**Cosmic Souls,** **A very warm welcome to anyone who is considering booking this session.** **I am back in the stunning Beckenham Mansion; a place like no other and a magical location that is loved by so many.** A grand, old building with an adjoining park right around the corner from New Beckenham train station. Bring a friend or two and get ready to be bathed in the healing frequencies of the gong. This session will honour the lunar cycle. We will tune into the power of the Full Moon and focus on bringing healing to past versions of ourselves as we step into a bolder way of being. Our evening together will involve an overview of the full moon and how it may affect you; followed by a guided meditation. Once you are in a state of deep rest, you will be taken on a cosmic gong journey. There will be space at the end for snacks and to draw an oracle card (or two)! All you have to do is turn up with an open heart & mind, chill on your yoga mat and melt into the floor :-) The gong, with its mighty roar and gentle whisper, helps us to tap into our innate wisdom and stillness within. ## IMPORTANT BITS AND BOBS: **ARRIVAL:** **Please arrive 5 minutes before the session begins and avoid being late, as late-comers cannot be admitted. Session will start at 7:00 pm.** There is no reception desk in the mansion and once the session is in flow I can't admit anybody in. Therefore, please be punctual. **WALKING THROUGH THE PARK IN THE EVENING:** The mansion is located in the middle of the park. There are large fairly lights that light up the path leading from the main entrance at Beckenham Hill Road to the mansion. Currently, there aren't any additional streetlamps. If you are driving, you can drive all the way up to the mansion - please close the wooden gate behind you. I will provide the access code in the preparation email, sent before the event takes place. **EQUIPMENT: Please bring your own yoga mats blankets (sleeping bags). Dress extra warm in layers. This is an old Georgian mansion and it can get a bit chilly in the winter months, I can't stress this enough.** Please be punctual, we start at 7 pm sharp. I allow an additional 10 minutes for latecomers but after that, the doors will be closed. ## CONTRAINDICATIONS: Please be advised that by booking your ticket to this event, you are also in agreement that the session is safe for you and that you take full responsibility for your own health & well-being.

She holds transformative spaces in London and will open her books for 1:1 bookings soon. She is a mother to two young girls and spends her time chasing fairies in the park or baking cupcakes. She trained in many disciplines but sound healing and in particular the gong captured her heart. She sends gratitude to her teachers of Tone of Life and Leo Cosendai.

**Love dancing to hedonistic, high‑energy dance tunes?** Then join for our second edition of an euphoric, high‑octane dance music night with one of the finest French Swiss **dance‑music DJs and Producers** out there dropin phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves to in one of the most iconic venues in London’s clubland — **KOKO** Camden, in the home of music. Collectively - their music has amassed over 18 million streams. So expect a proper club‑night experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obvs there will be no uncool mainstream "touristy" pop rubbish but proper dance music - think - ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise, Studio 54 (Brooklyn**)** spun by global DJs renowed in the genre. We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish heavily skewed toward 20s men. **Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting dance music and dancing to it - please don't rsvp and deprive genuine musical dancers an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay till 5am like last time but as per most proper clubs - the real revellers don't usually arrive untill 1ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine - I'm not a biochemist - try your local Boots! **=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===** The only downside is we have to get in there before 11pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 10.30pm is understandably way too early to go a club (hence the free tickets) - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link. We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing and socialising so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other ravellers once they arrive. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out Lucas The Raver

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
