Balancers Community Volunteering - Clothing Distribution

Hi Balancers, We believe community is about more than meeting new people. It's also about showing up for those who need support. As part of our ongoing partnership with Refugee Community Kitchen, we're inviting you to join us for a different kind of volunteering session. This time, we’re joining **Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK)** at their Goodge Street service to provide essential clothing to people who need it. 👕 **HOW IT WORKS** We’ll meet at **6:00 PM in front of the Dominion Theatre**. From there, we’ll cross the road to Primark and split into small groups. Each group will be given a few essential clothing items to find and buy. Once we’re done, we’ll walk about **5 minutes to Goodge Street**, join the RCK service and distribute the clothing while their team serves food. ♻️ **HAVE CLOTHES YOU DON’T USE ANYMORE?** You’re also welcome to bring a **small amount of clean, good-condition clothing** that you no longer use and would be happy to donate. Please only bring a few items, as we have **very limited storage space** and may not be able to take large bags of clothes. **🍻 AFTER VOLUNTEERING** For anyone who wants to stick around, we’ll head to a nearby pub for a drink after the session. A chance to relax, chat and get to know each other a little better. 💷 **CHIPPING IN** We’ll collect contributions from the group and use the full amount to buy the clothing that evening. If you can, **bring some cash** — but there’s absolutely no pressure to contribute much. Even **£1 helps**, and you’re just as welcome to volunteer regardless of how much you contribute. 💬 **Join our Volunteer WhatsApp group for updates and coordination:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hzm7P7Tr0QD92MnwmpHTVK?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hzm7P7Tr0QD92MnwmpHTVK?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1) 🤝 **NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED** We’ll explain everything on the day. Just bring yourself and be ready to help. **Good to know:** 📍 Meet: In front of the Dominion Theatre ⏰ 6:00 PM 👕 Primark is directly across the road 🚶 Goodge Street is around 5 minutes away As always, Respect, Kindness and Authenticity come first. We’re there to support people with dignity and without judgment. Let’s keep showing what our community can do when we act with heart. See you there 💛

Systemic & Family Constellations Workshop

**Systemic & Family Constellations Workshop** Making Making Peace with The Past - Creating a Better Future After our first sold-out workshop, we have released a new workshop. **About** Join us for a transformative evening workshop, "Making Peace with The Past - Creating a Better Future," where we will explore the profound impact of our early life experiences and family history on our present lives with Illi Adato. Understanding these influences is the first step towards creating a more fulfilling future. Through the Constellation process, we will address and heal painful imprints from the past in a small and intimate group. This powerful method allows participants to gain insights and release emotional burdens, paving the way for personal transformation and a brighter future. Join us for a weekend of personal healing and empowerment. Led by international facilitator and trainer of the work: Illi Adato, head of London School of Systemic & Family Constellations, this coming Constellations workshop will delve into how our past, family dynamics and early life events, shapes our current reality. **TICKETS:** **[https://dandelion.events/e/p3lp4](https://dandelion.events/e/p3lp4)** **What are Systemic Constellations?** The Systemic Constellations method is a unique therapeutic process of exploration of the forces that move us in life. Such forces are often appearing as difficulties or a sense of being ‘stuck’ in life, affecting our behaviour, relationships, career, health/wellbeing, or even financial circumstances. This method provides a three-dimensional ‘map’ of one’s life as it is at present. It is a simple yet powerful way to explore entanglements and blockages in our personal life and our family history. The method brings awareness and clarity into personal challenges by focusing the client on the root cause of such difficulties. Constellations provide an opening for a positive life shift and present ways for deep healing processes to occur. **What Happens in the Constellation Process?** The method uses workshop participants as ‘Representatives’ to stand in for key people in the client’s life such as family members, colleagues, partners, ex-partners, etc., sometimes ‘abstract’ concepts such as an emotion, country of origin, religion, or destiny are also represented. All participants are invited to take part as Representatives. Workshop participants often report (see reviews: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs)) experiencing profound insights into their own lives by simply witnessing the process, regardless of how they choose to take part. **Why does this Work?** Scientific research shows that the experiences of your ancestors can determine your behaviour today and affect future generations.\*\* Recent scientific research into DNA reveals that a component named epigenetics is embedding the effect of a traumatic experience by altering the genetic structure. It means that some of our behaviour patterns can be attributed to traumatic events in our family history. This notion has always been one of the guiding principles of Systemic / Constellations Therapy, a form of work that is dedicated to exposing and dealing with issues emerging from our family system. **Your Facilitator** Illi is an innovator in the Constellations field, having researched and developed several new techniques for applying Systemic Constellations, including HypnoConstellations™, Distant-Healing Constellations™ and Consciousness-Centred Therapy™. These methods offer simple ways to harness resources which are often unseen to support the individual awakening process through the healing of personal, systemic and collective traumas. He is a personal and group facilitator of Systemic Constellations, he created a unique Retreat Centre in Sicily to and as the Founder and Head of the London School of Systemic & Family Constellations he is a keynote speaker and a trainer of the method to students from all over the world. For more information: [LondonConstellations.co.uk](LondonConstellations.co.uk) / email: illi@LondonConstellations.uk **Feedback** It was my first time to observe family constellations. The experience was deeply healing, and transformative even just to watch the constellations. Illi held a safe, non-judgemental, deeply intuitive space, which allowed deep healing happen naturally. - Jia Yu The whole experience was very profound. Despite being incredible nervous, I was put at ease by lovely people around and accommodating and supportive host Illi. As a participant and issue holder I've gained clarity, understandings of "things" and how they relate and surprisingly experienced massive revelation in regards to my issue. It was also very educational as Illi managed to explain things. I also had fun and managed to laugh even when felt strong emotions. I believe my healing started already as participant... and continued deeper as issue holder. I am very grateful for the work Illi is doing and I am pretty sure I will be in touch again. - Alena A Truly Transformative Experience I recently had a constellation therapy session and was genuinely surprised by how deeply it resonated with me. The experience helped me gain clarity on emotional patterns I didn’t even realize were affecting me. It was both grounding and eye-opening. The facilitator - Illy held space with such compassion and skill, making me feel completely safe and supported throughout the process. I left the session feeling lighter, more connected, and with a sense of peace that’s hard to describe. If you’re looking for something that goes beyond traditional talking therapy and taps into deeper layers of understanding, I highly recommend giving constellation therapy a try. I’m so grateful for the insight and emotional release it brought me. - Merita **Venue** 7 Newcourt St, London, NW8 7AA, England The Kailash Centre is a non-profit organisation, donating all proceeds to the Tibet Charitable Trust. **Your Organiser** Callum Browne Callum is the Marketing & Community Manager for The Psychedelic Society and a life-long learner in the exploration of consciousness and the mystical arts.

LET'S GO SEE THE BABY SEALS! Norfolk is THE Best place where you can see Baby Seals in the UK. November to February is the peak of the season when the beaches between Horsey and Winterton are home to some 5000 seals. Norfolk holds the world's two largest Atlantic grey seals colonies and I am taking you there. You will be able to observe at often just a couple of meters away the seals who come to these sandy beaches every year to give birth to those gorgeous white furry creatures. We will be able to observe seals of different ages. From the tiny few hours old white pups, to the full fat adolescents and up to the big males who weigh hundreds of kilos and who will be fighting a bit further down on the sand. Volunteers will be there to answer all our questions and to keep us from getting too close to those beautiful creatures, often unsuccessfully as those cubs being of a curious nature will approach us often far too close to inspect us. The seals will be the highlight of our trip but this will certainly not be all to see. We will hike the dunes of the Broads nature reserve and visit the stunning surrounding villages. We will hike around 7 miles, 4 miles will be right next to these absolutely gorgeous creatures, that will be your choice, they will be all over the place. Be prepared to take an alternative route for a few minutes if the mothers and pubs make their way to the path. They usually stay on the beach but the recent storm have driven them in the dunes and on the path meaning that, if you get too close, you better get ready to run cause mummies protect their pups. Babies will be wandering alone around us, they will come towards you but please, please, I cannot stress enough, do not touch them and step back as the mother will abandon them if you do. **Important INFORMATION:** **HIKE DISTANCE:** 6-7 miles Approx. **DIFFICULTY**: Easy and mostly Flat. **Costs:** £61 Pay on the day. £1 deposit payment for seat reservation must be paid in Advance to guarantee your seat reservation.
