**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/intro-to-woodturning-120/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/intro-to-woodturning-120/) **⋆⋆⋆** If you have ever seen wood turned on a lathe and been intrigued by the bowls and forms made on it, this one-day workshop will demystify the technique and teach you basic techniques to make a simple bowl and a hardwood barreled pen. You will be led by expert, Nathan Cardwell who is a passionate woodworker and a patient tutor. When not with us, he teaches woodwork in a London boy’s school. Nathan will introduce the parts of the lathe and explain how to safely secure your work, the methods to use with each chisel and how to sand and finish your projects. During the day you will learn the ’Headstock method’ to make a small bowl in hardwood and ‘Spindle turning’ to make a wooden tube that fits into a metal pen mechanism. We will supply everything so come with curiosity and enthusiasm and leave with satisfaction, a bowl and a ready-to-use rollerball pen. We will also advise you on how to continue this fascinating hobby with guidance on buying your own lathe, tools and timber.

**7.00 - The Old Brewery, The Old Royal Naval College, SE10 9LW** **8.15/8.30 - The Cutty Sark, 4-6 Ballast Quay, SE10 9PD** **9.45 - Trafalgar Tavern, Park Row, SE10 9NW** We didn't get to Greenwich last year because Cutty Sark Docklands Light Railway station was closed, so I thought we'd head there for the first of our slightly more ambitious summer events. Strictly speaking, it's the last day of the astronomical spring with the summer solstice not until Sunday (9.24 in the morning, since you ask), but we should get a good view of the sunset from The Cutty Sark, which stands more or less on the Meridian. The Old Brewery - [https://www.oldbrewerygreenwich.com/](https://www.oldbrewerygreenwich.com/) \- is just a short walk from Cutty Sark station\. Turn left out of the station and when you emerge from the shopping arcade cross over the road into College Approach\. Walk down to the end of College Approach and cross over into The Old Royal Navy College \(College Way\)\. Walk down to the end of the building on the left and you'll find the pub just before you reach the patch of green space\. For Cutty Sark station, the most obvious connection to the underground network is at Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line). From the underground station, follow the signs to Heron Quays DLR station and from there it's five stops heading towards Lewisham from Platform 1. Alternatively, the DLR connects with the National Rail network at Greenwich and Lewisham. From Greenwich, Cutty Sark station is only one stop heading towards Bank from Platform 3. There are half-hourly services to Greenwich from Cannon Street via London Bridge. From Lewisham, it's four stops heading towards Bank. There are frequent services to Lewisham from Cannon Street and Charing Cross via London Bridge. As the travelling will be a bit more challenging than normal for some of us, I have put up slightly earlier starting and finishing times so there's a bit more leeway to get home at the end of the night. The plan is to move on to The Cutty Sark\, 4\-6 Ballast Quay\, SE10 9PD \- \[Cutty Sark \| Young's Pub near the River Thames\, Greenwich \([cuttysarkse10.co.uk](http://cuttysarkse10.co.uk/))](https://www.cuttysarkse10.co.uk/) - at around 8.15/8.30 and then the Trafalgar Tavern, Park Row, SE10 9NW - http://www.trafalgartavern.co.uk/ - at around 9.45. All of the pubs have outside areas, so that's where we'll be if the weather's fine. As ever, we may do things differently on the night. Please take a note of my number - 07761-816862 - so that you can phone me if you can't find us **(but no texts or messaging please)**.

Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey. Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen. This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are. *Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115* *Payment Options: Venmo or Cash* **Please RSVP to [Caitlynn](https://kalikwellnesswithin.org/) via** **email @ [kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com](mailto:kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com)** **text @ ‪(614) 407-4021‬** 💫
