This workshop is a public inquiry into 'Climate Change' and explores consensus-building and collaborative inquiry techniques.  Participants will come to explore 'Climate Change' in a very personal, way broadening their own perceptions of it and better understanding their own positions to it.  The personal will be mirrored off the many views of the collective in a way that can extend comprehension to begin to build ground for consensus. 

The workshop is open to all.  It is suited to those interested and concerned about 'Climate Change' and for those interested in collective decision-making processes.  Please see attached flyer for more details and important information.

Brand new skill-sharing Creative Writing Workshop. All levels extremely welcome. In fact, as long as you can spell your own name, you're in. And if Irvine Welsh wants to turn up, all the better! It's structure will be relatively informal, based primarily on skill-sharing with fellow scribblers - a chance to share work and give/receive constructive criticism. We'll also try some short writing exercises on chosen themes, such as Character or Dialogue, with group consensus on what we cover the next week. So if you want to work on a specific aspect of your writing, we'll endeavour to accommodate. For more info, e-mail Jo the workshop runner at:

Chi Kung ( also called qi gong – pronounced chee-gung ) is an ancient Chinese art of inner

peace and inner balance. Almost every modality of healing believes that there is a life force

within us. The Chinese call this chi, which means energy.

Chi Kung is used to keep this chi in balance and it is believed that when this chi is in balance

every aspect of the body works more efficiently thus creating optimum health. Chi Kung is

believed to stimulate the immune system in ways other methods seem unable, making most

self healing possible. Our bodies are meant to heal themselves of any ailment. More importantly,

Chi Kung is used extensively in China as a preventative measure against most common diseases.
