After grounding and heart centering meditation, we open the pathway of the breath using ancient yogic breathing. That allows the body to reconnect with the most healthy and beneficial way of breathing that is often forgotten.* [More information, example videos ](https://www.organicurrent.com/daily-tantric-devotion-1) JOIN THIS SESSION ❤️ [Join this class with 7 Day Free Trial](https://www.organicurrent.com/offers/iq2vi32q/checkout) ❤️ # #### *Agni Chandra* Telegram group: [https://t.me/organicurrent](https://t.me/organicurrent) *Website:* [https://www.organicurrent.com/](https://www.organicurrent.com/) *Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/organicurrent_tantra/](https://www.instagram.com/organicurrent_tantra/)*

In this talk we'll explore Blazor, Microsoft's framework for building web apps with .NET, and how it can leverage WebAssembly to run C# directly in the browser. Adam will take you through what Blazor is and the types of hosting models available, and what WebAssembly is and how it differs from traditional JavaScript-based approaches. Finally, we'll finish with some interactive demos showing the power of Blazor and WebAssembly. **Our Speaker:** **Adam Blakey:** 💼**Adam is a Graduate Software Engineer at Capital One.** Before this, he worked at Savoy Systems on projects ranging from data visualisation and automated testing to a major initiative involving porting a legacy application to a new language. 🧑‍🔬 **In 2024, Adam completed his Mathematics PhD at the University of Nottingham**, where he developed scientific software to simulate blood flow and nutrient transport within the human placenta. 🧑‍💻 **Most of Adam’s work centres on software development**, and in his spare time he predominantly creates websites and bespoke software in PHP, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

**Monday Evening Chanting Circle \| 6:30–8:00pm** Start the week by unwinding your body and mind through voice and sound. This weekly chanting class is a relaxed, welcoming space to come together after work and reset through simple, shared vocal practice. We use a mix of: * Sanskrit mantras * Rainbow songs * Shamanic chants * Gentle voicework Chanting is a form of meditation that works through rhythm, breath, and repetition. You don’t need any musical experience and you don’t need to sing “well.” The voice is used as a natural tool for grounding and release, not performance. Practising regularly can help: * Settle the nervous system after a busy day * Quiet mental over-activity * Release tension held in the body * Improve breathing and vocal ease Chanting in a group makes the practice easier and more enjoyable. The shared sound helps people relax more quickly and feel supported, even if they’re new to using their voice. Over time, regular group chanting can build a sense of stability, clarity, and connection. Each session includes time to arrive, chant together, and rest in stillness at the end, so you leave feeling calmer and more centred than when you arrived. Come as you are. No experience needed. ======== FOR THE BEST PRICE 1\. PayPal \(friends and family option\) [email protected] Add in - Chanting and the class date. 2\. BACS \(contact for details\) 3\.

Archetypal Coaching offers a transformative approach to personal growth, blending ancient Greek astrological foundations and dream work with modern coaching techniques, somatic awareness, and Jungian active imagination. Astrological archetypes illuminate the roots of struggles and highlight potential resources, while dreams act as a focused lens, bringing attention to issues that require immediate exploration. The approach explored within this book emphasizes interactive dialogue with archetypes and symbols, using embodied imagination and somatic awareness to guide clients in creating a personal symbol that embodies their inner process and potential, echoing Jung’s concept of the transcendent function. Supported by six in-depth case studies and numerous examples, the author outlines a holistic framework for integrating astrology and dream work into coaching, emphasizing personal growth and treating archetypes as dynamic tools for creativity and self-discovery. This book will appeal to established coaches, counsellors, and therapists interested in integrating archetypal work into their practice, as well as students of Jungian psychology, coaching, art therapy, astrology, and related fields.

Radical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London at the solar festival of Imbolc, the day before the Imbolc Full Moon in Leo. Sun and Moon energies synchronising here make this a powerful turning point as we approach the end of the year of the wood snake (getting ready for the fire horse) and the end of Neptune and Saturn's time in Pisces, these two planets also lifting our consciousness into the fire territory after the challenging water journey that's been peaking these past months as the spirit prepares us for incoming new vibrational fields. Imbolc is the halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox, from this point the promise of magic is in the air, days are longer and the Aquarian spirit flows forth strongly. Imbolc is the festival of Brigit, the maiden goddess and is associated with divination, poetry and fire. A time to dress up and pray! Leo Full Moon is where we get to uniqueness we each bring to the Aquarian collective consciousness. So also a good time to dress up and play! Take a break from hibernation, come pray, play and warm yourself in queer love ritual - your host Shokti is also celebrating his birthday on this night! (I had a low key 60th so let's make some noise on my 61st!) Drumming, dancing, social. Dress to express your Faerie spirit! We gather from 7 to set up the space and cast circle around 8pm, then drum, dance and socialise through the evening There are lots of drums and percussion to use. you can also bring your own. also welcome to bring snacks to share and your own liquid refreshments donation requested to cover venue hire. £5/£10 as you can afford, cash on door or PayPal to [PayPal.Me](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti) NOTAFLOF - No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds.

This presentation will summarise the results from the National Folklore Survey for England that aims to capture an accurate snapshot of the traditions and beliefs of people who live in contemporary England. It is the first systematic survey of its kind since 1964 and aims to address the lack of data on the cultural value of folklore in post-Brexit, post-pandemic England as a source of resilience and community identity. It includes data on supernatural beliefs and experiences, contemporary legends and a range of folkloric traditions linked to the natural world, domestic life and the changing seasons. The 2-year AHRC-funded project is led by Dr David Clarke and a team of folklore specialists from Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Hertfordshire and Chapman University in California. Dr David Clarke is Associate Professor at Sheffield Hallam University and is Project Lead for the AHRC-funded National Folklore Survey for England. He is co-founder of the Centre for Contemporary Legend at SHU and was curator for the release of the MoD’s UFO files archive at The National Archives 2008-13. His books include The Angel of Mons (2004), How UFOs Conquered the World (2015) and UFO Drawings At The National Archives (2017). His next book, Space Age Folklore, will be published by Reaktion books in 2027.

Step away from the screen and join us for our Offline Women Hangout at the Reading Room. We are meeting to unplug and enjoy a few hours of unstructured time together. There is no set agenda or forced socializing. We simply gather to exist in the same space, screen-free. The Reading Room inside the Wellcome Collection is a unique mix of a library and a gallery. It is filled with over a thousand books and curious historical objects. Unlike a standard library, this is a social space where talking is welcome. It is specifically designed for movement, conversation, and discovery. **What you can do** * **Explore**: Try out the various activities stationed around the room, from creative prompts to interactive displays. * **Read**: Pick up any book from the open shelves or bring your own. * **Create:** Bring your journal or sketchbook to capture thoughts (note: the library allows *pencils only* to protect the books). * **Relax:** Grab a beanbag on the stairs and just exist and people-watch. * **Socialize:** Engage in low-pressure conversation with other Offline Women in the social zones. Spots are limited to ensure the group remains small, intimate, and everyone has a great time connecting face-to-face.
