Here's what some of our other students have to say about our classes: Dean "I started Bushin a few months ago. Having done martial arts for 5 years in another art, I was open to new ideas of what may come with this one. I am thrilled to say it has been fantastic. My instructor Stephen is a legend, he knows what he's talking about and has a no bs way of getting to a point. He is a lover of martial arts and it shows. His enthusiasm rubs off onto myself and the other students which creates a great learning environment. This art is marvellous, the group is a humble yet enthusiastic class of students coming to learn. I felt like I was part of the group the moment I joined. Higher belted student don't have an ego and are happy to help and train along side anyone in the class. Joining Bushin has been a tremendous experience." Konrad "Great place to learn self-defence . Coach with a passion to MMA show you how to react and defend yourself" Penny "I was completely new to martial arts so I didn't really know what I wanted to learn but I love the way they teach a mixture of martial arts and have a set syllabus. I felt like I was learning boxing, Kickboxing, jujitsu and self defence all in the same class which was great value for money!" Elizabeth "Great class for beginners and those with experience. Stephen is so welcoming and has been great at helping me find equipment and modify exercises to help with my mobility issues! Really recommend for anyone wanting to try martial arts or get fit in a friendly atmosphere :)" Lucia "I joined Bushin after a friend of mine was attacked in London and I thought it was a good idea to learn how to defend myself in case something like that happened to me as well. I didn't have any previous experience of self defense or fighting and I thought that this would hold me back, but it was definitely not the case: people in Bushin are so welcoming and nice to each other, always ready to help - it's truly a place for every level, from beginner to black belt. It's much more than a self defense class, it's real street fighting and a super good workout as well , but most importantly, it's great fun! I highly recommend it" Check out these and our other reviews for yourself!: [Club Reviews](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Gm9DV2xyYun55UqS8) And most importantly BOOK YOUR FREE TRIAL TODAY!

You are lovingly invited to a free online gathering beneath the Alcyone Gateway. Alcyone is the Central Sun of the Pleiadian star system, and the Alcyone Gateway—held between the 19th and 21st of May—is a sacred alignment in which this Great Mother Sun aligns with our own Sun, allowing the heart and inner truth of humanity to become gently saturated with Pleiadian wisdom and light. For this gateway, the Beloved Star Mothers will channel through Kahreela An-Ra, offering a gentle teaching and activation on Field Manifestation. This is a soothing transmission on bringing more beauty into your orbit of manifestation by learning how to receive with love. The Alcyone Gateway is the second gateway within a trinity of May Gateways, and each of these sacred thresholds offers an opportunity to propel yourself into greater flow. The first gateway opens through healing. The second opens through dreaming. The third opens through enlightening. This year, these gates are opening through the body, which is why many people are experiencing intense physical sensations and purges. Spirit says this offering will help to ease the body out of healing and into dreaming, as the light of your field becomes fertile… This transmission will also include a reflection on the Legend of Alcyone and how this story can nurture our lives. This offering is gifted to you with love from Kahreela and the Star Mothers.

Have you been feeling like no matter what you say, others don't understand? Like there isn't a safe space for you to speak? So tired of explaining yourself that not saying anything is easier? If yes, this get-together is for you. **What is Unspoken?** Unspoken is an intimate, in-person get-together for 9 women in London, held in a beautiful park with a small cafe. It's a space where we share our truth surrounded by women who will actually listen. Not question, not advise, not judge, not fix... Just listen. This isn't a workshop. There's no teaching, no framework, no agenda. It's a soft afternoon outdoors, where women come to finally say what they've been holding, or to listen to others doing the same. **Why I'm hosting this** I'm Eva, the founder of Heart X Mind, a neuroscience-informed approach to identity and emotional wellbeing. A couple of months ago, during a meditation, I had a vision of women gathered around me in a park, vibrating at a sacred frequency, speaking a truth only they could understand. I didn't know what it meant... Until recently. I'd been struggling to use my voice for weeks. So I sat in meditation and asked myself what I truly wanted. The answer came fast and clear: 'Listen.' The second I said it, my shoulders dropped, my body softened, and the vision came back more vivid than ever. A beautiful get-together of women where all I do is give them space to speak their truth. Because they need to be heard. And all they need from me right now is to listen. This is why I've created Unspoken. **What the afternoon will look like** We meet at a park with a beautiful little cafe. We grab snacks, a coffee, whatever feels good, and then we do whatever our body tells us to. If you want to share what's been weighing on you, you share. If you want to listen, you listen. If you want to lay in the grass and look at the sky, you do that. This is YOUR space. **Why 9 women only** To respect the sacred energy. 9 in numerology symbolises the closing of cycles. Today we close the cycle where you shrink your voice, and open the one where you unapologetically speak your truth. **Details** 📍 A London park (exact location shared with confirmed attendees) 📅 Saturday 23rd May 2026 🕑 2pm 💛 Free to attend **What to bring** * Yourself, exactly as you are * A blanket * A pillow if you fancy it * Snacks if you want them, or you can grab them at the cafe (they have some beautiful cakes too) **Who this is for** Self-aware women in London who are ready to be heard, ready to listen, and ready to spend an afternoon in nature with other women on a similar journey. You don't need to be in crisis, you don't need to know what you'll share, you just need to listen to your body. DM and I'll send you the exact location. You've been quiet for a long time, now it's your time to speak.

## ***Join emerging Gen Z leader Akshay Kuchibhatla for this special workshop. Move beyond expectations and make choices that feel right for you.*** In a time when everyone is trying to figure out who they are, it’s easy to get pulled in different directions, by expectations, social media, relationships, and the pressure to “have it all together.” Somewhere along the way, many begin to feel disconnected from their true self. This workshop is a space to pause, reset, and reconnect with your true self. Come explore who you are at your core, beyond labels, trends, and outside opinions. Through guided reflection, real conversations, and simple mindfulness practices, you’ll gain clarity on your values, strengthen your inner voice, and learn how to make choices that feel right for you. You don’t have to lose yourself to find yourself. You can grow, evolve, and still stay true. Come as you are. Leave more connected, clear, and confident. ***Akshay Kuchibhatla*** *is a thoughtful and emerging Gen Z leader currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at George Mason University.
