Monday 1st December
We are looking forward to welcoming you to The Dragon Café on Monday 1st December.
The Dragon Café will be in person at The Walworth Living Room.
12:30pm – 2pm: Poetry with Emma McGordon
We are extremely happy to welcome back Emma to the Dragon Café for another of her poetry sessions. Emma’s sessions are a fun, engaging and accessible way of exploring writing your own poetry. Emma’s use of free writing and poetic form makes this an ideal workshop for everyone, from beginners with no experience of writing poetry to seasoned writers. Emma is a multi-award-winning writer and performer. Much of her writing and spoken word is semi-autobiographical. Emma takes pride in being close to vulnerability and truth in her work.
2:15pm: Food served:
This week we will be continuing with the MFC menu. Expect lots of fresh and healthy options, including an assortment of salads, fruit, fresh breads, olives, finger foods, and much more.
2:45pm – 4:15pm: HeartTouch @ The Dragon Café
HeartTouch @ Dragon Café is a gentle, calming and revitalising workshop that blends mindful movement, breathing practices, and compassionate touch. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to relax and connect.
Through simple Tai Chi–inspired exercises, energy awareness practices, and supportive partner work, we explore how to soften stress, ground the body, and restore ease in both body and mind.
This is a safe and welcoming space where everyone is invited to move at their own pace and feel supported. Facilitated by Anthony Fiddler who has been sharing mindfulness and embodied practices in community settings for over 20 years. Come along and feel the difference!
4:30pm – 5:45pm: Singing Group
In this session, participants are invited to come together in celebration of the positive impact of singing and the voice. This session, facilitated by our singing lead Vivien Ellis, will be an energy filled journey through a mix of singing and vocal styles. From sea shanties to old English chants, choral favourites written by the singing group and some improvised rounds and soundscapes. There is something in this session for everyone.
