head over to the venue together in time for the start of the night. Starting Pub - The Camden Eye, 2 Kentish Town Rd, London NW1 9NX ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/D2oC7h2cr26cfvP59](https://maps.app.goo.gl/D2oC7h2cr26cfvP59)) Closest Tube Stations: Camden Town (3 min walk), Camden Road (5 min walk) Finish time: 10:30PM **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, our project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships. To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

Looking to meet more LGBTQ+ people in 2026? Join us at The London Art Bar for our regular meet-ups hosted by LAB co-founder Gareth. Now in our fourth year, our meet-ups are all about meeting new people, making friends, and having a good time in a queer-friendly space. The meet-ups have a very relaxed vibe with background music at just the right volume for chatting to people! There are also some boardgames on the shelves if people fancy playing them. Feel free to bring your own! I (Gareth) try my best to greet everybody, but this is of course easier at the beginning of the event. If you are ever stuck, say hello to our friendly bar team who can point you in my direction. Come by yourself or bring a friend :)

You never know who you are going meet in this evening and that is the beauty of it! You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a partner in life!

Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;) Oh! and you don't need to ask the awkward question: 'so are you single?' because they all will be! You are very welcome to attend alone or with friends. We will be there making introductions, helping break the ice,, and acting as a glue in the group. We have a reserved area where we can mix and mingle, so that everybody can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. and then we are going to move on the dance floor! Simmons Holborn is a powerhouse of a cocktail bar. Situated slap bang in the Centre of London, it brushes shoulders with Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street. With two floors of utter delinquency to explore and a gigantic DJ booth housed inside an 8-foot disco ball - it's kind of a big deal. The largest of the group's bars, the basement level takes inspiration from all the fun of the fair - sporting big-top style paintwork and walls lacquered with novelty circus posters. The upstairs is more typical of Simmons. Stacks of odds and sods line the venue like a shrine to the good old days. Drink cocktails out of Nanna's crockery and dance to live DJs spinning everything from 00s bops to R&B to soul, The program of the night is as follows : 7:00pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing.

This event requires entry tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1976228848685?aff=oddtdtcreator **This half-day retreat is designed with two intentions:** **👋 to fully close and release 2025** **👏to open, welcome and intentionally step into 2026** 2025 has been a year of completion for many. In numerology it was a **Year 9:** a cycle of endings, clearing and letting go. In Chinese horoscope, it was the **Year of the Snake:** symbolising shedding old skin, releasing what no longer supports us and making space for new. 2026 carries a completely different energy. It is a **Year 1** in numerology, the beginning of a new cycle, and the **Year of the Horse**, which brings forward momentum, new projects, fresh opportunities and the courage to move in the direction of your plans and dreams. **This retreat creates a safe, intentional space to honour both energies.** **We will close the year with time for reflection and a powerful breathwork release and then shift into softness with yoga, intention-setting and a guided visualisation to open the doorway to 2026 with clarity, purpose and grounded confidence.** **What is included:** * journaling and reflection * expansive breathwork * guided intention setting for the new year * yoga session * visualisation * closing circle Join us for optional social after the event and connect with other over a meal or a drink. **Why join?** Because giving yourself the gift of time and space in the begining of the year is so powerful. This retreat will help you pause, reflect and fully release what the past year held, while also guiding you into clarity for what you want to call in next. Doing this work in a group amplifies the experience. The shared energy becomes grounding, motivating and deeply healing - helping you enter 2026 with a clean slate, a clear direction and a renewed sense of self. #### **What to Bring:** * A journal + pen * A water bottle * Light snacks Join my WhatsApp community to stay in the loop about upcoming classes & events: 👉 [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwy4GT3zeM8ywHHR931A1](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwy4GT3zeM8ywHHR931A1 "https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSwy4GT3zeM8ywHHR931A1") See my work on instagram: 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 "https://www.instagram.com/aga.tokarskaa?igsh=MTUzOGtkdjhoOHkweA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr") **Important Information** Breathwork is a safe practise, but it can be a powerful and sometimes intense experience.
