Death Cafe is an opportunity to gather in community and discuss death in a curious, spacious way. Death Cafe is not a therapy session or bereavement support, rather, it's a space to discuss the complexities of life and death. These gatherings have no agenda and cannot offer answers regarding grief or loss. Your facilitator may offer topics of discussion however, the conversation will be organic and unfolding. Grab a cup of tea and join us! 

This event is online and will be hosted over zoom. This is a free offering.

On October 31st, Halloween intersects with our monthly Death Cafe and a special Hindu festival, Kali Puja. Celebrate life and death with us on Thursday night by honouring our guiding vision, Kali Maa. We will create an altar and offering for Kali puja, then talk about death (and birth!).

Kali Puja is a sacred ceremony, and we intend to honour it as much as possible while infusing the experience with our Kali Collective flare. We ask that you wear red, orange or black and bring a small offering such as flowers, incense or sweets. We will have offerings at the studio if you aren't able to bring anything.

Our evening begins at 7:15 pm and will end at 8:45 pm. We ask for a £5 contribution to cover basic costs or attend for free.

Animal flow is a movement practice designed to improve strength, power, flexibility, mobility and coordination. Sam will break down the key elements of Animal Flow and give you lots of time to play with some flows. An afternoon of fitness and fun awaits you.

The classes will build upon each other, and progression will be guided over time for those who regularly attend; however, no prior experience is required, and all levels are welcome!

Investment: £15

All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable.

What can I expect from an Animal Flow class?

Classes begin by warming up and mobilising our body in preparation for the practice ahead. We then explore the key positions for the workshop. Detailed information and demonstrations are given about each movement before time is given to practice. Transitions between these positions comes next. These will be the building blocks for our final flow at the end of class. Understanding the language and knowing how to write flows is also explored. We finish with some stretches that are based on improving our postures from the class. This part of the class is relaxing and restorative to send you away feeling good after the workout from the flow.

How can Animal Flow transfer over to help me in my yoga practice?

Animal flow has been inspired by yoga and a lot of the postures share similarities.  Strength and stability is at the core of Animal Flow practice and this can positively effect how we find balance and stillness in yoga.  

Is Animal Flow suited for all levels?

Our workshops are designed to be achievable for all levels and abilities. Lessons are all based off of the Level 1 syllabus which will offer people a gentle look into what Animal Flow is. More challenging movements and progressions are then given for those who would like them and those that attend on a regular basis.

How do you see progression over time with this style of practice? 

Attending our workshops is like building up a library of transitions and postures. Upper body strength and wrist mobility improvements are also a big advantage of regularly training Animal Flow.

Join Rhona Warwick Paterson (@firsthandstudio) and Laura Wright for a deep dive into the therapeutic benefits of clay.

This workshop is unique. It is not object focussed, it is instead designed to connect with a deeper primal experience. This is for anyone who feels they left their creativity in childhood and to find inspiration within themselves.  We will work with clay to create inner space to get lost in the flow of creation.

This is a 2 hour immersive class combining breathing techniques, simple movements, sound and the healing clay body terracotta as a grounding force.

Rhona is a sculptor, writer and founder of First Hand Studio. Working with recent advances in the field of neuroscience she has been exploring methods of material handling in relation to clay’s capacity to elevate consciousness, neurogenesis and theta wave activity.

Laura is a yoga teacher and psychotherapist passionate about bringing awareness to unique therapeutic modalities.

A three hours yin and restorative practice guided by Laura and Emily.

Sometimes the nervous system needs time and tender care to drop from a state of high arousal and into a place of deep rest. Altered states is an invitation to get deep into the tissues, calming the nervous system in order to float between the present and our subconscious. The intention is to create a space where time slips away and dreamy slumber is welcomed.

This practice is limited to a small group so that attention can be fully given to props, adjustments, and touch.

Investment: £40
