The next session will be on 10th Jan 2026 at my place in SE16.

RSVP HERE.

why / why now?

i love getting heated and passionate when talking about politics with my friends

we’re in a major period of misinformation and we all live in bubbles, socially isolated from anyone who isn’t like us

staying disconnected is making us weak. we need to connect with each other cross-culturally in order to fight fascism (and just like, to be okay)

will there be loads of reading involved?

no

reading is hard

being politically conscious is hard

getting things right is hard

the point is not to get it right, or to read loads

the point is to find points of connection, learn organically from each other, and fantasise about utopia together

who is welcome? is this an exclusive space?

anyone is welcome (yes, anyone!)

however, the space is small, so i need confirmation in advance if you want to come

also it’s my house, so, be nice

everyone must rsvp in advance, and please let me know if you’re running late

how will each session look?

- arrival, grab a drink, informal chats (2.45pm)

- checking in, intro circle, grounding (3pm)

- reading together and using the text as a jumping-off point for deeper discussion

- tangible ‘real-life’ activity - possibly a craft, a game, or just a walk by the river (if we have time)

- checking-out and goodbyes (6pm)

how will we safeguard our emotions?

the sessions are very small in capacity

we will follow a shared agreement for how to interact in the sessions

we will try to know ourselves, and be mindful of when it’s getting too heated or too close to home

there will be a separate space (my bedroom) available if you need to step out

we will take movement breaks as needed, to reconnect with our bodies

accessibility

the sessions are held in my living room (ask for the address via the rsvp form if you don’t already have it)

the nearest bus stop is ~5 mins walk

the flat is on the 3rd floor, 44 steps up in total - there’s no lift

the living room and kitchen are in the same room, with chairs, a big table, and 2 sofas - we might sit at the table, or on the sofas/floor, depending how everyone feels

the toilet is on the same level, and so is my bedroom which will be used as a quiet space

message me if i’ve missed anything here

*i’m trying to find a new venue that’s accessible for those with mobility issues, please reach out with recommendations
