The Breakdown
Join us this Wednesday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM for **"The Breakdown: Why is Christianity True? Hard Evidences for Faith."** Skeptics are completely welcome! We will be diving into tough topics such as why Christianity stands out among thousands of religions, science in the bible, bible predictions, archeology, the paradox of free will, divine hiddenness and the problem of evil and suffering.
For Christians:
Can you handle these questions?
* How do i know the Bible hasn't been changed?
* How do I know Jesus Christ was real? And then how do I know what's written in that book is real versus just some guys thousands of years ago made a book?
* Are these people saying that they saw him walk out? Are they saying that they just saw it empty? What is the claims being made about his resurrection from these witnesses?
* Who decided that there should be 39 books in the Old Testament?
* Should there be more books in the Bible?
**Agenda**
* **7:00 PM:** The Evidence (Examining the evidences)
* **7:35 PM:** Open Q&A
**What to Bring**
Bring your hardest questions! Any thing we can't answer initially will become a fun research topic! There are no limits for the open Q&A session.

Wednesday Acting Workshop - Blood Wedding
Our acclaimed Wednesday workshop returns - we'll be looking at Lorca's classic drama exploring fate, passion, and societal expectations.
A bride elopes with her former lover on her wedding day, triggering deadly consequences. Rich in poetic symbolism and folk traditions, the play confronts love’s destructive force and the inevitability of death and honor.
We will be working towards A FULL PRODUCTION in April 2026..
If you'd like to get involved email: actinggymnasium [at] [gmail.com](http://gmail.com/)

**DONE WITH SWIPING? READY FOR REAL CHEMISTRY?**
London professionals — it’s time to log off and show up. **Welcoming Drink!**
If you’re 50+, social, and completely over dating apps, this night is for you. No algorithms. No ghosting. No endless texting. Just real conversations, real energy, and real sparks.
### 💃 Ice Break the Right Way
Forget awkward small talk. We kick things off with guided dance sessions designed to loosen you up, get you laughing, and make introductions feel natural — not forced. Movement creates chemistry. Trust us.
### ❤️ Back to Traditional Dating
Remember when dating meant:
* Meeting face-to-face
* Making eye contact
* Feeling nervous (in a good way)
* Asking someone for their number
* Actually planning a proper date
That’s what we’re bringing back.
This is traditional dating with a modern twist — respectful introductions, genuine conversation, and the chance to build real connection from the very first hello.
### 📍Barbican-City of London, Convenient Location
Easy to get to after work. Close to transport links. Stylish venue. Effortless vibe.
### ✨ Who’s It For?
People who:
* Are serious about meeting someone
* Miss traditional dating values
* Prefer presence over profiles
* Want quality connections in a relaxed setting
### 🥂 What to Expect
### Welcome to Sparks & Steps — where we bring back traditional dating with elegance, confidence, and a touch of excitement.
* Your evening begins with a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect way to relax and settle into the atmosphere.
* Then we turn up the energy with salsa dancing and Latino vibes — fun, guided, and designed to break the ice naturally. No pressure, no awkward introductions — just movement, laughter, and connection.
* As the night unfolds, the music softens into a more relaxed rhythm, creating space for meaningful conversations.
* Not sure how to start the chat? Don’t worry — we’ve placed conversation cards on each table to help spark engaging, effortless discussions.
**And here’s where it gets exciting…**
🌹 If you meet someone you’d like to know better, simply pick up a rose and ask for their number. A simple, confident gesture — just like traditional dating should be.
This isn’t speed dating.
This isn’t a night club.
This is dating the way it used to be — confident, intentional, and in person.
**Limited spaces. Real people. Real potential.**
Ready to meet someone the traditional way?

In person peer-led support group for survivors of complex trauma
**Complex Trauma Support Group**
Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you.
We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD.
**What to expect at your first meeting:**
Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge.
We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit.
Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time.
The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other.
You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
What Causes Your Roller Coasters in Life?
Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead.
At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away.
Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs.
There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
