Good news they are offering 50% off on their menus After finding success on Tottenham Court Road, Nina and Alexis Melikov are opening a second London outpost of their Latin American restaurant Tigermilk, and it’s a whopper. The new 280-seater spot in Spitalfields is more like a hacienda than a restaurant. Inspired by the grand estates of Cuernavaca, Tigermilk Spitalfields will boast a number of interconnected spaces, including a courtyard, a dining room, an orangery and a six-metre-high bar stocked with over 2000 bottles. Like the OG, the menu at Tigermilk features cochinita pibil tacos, truffle quesadillas, ceviches, large sharing dishes like lamb al brasero and beef barbacoa, and indulgent desserts like maracuyá tiramisu and dulce de leche cheesecake.

Following our critically acclaimed productions of OTHELLO, MACBETH and TWELFTH NIGHT the Acting gymnasium's Saturday workshop returns to Theatre Deli on Saturday 28th March with a new imagining of Shakepeare's CORIOLANUS. Plenty of superb roles available!! Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, Coriolanus, a fierce and proud Roman general, earns fame after defeating Rome’s enemies, especially at Corioli. Despite his military success, he despises the common people and refuses to flatter them for political gain. Urged to seek public office, his arrogance alienates citizens, leading to his banishment. In anger, he allies with his former enemy Aufidius and marches against Rome. As destruction looms, his mother, Volumnia, pleads with him to spare the city. Moved by her words, he relents, choosing honor over revenge. His decision saves Rome but seals his fate, as he is killed for betraying his allies in return.

𝀌 Looking for personal growth? 𝀌 Want to love and be loved? 𝀌 Is your partner annoying you? 𝀌 Facing health issues? 𝀌 Struggling with money or stuck in business? **What We Offer** 𝀌 Family Constellations 𝀌 Universal Therapy 𝀌 Self-development games 𝀌 Memory and creativity exercises 𝀌 Tea & Coffee break and networking Family Constellations is an advanced approach to problem-solving that helps you gain clarity, overcome inner conflicts, and make positive changes. **Family Constellation** It is a systemic method that explores how problems in our life might be connected to our family relationships, even from past generations. The basic idea is that every group (a family or a business team) is a system where everyone is connected. If the system is unbalanced, for example by excluding a family member or carrying unresolved trauma (like losing a family member in a war), it can affect the whole system and cause problems. It is based on the principle that there’s a Knowing Field (Energy-Information Field) containing everything – past and present, the collective energy and the family’s emotional history. Though not fully understood and scientifically backed, everyone can experience it. When we connect to this Field, the real dynamics behind your situation become visible. **Universal Therapy** It’s a more advanced method combining Family Constellations with Gestalt, Body therapy, Quantum psychology, and Theta healing. The core principle is simple: to solve any problem, find its root. And the root lies in Truth. Sometimes simply seeing the Truth is enough for healing to start. Like detectives, we find the root. Once found, we work with it and address the issue. The process can be surprisingly efficient because we go straight to the cause rather than spending months discussing symptoms. **Many people experience meaningful results within 1–2 sessions, but each case depends on the nature of the problem.** **More information about Family Constellations [https://studioadorio.com](https://studioadorio.com "https://studioadorio.com")** ### **How a Session Works** \- We sit in a circle\. One person \(the Issue Holder / Client\) presents a challenge\. \- As an Issue Holder: You get to sit back and look at your problem from the outside through a systemic lens\. Seeing the "map" of your life move in front of you provides instant clarity\. \- As a Representative: I will ask participants to stand in for people or elements related to that challenge \(e\.g\.\, a father\, a boss\, "Money\," or a "Goal"\)\. Your only job is to notice your body’s signals: a tingling in your hands\, a shift in emotion\, or a sudden thought\. Trust what you feel\. This role is often just as healing as being the client\. Being a Representative is not mandatory. You are welcome to just watch and absorb the energy of the field. The process is completely safe. You cannot “take on” anything that doesn’t belong to you. Sometimes an emotional surge appears, but this is always your own energy coming up to heal. The Field shows only what you are ready to face. If you need to process what comes up, lean on your therapist, supervisor, or friends. I am also here if you need to contact me for guidance or follow-up support [https://studioadorio.com/contact](https://studioadorio.com/contact "https://studioadorio.com/contact") ### **Why Is It Useful?** • It can identify the root causes of problems when other methods fail. • It offers new perspectives for resolving conflicts or making decisions. • Healing one person in the system leads to healing the entire system. **Where?** Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith & Fulham, London, W12 8BA. The exact location will be sent to your email after booking. **Cost:** £30 flat fee (covers both representatives and issue holders) **For whom?** For people over 25 years old. The group is limited to 8 participants. **Facilitator:** **Kateryna Goodzenko** – Family Constellations and Universal Therapy Practitioner (Ukraine) ### **Commitment & Self-Care** \- By signing up for any of my sessions and workshops you agree to co\-create a safe\, inclusive\, respectful and confidential space for everyone in the group \- Due to the intense emotional nature of constellations\, by joining you agree to take full responsibility for your emotional\, mental\, spiritual and physical well\-being before\, during and after the group\, which also means contacting me if you require assistance\. **Ready to start?** **Come for the benefits and the fun!** **Please get tickets here [https://rb.gy/5h3xkk](https://rb.gy/5h3xkk)** **Questions?** Message Kateryna on WhatsApp [+4474 6969 0203](https://wa.me/447469690203 "https://wa.me/447469690203") **Cancellation:** 3 days' notice required for a refund (excludes Eventbrite fees). **This event is not a substitute for therapy.** It is a self-development workshop and is not a substitute for clinical therapy or medical treatment.

Our workshops are typically 1 to 1 and a half hours long and held in-person. Our workshops cover the same content as the online course, but they are more detailed and allow the chance to ask questions and have discussions with the presenters and other residents. We occassionally have "advanced topics" classes where you dive deeper into one topic of Community Backyards such as invasive vs. native plants or rain gardens.** **Registration is encouraged but not required.** You can register in advance to receive your voucher at the workshop. If you don't register in advance, that's okay - you can still show up (unless otherwise noted - which is very rare) and sign up for a voucher at the class, and we will send you one via email or mail within a few business days after the workshop. **"Do I have to be a resident of that community to attend that workshop?"** Nope! Our workshops are open to everyone (unless otherwise noted - which is extremely rare). You can attend a workshop that best suits your schedule even if it is in a different community than your own. **"Why is registration closed?** Can I just show up?" Yes, you can show up without registering! We close registration typically 1-2 days before the workshop to give the vouchers and materials to the presenters. However, you are always welcome to just show up and fill out a short form to request a voucher at the workshop. If eligible, we will send one to you within 1-2 business days after the workshop. **Voucher note**: Classes are free for everyone but vouchers are for residents of Franklin county or participating community (list here: https://www.communitybackyards.org/participate) 2026 Participating Vendors: City Folk's Farm Shop, Fisher's Gardens, Leaves for Wildlife, Scioto Gardens, Hoover Gardens & Gift Center, and the FSWCD/SWACO Compost Bin Sale. *when redeeming your voucher at a vendor, Please bring a physical copy of your voucher to receive an immediate discount on your purchase.
