Have you ever marveled at how a simple image on paper or canvas can stir your deepest emotions—making you smile, bringing tears to your eyes, or transporting you to another world? How a single image can awaken long-forgotten memories? And why humans have been creating art for tens of thousands of years, from the cave paintings of Chauvet and Altamira to the masterpieces of today? In this talk, we’ll explore the fascinating world of the neuroscience of art—unpacking what happens in our brains when we engage with paintings, photographs, and sculptures. Together, we’ll delve into how visual processing works—examining colour, motion, and eye movements—as well as the powerful interplay between emotions, perception, and mental imagery. We’ll also dive into optical illusions, light adaptation, and even engage in a bit of doodling. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of how art moves us, shapes us, and connects us—not just to the world around us, but to the deepest parts of ourselves. Doors open at 7pm , talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Follow us on IG @seedtalks Dr Fatima M Felisberti is a visiting associate professor at the University of Bristol and she has lead the Art, Cognition, and Emotion laboratory for almost two decades. She is a cognitive neuroscientist investigating visual perception, emotions, and mental imagery. She holds PhDs in both Biological Cybernetics and Neuroscience. Her recent research delves into how senses, our emotional states and our capacity for imaginative engagement influence our perceptions of art and nature. She is intrigued by the ways in which artists leverage their understanding of human senses and behaviours to enhance viewer engagement with their work. Dr Felisberti has collaborated extensively with art institutions such as Stanley Picker Gallery, Southbank Centre-Hayward Gallery, The Cultural Capital Exchange in the UK and various international research organisations.

We've delighted to have Hazel McBride, author of the highly-anticipated romantasy, A Fate Forged in Fire , joining us for an event on the 28th of May at 7pm! How much is she willing to sacrifice to claim her throne? A powerfully blessed blacksmith must use her wits and fire magic to overthrow the corrupt powers ruling the kingdom, while also fighting her desire for a certain dragon-riding adversary in this sizzling Celtic-inspired romantasy, perfect for fans of House of the Dragon and Fourth Wing. Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tìr Teine has been without a female heir for centuries. Through a long line of corrupt kings, an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land - leading to the tragic decline of the dragons. Aemyra was born to lead, gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid. For years she has hidden in the shadows, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people. When her carefully laid plans are foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a deadly game of politics and plots. Her greatest enemy? Prince Fiorean - the dragon-riding, fire-wielding royal whose icy arrogance and raw power thwart her every step. But as chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Prince Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance to survive. And in the heat of battle, their mutual hatred ignites something neither of them can control. Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for the only man that stands between her and the throne, Aemyra begins to uncover the true weight of the crown. Will she ignite the flames of change for her people - or will love burn her alive? Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite

How Speed Dating Works in Leeds When you arrive at the Leeds venue you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date. You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't. At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day. Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others. Please remember to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches. Post Event No later than 11am the following morning our matching system will be unlocked for you to enter your ticks from the previous evening.

Sound Therapy Training with Sonic Temple Friday 30th May - Sunday 1st June 10am - 5pm each day (please leave an extra hour each day as sometimes we go over!) 3 days - 3 levels The focus of this comprehensive sound therapy training will be on efficient and powerful (rather than fancy) applications and methods of sound delivery with various tools and instruments. The training is based on strong theoretical foundation to give the participant a fuller picture of the science and properties of sound, protocols and methodologies in 1 to 1 private sessions as well as different approaches for Group Sound Meditations & Sound Baths. Within the practical part of the training, we explore tuning forks , Crystal/Glass Bowls and Metal (Himalayan) bowls , as well as Gongs and many other sound tools and instruments in different settings and scenarios. There are no prerequisites required to join this training except goodwill, motivation and a notebook. There are 3 levels*: Each is held one day from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m (ISH - please leave an extra hour each day). This course is perhaps the most complete available on the market as it includes all the crucial aspects (not only one, for example Himalayan singing bowls training) but rather an "integral" 360 degrees’ approach. Topics covered are conveyed in a comprehensive (practically supported way) in a total of 48 chapters . Covering all the major sound healing tools families: Tuning Forks, Himalayan singing bowls, Crystal singing bowls, Gongs and other sound therapy tools... participants will have a chance to experience many tools and protocols. At the end of the training you’ll receive a color-printed workbook for each level and an internationally accredited certificate of completion. There will be a lot of practical exercises: each participant will have the option to be a "giver" and "receiver" thus resulting in a better understanding of the subject and confidence to start facilitating sessions immediately. The training is accredited by an internationally renowned and well-respected organization of holistic medicine which gives the participants the right not only to perform group and private sessions but also obtain professional insurance that is often required to operate this type of activity legally. *Level 4 is available for those who would like additional insights into this powerful modality. Space are limited. Please send us a private email to enquire.

Trained in classical music (Trombone & Percussion) in 1997 he formed a band and performed more than 500 live shows - recording 2 studio albums. Bachelor in acoustics since 2006 (Seaport noise reduction case study) he parallelly graduated at the Australian School for Audio Engineering (SAE Institute) the same year. It was around that time, he experienced Sound Therapy for the first time and immediately sensed a deep connection to it. While working for almost 9 years as producer/musician/sound engineer in a professional studio facility he built in 2007, he deepened his relationship with silence as part of music reproduction as well as the importance of bringing silence into everyday life. In 2009 he won the 3rd prize in a tech start-up contest pitching the “audio de-compression algorithm” project. In the next years he was developing a new design of sustainable Omnidirectional sound sculptures “Evoluta” made of steel pipes and 3D printed vinyl. After completing more than 15 international trainings and personal tuitions by leading experts in the field: In Germany, UK, Japan, USA, Italy, Russia, France, Poland, and Nepal he developed a proper frequency assessment test in order to deliver optimal results while empowering individuals through sound. Keeping a file with more than 950 individual sound therapy sessions, while hosting more than 360 group meditations around the globe, he personally experienced a variety of marginal treatments: from shamans in Mongolia to neuro-scientists in California and a lot in between. Relentlessly evolving and focusing on delivering the best experience Marko has gathered so far an impressive collection of sonic tools (which include more than 140 singing bowls, 160+ tuning forks and 15 different gongs) among many other rare instruments he is sharing the passion during his regularly 60+ international trainings held in: UAE, Germany, Italy, Nepal, Bahrain, England, USA, Hong Kong and Japan. For the last 4 years he has been constantly running Sound Therapy Trainings Level 1,2 & 3. Some references and key competences related to his practice and sound trainings: Gongs: Certified GM training with the Grand gong master Don Conreaux (USA). Integral Gong training - cosmic gong techniques with gong scientist Jens Zygar (Germany). Gong making (hand-hammering) masterclass with sound metalsmith Ton Akkermans (Netherlands). Singing bowls: Peter Hess sound massage training level 1-4 (personally with Peter Hess at PHI headquarter in Germany). Sound training in Nepal at the Himalayan Singing Bowl Center with “Kansa” dynasty successors (Kathmandu). Private lessons with singing bowl expert Frank Perry at his home in the UK. Tuning forks: Private lectures with frequency mathematician Randy Masters (Santa Cruz - California), Human Tuning TF training with Dr. John Beaulieu (New York). Planetary frequency consultations with the father of planetary wavelengths - Hans Cousto (Germany). Apart from everything related to sound his hobbies include: photography, art, reading, traveling and studying “Presence”… In 2020 he directed “Tapu Himene” - Silence is the end game, which was awarded 1st prize for best Inspirational short movie at Florence 2020 international film awards.
