SUMMARY:Storytelling Workshops with Saskia Solomons.
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin us for a 5 week session of Storytelling workshops with Saskia Solomons at Meanwood Institute\, Green Road\, Meanwood. \nTuesday Afternoons 2 -4 p.m. \nEveryone has a tale to tell\, but how do we turn a memory into story?  This workshop will provide a warm and welcoming space to explore our personal histories and develop the skills needed to craft our memories into captivating stories. We will work with our imaginations\, our senses and our playfulness. Participants will be invited to work with memories of their choice\, and will be supported in the intuitive process of deciding which to tell; if you choose to make it so\, the crafting of a memory and the telling of it can be a very healing process. Together we will create a safe space to honour our stories and celebrate our experiences\, and encourage each participant to work in a way that nourishes them.  \nEach session will offer a different aspect of the craft of the storyteller: from building characters in your body and voice\, to creating images in space\, exploring the relationship to the listener(s)\, and developing moods\, landscapes and language. Entrance is £2.00 including refreshments.

SUMMARY:Walk to Gallow Hill
DESCRIPTION:Walk from Otley Bus Station with Rob. \nJoin Rob for a 5 mile circular walk from the centre of Otley calling on Gallows Hill. Gallows Hill Nature Reserve occupies a strip of land on the south side of the River Wharfe east of Otley. It is signed to the left off Pool Road\, just after the cemetery on the way out of Otley. It consists of areas of trees\, scrub and nettle beds with a pond\, providing a variety of habitats important to birds\, amphibians\, butterflies and dragonflies. History of the site\, it gets its name from its use as a site of execution as far back as Anglo-Saxon times. During the reign of Henry I (1100-1135) the Archbishop of York had the power to execute thieves caught in the Manor of Otley. The last execution took place in 1614. Much of the area is situated on the old Sewage works sludge beds. Otley Town Council purchased the land from Yorkshire Water Authority in 1987/8. There was considerable investment to remove toxic materials followed by a programme of development including construction of a pond\, and tree and hedging planting.  On the route back we will cross the Pool Road and walk up a gently sloping farm drive to cross a couple of sheep fields to the route of the old Arthington to Otley Railway line.  This will take us to the Cambridge Housing estate and Otley Bus station. We are spoilt for choice for cafes and pubs in Otley and will decide en route.  Buses back to Leeds are half hourly. \nRob intends to catch an  X84 bus timetabled to leave  Leeds at 10.30 am.  and will be  joining the bus in Headingley around 10.49 and arriving in Otley at 11.14  in good time for a cup of coffee. Please note that due to chaotic works going on in central Leeds the X84/X85 does not start from the bus station. According to the information from Metro the X84 and X85 buses now start their route on Albion Street (opposite St John Centre). The online timetable says that they leave from Stand J3 but last time he was  at that bus stop there was a paper notice stating that from 28th September they will start from Stand L1 (a bit further up the road\, just beyond the junction with Great George Street). You may have to check both stops. They’re only 100 yards apart.There is one later X84 bus that should get you there just in time\, leaving Leeds (Albion Street) at 11.05 and arriving in Otley at 11.52.  There is usually ample car parking to be found near the bus station. There are public toilets behind the bus station (30p) or in the Wetherspoons pub\, the Bowling Green\, which should  be open. Please bring suitable walking gear\, water and a packed lunch. “Autumn” would seem to be a suitable theme for optional poems/songs/readings. \n\nPlease bring a packed lunch and a drink.  For any further information please contact Rob on 0113 216 4492. \n \nGallows Hill Nature Reserve\, Otley.

SUMMARY:Theatre Visit: ‘There are No Beginnings’
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1975 and Sharon just wants to marry Donny Osmond. Her mum\, June\, is working to keep girls like Helen off the street and Fiona is desperate to get inside the Milgarth police station incident room. Between the years of 1975 and 1980 the women of Leeds lived in fear. With no clue as to who was responsible for the sustained attacks and murders across the city\, the authorities urged women to stay at home. From the fear and fury\, a steadfast solidarity arose\, birthing the Reclaim the Night movement and echoing down the generations to this day. \nThis production has now reached its maximum capacity.

SUMMARY:'Into the Light' DVD from this year's Glastonbury Symposium with Dr. William Bloom
DESCRIPTION:We always like to bring you the latest cutting-edge talks from Glastonbury Symposium\, with covers Truth\, Mysteries\, and New Frontiers. The main aim of the Symposium is to bring in speakers from around the world and to give people information that isn’t so easy to get from else-where.  They have conversations and presentations about the things we are not supposed to talk about and looking again about the things in the world going on around us in a light that is not allowed to be shown in the mainstream. Dr William Bloom is one of the UK’s leading’s authors and educators in the field of holistic spirituality and health. He describes his approach as valuing the jewels in all traditions. He founded the Spiritual Companions project\, is a Fellow of the Findhorn Foundation and co-founded Alternatives of St. James’s Church\, Piccadilly.  His many books include The Endorphin Effect\, The Power of Modern Spirituality\, Psychic Protection and Working with Angels. Recently he pioneered the first main-stream UK qualification on spirituality and health to be on the OFQUAL Register.\nPresentation: Into the Light – Exploring Afterlife Dimensions\nThis presentation explores the great mystery of what happens when we die. The talk will be both personal and philosophical. For the first time in public William will share about his extended out of the body and near death experiences\, which occurred when he was almost mortally ill during a two-year isolated retreat. Since that time\, he has explored after death realities in his daily meditation practice\, read the classic and contemporary texts\, and helped many others prepare for their own passing and how to support others. His talk will include an exploration of texts such as the Tibetan Book of the Dead; practices that enable the transfer of consciousness; invisible helpers\, purgatory\, heaven and hell; and theories about the source and purpose of the soul’s journey. Just as we need to understand how to live\, so we also need to know how to die. \nThe subjects discussed under the ‘Mind\, Body\, Spirit Programme’ are for entertainment and educational purposes\, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Leeds Combined Arts.

SUMMARY:Theatre Visit: ‘The Body Snatcher’
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Thunder Road & Harrogate Theatre\, Something is rotten in the town of Inglenook. Sour milk\, unread post\, dogs howling day and night\, the locals are vanishing…seemingly into thin air. As fear haunts the remaining few\, a young scientist is disturbed by a noise underground. It’s the sound of terror\, and it’s getting louder. The Body Snatcher is an unnerving experience inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s hair-raising horror: live action\, music and storytelling combine in a tale of mystery\, morality\, and science unhinged. Nobody is safe.
