🌌Ever look up like I do and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back and ask the big questions; How it all started, our evolution and place in it, and where else in the cosmos other complex life might exist (almost every star you see at night has planets orbiting with up to **20 billion habitable exoplanets** easily in our galaxy alone!)? 🪐🌟🌟🌟 🌍Then RSVP to view the potential life harbouring moons of **Jupiter**, the 3I Atlas **interstella** **Comet** ☄️(estimated to be 8+ billion years old), the famous **Orion Nebula** where stars like our sun were born, the majestic rings of **Saturn**, the international space station, the Tau Ceti star system with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, star systems, galaxies) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Dec fully hosted by me - a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Journalist covering big picture stories including cutting edge science related ones. 🚀In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined (space exploration, Fermi Paradox, Astrobiology, Cosmology, paleontology, SETI/Drake Equation, exoplanetology etc) as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt I'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard hundreds of times before! If those don't make you laugh, then my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! 👽 **======= Joining Astronomers Group & Telescopes =======** I'm able to take a limited number of people (please only RSVP if you can make it) to join my friendly informal relaxed London amateur astronomers' club that have been for over a decade with their regulars made up of up to about 150 people. As there will be people attending from this private Astronomers group as well as others from one of my other groups - the total attendees will be far higher than rsvps here and the public liability insurance only covers a max number of people - hence I need to impose strict limits on attendance. Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms then there are others groups that will better cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie **==== Food & Drinks With Seating From Warm Indoor Cafe ====** Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cider only), hot drinks and food/snacks will be available to purchase from an indoor cafe at the observation point which Regent's park keep open exclusively for the astronomers group so please don't bring your own drinks **==== ITINERARY =====** We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 15 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation or something that I'm still gonna be writing 2 mins before start - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park **==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Saturn, rings & moon * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Venus & Mercury * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Mars * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event .

To book: www.Barefootyogaandtherapy.com Intro offer £39 for one month of unlimitedee classes Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. It’s usually practiced lying down with a teacher guiding the session. The practice draws our attention inwards, and we learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where our body finds its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) – the breath balances and becomes quiet, unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves, and we fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness. As we rest here, we can turn our attention easily and effortlessly to the very nature of awareness and consciousness. We start to experience the ‘deeper’ features of yogic teachings that previously we perhaps considered intangible, such as feeling our interconnected wholeness and becoming aware of our true, unified nature – expansive, inclusive, and deeply restful.

***How to recognise guidance from Divine Spirit*** "When love fills our heart, it becomes the awakened heart. We suddenly see and understand all there is to know about life itself—that it is good, that it is necessary, and that we exist because God loves us." —Harold Klemp, *How the Inner Master Works,* p. 118. Find out more about how Divine Spirit works in our lives everyday at this ECK Light and Sound Service. An opportunity to experience: * A sacred, ancient mantra (HU) to help you recognise your divine, godlike nature. * Stories of the heart. * The company of others exploring how to live life as a profound spiritual journey. Whatever your faith or background, come and explore your own direct connection with the Divine. All are welcome!

We each have the power to manifest Infinite Possibilities and to live a life of Grace & Ease. To truly know ourselves is, I believe, the greatest gift we can offer to humanity. I am a Divine Channel and Love to create a space in which others can connect to their deeper Heart Self, beyond the mind. My passion for supporting others to remember their Divine Infinite Self takes me to teaching Meditation, Yoga, facilitating wellbeing Workshops, Ceremonies including with Cacao (raw chocolate to open the Heart), Retreats, Conscious Parties, Wellness Festivals & offering Private Wellbeing sessions with Intuitive Heart Wisdom Coaching, Reiki, Breathwork, Indian Head Massage, Yoga Therapy & Meditation Coaching. TESTIMONIALS (of previous Workshops, Retreats & Ceremonies) "The Equinox Retreat was such a beautiful day of sharing, connecting, learning and embracing the seasonal changes. I am so happy I was able to attend and be a part of such a magical day. The environment was so cosy, inspiring and welcoming. Fouzia provides a beautiful safe space for us all to just come and be. She has so much love in her heart, and such gentle guidance. I truly recommend attending one of her events or meeting with her in a one to one session if you haven't already. It was a really amazing day that helped me learn more and set my intentions for what I want in my life. I'm really looking forward to more of Fouzia's events and also the next retreat in November♥ " Jenny, London "The cacao ceremony allowed me to really focus on my intention which was the wish to thrive in my life. The atmosphere was very open, warm and supportive. I gained real clarity about how I wanted my life to look. Since then magical things have happened in my life (landed a dream job, travel, better health) and I feel I can really thank Fouzia for expertly holding the space for deep inner reflection, focus and the consequential manifestation of my wish not just to survive but to thrive." Annie, London "Before the Cacao Ceremony, I had only been to two of your events (The Healing Garden Wellness Festival and a Yoga workshop) but each time I feel such a nurturing and held experience, and that is completely with thanks to your kind and healing energy and the lessons of the heart you so willingly and carefully share. Thank you for being such a giving teacher and reminding me to connect to the heart, over and over as many times as I need. The space you hold is an anchor in itself and helps to steady me for whatever the ocean may bring." Fiona, London A beautiful Cacao Ceremony - a beautiful evening, with beautiful souls...I floated home! "WOW!!!! What an experience!!! Sooo amazing....I felt "drunk" on heart centered love. And my sleep was soooo deep, I felt "drunk" on life - an inside experience - truly amazing! Fouzia Javaid facilitated the evening with love, heart and grace. Very, very tasty Cacao, the best I have EVER tasted! " Caroline, London “I really love the sessions you do, they are the most powerful I have ever experienced.” Arabella, London "Joining Fouzia's sessions are always blissful, beautiful gatherings, amazing vibration, feeling peace, love and a deep sense of relief. Thank you." "I attended Fouzia's cacao ceremony last week, wow!! I had such an amazing experience as I always do at Fouzia's workshops/events. She is a beautiful soul full of love and wisdom and everything she does is from a heart-centered perspective and you can really feel this during the workshops whether it's a cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance or a chakra yoga and meditation workshop. You will be made to feel so welcome and loved and will leave feeling a whole lot lighter, happier, balanced and grounded. She is an inspiration to all and you will reap many benefits from attending any of her events." Louis, London “Fouzia is a gifted teacher of meditation and the living embodiment of its benefits. She radiates calm and compassion... and is an inspiration to anyone seeking self-improvement or simply the means to find stillness in our hectic modern world." Paul, London "I highly recommend Fouzia's classes for anyone wishing to go deeper on their path and leave calm and relaxed, where the feelings stay with you for a good few days after class. You will leave with a deep sense of peace as well as grounded, something much needed in hectic London life. Thank you." Tasha, London “Fouzia is a fantastic teacher, very patient and attentive. Her classes are very gentle but incredibly powerful with a focus on the spiritual side of yoga that is often sadly neglected in the west. I feel like I've had an amazing healing after her classes. Highly recommended!” Suzanne, London "A beautiful loving experience as always...Fouzia radiates so much love and such warmth and guidance." Jenny, London "I have never met someone as warm, loving, understanding, patient and welcoming as Fouzia. She holds space like no other and I feel this is part of why I felt safe enough to release so much where I have not previously. I highly recommend all of her events, they are all always amazing and I always enjoy them more than most others. The Quantum Shift Party is my favourite event of the year in London! I do indeed feel like I had a deep quantum shift at her last cacao ceremony!"

Each gathering may include: * Open discussion on real-life challenges and victories * Guided reflection, prayer, or meditation * Encouragement for living from truth, not fear * Tools for emotional and spiritual growth No preaching.

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg
