The "Gay Aprons Only cooking class is back. If you are looking for something fun, cheeky, and a little different for your Saturday night? Don’t miss this. This is a playful and social cooking experience designed for gay men who enjoy great food, learning something new, good company, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a way to explore our masculinity in a safe, respectful, private and non-judgemental environment. We’ll kick off the evening with a glass of bubbles and a selection of antipasti to break the ice. Then, together, we’ll dive into preparing a traditional Italian dish from scratch. This time, you’ll learn how to make "Involtini di tacchino", (Turkey Rolls). Thin slices of turkey breast filled with prosciutto, mushrooms, cheese and herbs, then rolled and secured with a toothpick, cooked with white wine and herbs until tender and flavourful. Served with roasted potatoes and other vegetables. It's a lovely meal to share in great company and with a good glass of wine. The Aprons Only cooking class takes place in a cosy private flat near Victoria Station and is limited to a small group of up to max 10 people, keeping things intimate and relaxed. Cooking together is the perfect way to meet like-minded people, share laughs, learn new skills… and maybe even flirt a little 😉 And yes — as the theme suggests — we’ll be cooking wearing only an apron (provided on arrival). *** What’s included: \- All ingredients for the recipe \- Welcome aperitivo with antipasti and a drink \- Sparkling wine during the class \- Aprons and cooking utensils \- Cooking tips and guidance \- A fun and social evening Important information: \- Full details will be shared a few days before the event \- This experience is for gay men only \- Duration: approx\. 3 hours \(though guests often stay longer to socialise\) Feel free to bring extra drinks if you'd like to continue the evening. \- A minimum of 4 participants is required\.

London Mastering the Art of Handmade Pasta

Join us for an afternoon dedicated to the craft of handmade pasta. Whether you have never picked up a rolling pin before or you are looking to refine your technique, this session is all about getting hands-on with flour and eggs to see how simple ingredients transform into something special. We will go through the process of mixing, kneading, and shaping dough from scratch, focusing on the tactile side of things rather than complicated recipes. This is a relaxed, social environment where the goal is to learn at a steady pace and enjoy the process alongside others who share an interest in cooking. You do not need any professional experience to join us; just bring a bit of curiosity and a willingness to get a little flour on your clothes. We will be working in a communal space, so come prepared for some good conversation while we work. Spaces for this session are limited so that everyone has enough room to work comfortably. If you would like to join us, please RSVP as soon as you can so we can make sure we have enough fresh ingredients ready for the group.

Sound Healing Class at Re:Mind London

We will be heading to the amazing Re:Mind Studio in London: A Sound Therapy, breathwork and energy headling studio that brings clam to the heart of London. We will gather before and after at the venue, there is a nice lounge there where you can get nice complimentary tea, for before and after discussions. **Sounds Healing Class - Crystal Bowls Session** Delve into the grounding experience of our Crystal Bowls session with Re:Mind. We use Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls that are made from 99.99% pure crystal quartz and blended with precious metals, crystals and gemstones. These unique bowls offer more than just sound—they offer healing intentions at a frequency level for a blissful experience. Our Crystal Bowls session stands out as perhaps the most spiritual of our sound classes. The bowls are specifically from Crystal Tones, and they're made of 99.99% pure crystal quartz blended with precious metals, crystals, earths, and gemstones. This unique Alchemy feature adds a healing intention to the frequencies, along with information from the crystals that communicates with your systems, adding another layer of subtle healing. It's more than just sound; it's sound combined with intention, which equals healing. This class is specifically tailored for those who crave 'me time', as well as those who are sensitive or emotional. It offers an opportunity for attendees to connect more deeply with who they are and to digest some of the emotional and mental load that they carry within them. What to Expect: Our class flow is designed to provide you with a 360 experience. We start off with a meditation to prepare your mind and body, followed by the harmonising sounds of the Crystal Tones alchemy bowls. After the sound session, there's a period of silence for reintegration. Finally, you'll be guided back to your regular state by the sound of beautiful chimes. You'll Leave Feeling: You will leave the session feeling like a great weight has been lifted, with a sense of peace and clarity. It's common to feel a bit spaced out initially—this is a normal part of the process. Aftercare: Remember to hydrate well after the session, as this aids in processing the energy shifts you may have experienced. About Brain Waves: One of the lesser-known but scientifically-backed benefits of our Crystal Bowls class lies in its impact on brain wave activity. Typically, your brain operates at higher-frequency Beta waves during wakeful consciousness, which is often associated with stress and anxiety. The sounds and frequencies produced during the session promote a shift from these Beta waves to Alpha and Theta waves. Alpha waves are linked with relaxed awareness and creativity, while Theta waves are associated with deep meditation, mental clarity, and reduced anxiety. This shift in brain wave activity augments the healing process, facilitating a deeper state of relaxation and well-being. **Schedule** 11:10 - 11:20am - Arrive Venue Early Grab Tea and Ready for Session 11:20am - 11:30am - Get Ready for Class 11:30am - 12:30pm - Crystal Bowl Class 12:30pm - 12:50pm - After Discussions and Tea **Total Cost** Toal Cost is £30 for one class at studio (But there are speciall offers on more classes if you want) For this one if you can book with Venue and select the 11:30am class for Saturday 26th September https://www.remindstudio.co.uk/book-class **Other Info** Running late? Due to the nature of the classes we have a strict no-latecomers policy. All classes start promptly on time to avoid disruption to other people in the class. (Note this is not a class organised by me so you will need to discuss with the company - I think they can reschedule but can't refund - they will need notice)

You will learn which tools to use, and how to measure and cut with accuracy so that you can attempt any joint design in the future. Expect a calm workshop with lots of concentration.
