Soundbath with Reiki in the Woods

An immersive evening of sound, energy, and nature.

Join Alice (Yoga & Reiki in the Woods) and Charlotte (Soundwaves) for a sacred and soothing collaborative experience in the heart of Otley Chevin Forest Park – a place where the healing powers of sound, energy, and nature come together in harmony.

This unique session weaves together three potent healing practices: the resonant magic of sound, the gentle power of Reiki, and the deeply grounding presence of the forest itself. Each element uplifts and amplifies the others creating a cocoon of rest, release and renewal.

Fourclosure

It’s 1967 and the four horseman of the apocalypse have been summoned for an emergency meeting, and the fate of the world is at stake. These meetings are only called when a cataclysmic event has occurred, so who’s to blame? Is it time to foreclose on Project Earth and collect the residuals for tax?

Cinema Africa: Who Killed Captain Alex?

Straight from Kampala, Uganda, comes Who Killed Captain Alex!!! One of the most authentically DIY films of all time – partially based off director Nabwana’s real experiences growing up during the Ugandan Bush War (1980s), shot on entirely on location with no film permits, and assembled using a computer built from spare parts. The result? One of the most authentically enjoyable action films of all time.

This screening is in partnership with Leeds LASSN who supports refugees and asylum seekers in Leeds.
