Zombies is a large-scale infectious outdoor tag game! 🏃 Evade zombies, pick up health packs, become the final survivor! If you're caught, you turn into a zombie and join the hunt! 🧟 📺 [Previous Hunt!](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddj9OhwNipR/?stkn=ZjNwbWwweHA4ajVx) If you like hilarious situations, outdoor fitness, social times, group activities, games, adventures, sports or new ways to exercise, you will love Zombies! Bonding over nearly dying is also a fantastic way to make friends for life! ❤️ 📍 **LOCATION/HOW TO FIND** 📍 Exit Barbican Underground station, turn left and walk up Aldersgate St for 1 min, then turn right onto Fann St. We'll meet on the corner opposite "The Shakespeare". 🚉 **Closest Stations** 🚉 \- Barbican \(Circle\) \- 4 minute walk \- Farringdon \(Elizabeth Line\) \- 7 minute walk 📍 [Meeting Location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ko8Zj6tpa9MrMr7j8) 💭 **WHAT TO BRING** 💭 \- 📱 **Download the [PlayCulture App Here](www.playculture.com/app)** \- ⚡ Have a fully charged phone \(app will need to stay on for the duration of the game\) \- 👟 Comfy shoes \(You will need to run as part of the game\) \- 🥤 Bottle of water ️🛍️ WHAT NOT TO BRING 🎒 Please try not to bring a bag/backpack as we don't have anywhere to store bags 🚀 **EVENT SCHEDULE** 🚀 \- Meet at 6:30PM \(at Barbican Station\) \- Walk to the meeting point \(Location shared above\) \- Brief on how the game works and the rules \- Game Starts: **7:00PM** \- Start with a shorter game session for everyone to help gain familiarity \- Move on to longer game sessions \- End by 9:00/9:30PM ⚡ **HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?** ⚡ This game uses the free PlayCulture App ([playculture.com/app](http://playculture.com/app)). Players divide into Survivors and Zombies. Survivors try to evade the Zombies (using the danger radar to see where they are), and can pick up health packs to stay alive for longer. If a Zombie gets too close they can infect you! If you get infected you become a Zombie and join the hunt! At the end you will see a leaderboard showing everyone’s scores 📜 **RULES** 📜 Zombies takes place in public spaces, so please remember these rules: \- Non\-players always have priority \- Safety first: don’t do anything to endanger yourself or anyone else \- Don’t run around blind corners or across roads\, no risk\-taking\! \- Be kind when you catch\, we're all on the same team\! \- Players must be 18 or older\.

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

Sat, Oct 10, 9:00 AM
From Active Muslims 🟢🟡🔴
4.9

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join. Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session. 📚 SESSION FORMAT: ⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot! 🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance : ◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud ◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook ◾ Working together to translate and understand the text 💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection. ✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose. 📍 LOCATION: Kismet Café ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah. 🎒 What to bring: 📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read 🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*

It is home to one of the major landmarks in the Rother Valley - St Mary and Gabriel Church. This will be our lunch stop at a quaint old pub. We'll be walking off our lunch with a steep climb up onto Harting Down - a stunning 360-degree viewpoint where the higher ground of West Harting Down provides significant views out to the Solent and the Isle of Wight should we have fine weather. We then circle back to Petersfield over fields and along deer park enclosures, with no other hikers in sight. And of course, a well earned drink in a pub in Petersfield! *ps.

More information on the course itself and course fee in [Philosophies of East & West - Philosophies of East & West 18-week course](https://www.philosophiesofeastandwest.org/) **Overview** Introduction to the major concepts from Eastern & Western Philosophy, exploring their relevance and practical application. **Philosophy means the love of wisdom, and being a philosopher essentially means having an active attitude and awareness towards life.** We are all born philosophers, with a natural need to ask questions and with the intuition that there are answers to be found. Every civilisation has tried to pass on its wisdom, leaving us a vast heritage of useful knowledge and experiences to rediscover. **Explore the timeless ideas that have inspired and guided humanity throughout history and their relevance and practical application for our lives.** **This 18-week course will introduce you to the major concepts of Eastern and Western Philosophy with a focus on their application in daily life.** Philosophy means *love of wisdom* (philo-sophia) and is an active attitude of awareness towards life. In this sense, we are all born philosophers, with an innate need to ask questions and with the intuition that there are answers to be found. Every civilisation has passed on to us its experience and understanding of life. However, most of us have had little opportunity to learn about the vast heritage of ideas that have inspired and guided humanity throughout history. **Introductory Evening:** The first evening is free and introduces the course and gives the opportunity to see if this is what you are looking for. There will be two classes and a 30min break in the middle with refreshments. **Applications & Enrolment:** ​The course fee is £290 which can be paid upon enrolment online or on the evening. The application form is found here [Application - Philosophies of East & West](https://www.philosophiesofeastandwest.org/application.html). For the best experience, we cap group size to a maximum 12 participants. **Course Content** Topics are arranged under three headings: *Ethics, Sociopolitics and Philosophy of History.* **Ethics - Understanding yourself** Ethics enquires about moral principles and the impact of individuals on their environment. It is also related to happiness, as it helps us to find the right inner attitude to deal with different life situations in ways that are beneficial to ourselves and others. The topics are: Introduction to Ethics and the philosophies of India, Tibet, Buddhism and China (Confucius). **Sociopolitics - Living together in harmony with others** Sociopolitics looks at relationships in society, both between individuals and between the individual and the group. It is concerned with finding principles by which we can create harmonious communities where everyone can flourish. The topics are: Introduction to Sociopolitics, the philosophies of Plato & Aristotle, Justice in Ancient Egypt, Neoplatonism, Importance of Education, the Stoic Philosophers. **Philosophy of History - Being part of something greater** We are all products of history and at the same time we all contribute to making history. Philosophy of History seeks wisdom in the study of the past and how to apply lessons of history to the present. The topics are: Introduction to Philosophy of History, History and Mythology, Cycles of History, Freedom and Destiny, Hermetic Sciences. This first evening can be attended for free as a taster session to **Philosophies of East & West,** however if you are interested in learning more about the full 18-week course and applying, please visit [philosophiesofeastandwest.org](https://www.philosophiesofeastandwest.org/) For further enquires or if you have any questions, please contact us on events@newacropolisuk.org
