How to work in meditation. We may have tried out a little meditation practise but how do we find out how to work in meditation overcoming the hindrances and applying the antidotes to difficulties and forming the foundation for higher states of consciousness. With Steve Hart.

Part of the 2025 Leeds Mindfulness Festival

Join us on Wednesday 10th September for LGBTQ+ social gaming!

BYOBG - Bring your own board games!
Although we'll be bringing a selection of games, we’d love you to bring and share your favourite games with others in the community.

The cafe will be open with a selection of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks available to purchase. We welcome anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, either solo or as a group. There will be volunteers on hand to help you settle into the social environment.

Under the careful guidance of designer/maker Florence, you will be shown how to hand-manipulate a selection of Ordnance Survey* maps to create a beautiful geometric shade. Each shade will be completely unique and can be used with a table lampstand or as a small ceiling shade.

*For this workshop you can request specific map locations - perhaps of a special place you live in or love to visit

Please make these requests no later than 2 weeks before the workshop date (email florencemake@outlook.com to arrange this)

We are delighted to welcome singer/songwriter Joe Topping (semi-finalist on The Voice, ‘A weaver of dreams’ - Sir Tom Jones) is a brilliant folk singer and multi instrumentalist from Liverpool whose singing and guitar playing regularly moves listeners to tears.

As if that wasn’t enough, there will also be folk duo SteamTown described as ‘the real deal’ and prolific songwriter Lewis Pugh who has influences ranging from bluegrass, country and folk.

£15 online, £20 at the door.
