Join us online to talk Social Media For A New Age, as author Katie Brockhurst shares her latest research on the future of social media.

Mark Zuckerberg recently wrote that the future of social media is a move from the Town Square (Facebook/ Instagram Newsfeeds) to the The Living Room (Messenger apps, groups and subscription based models )… Here we will also consider the Campfire as an alternative/ complimentary space for your social media activities and strategies.

Social Media For A New Age : From the Town Square to the Living Room to round the Campfire.
Tuesday 16th July 2019 17:00 - 19:00 pm via Zoom £25

If you would like to use social media in more meaningful way; authentically & confidently creating and sharing content to support you, your ideas, your business, your mission… And if social media stresses you out, makes you feel overwhelmed or obligated to use it to promote yourself or your business…. This session might just be for you.

An afternoon of relaxed and sometimes challenging play exploring vocal improvisation.

Date: Sunday 30th June 2019, 14:00 - 17:00
Venue: The Naval Room, The Archangel, Frome
For up to 12 people

We’ll loosen up our voices, sing, throw caution to the wind and express parts of ourselves that may be shy but won’t be able to resist. Using fun games and structures for accessing and liberating sounds, grooves, words and feelings, we’ll build up rich vocal soundscapes, interacting with our inner voice and with each other.

The session will suit people who already have some confidence in singing, or other forms of improvisation, and are ready to stretch themselves a bit. It's not really a 'find your voice' kind of workshop, although you may well find it, along with other things you didn't know were there.

A day workshop on living an authentic life.

Venue: Kimm's home in Poole, Dorset
Date: 9 Feb 2020
For up to 8 people

Yoga is not just a series of asanas, it is an ancient practice with the fundamental aim of training the body to be able to sit in meditation for long periods of time. The basis of the practice is based around the 8 Limbs of Yoga and the Yamas and Niyamas. These practices are often lost in some of the modern yoga on offer but they are incredibly helpful in assisting us in developing a more peaceful way of living.
This one day workshop is offered to those seeking a deeper understanding of what causes the stresses and imbalances in daily life and how to utilise ancient wisdom to bring greater harmony and gratitude into daily routines. We will look at the benefits of rituals and how to develop our own, the creation of altars and there will be a despacho fire ceremony to round off the day.
Vegan lunch is included.
£100 - full day with full proceeds to Campfire

You can find examples of her work on Campfire where she aims to delve deeply into her senses to produce copy that invokes emotions in the reader.

The day will start with a simple heart opening ceremony and meditation and tea followed by an Awakening Senses Walk and note taking. There will be a vegetarian lunch provided with the afternoon dedicated to putting pen to paper.

Her work as a healer and yoga teacher as well as being a former-journalist enables her to combine these skills to provide a safe space to explore the blockages that stop us from writing deep from our hearts.
