Kriya Yoga UK is pleased to announce the visit of Yogacharya Ruud Wierdsma to Bristol to teach Kriya Yoga from 13 - 15 June 2025. If you are interested in learning, there will be an introductory lecture on Friday evening and an opportunity to receive initiation and to learn and practise the techniques of Kriya Yoga on Saturday and Sunday. Kriya Yoga is the ancient and mystical path to self-realisation. ‘Kri’ is the work or activity carried out by ‘ya’ the indwelling soul. Yoga is the union of individual self and Supreme Self. Kriya Yoga is a non-sectarian, scientific and practical meditation technique practised by sages and saints since time immemorial. Kriya Yoga leads to the transformation of the physical consciousness into Divine consciousness and is the essence of all yoga’s taught in the world. In order to practise Kriya Yoga, one needs to receive initiation which can only be given with the grace and love of the Master through an authorised teacher, during which the body is purified and energised. The initiate may perceive Divine Light, Divine Vibration and Divine Sound in the whole body. There is no book or lesson to learn the Kriya Yoga techniques. Kriya Yoga emanates from beyond the five sense organs. Registering for the introductory lecture will ensure that you will have a place for initiation on Saturday. You will receive details of initiation once you have registered. Please note that the cost of the initiation is £155 plus a £50 seminar fee payable on Saturday. We would also be grateful if you can complete all the relevant information on the order form as this will be used to ensure that your initiation is properly recorded. Directions: From Bristol either take the A37 or A38 until the junction with the A368. Take the A368 which will take you to Ubley. Turn into The Street and you will find the Ubley Parish Hall. From Bath: take the A39 to Marksbury and then take the A368 and continue until you reach Ubley. Turn into The Street and you will find the Ubley Parish Hall. Ubley Parish Hall is approximately 30mins from Bristol and Bath (approx 13 miles from each city). Ubley is also 15 mins from Bristol airport. Yogacharya Ruud Wierdsma has been initiated into Kriya Yoga by Rajarshi Peter Baba in 1986. He met Gurudev Baba Hariharanandaji in Karar Ashram (Puri) in 1990. He has been assisting with the maintenance and care of the buildings and grounds as well as with the daily administration of ashram activities in Holland since its opening in 1993. In 1997/1998 he went to Homestead to stay with Gurudev. In 2002 he attended the First Residential Brahmachari Training Course in Balighai, India. In 2023 he was authorized to initiate seekers into Kriya Yoga by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda. Ruud lives with his wife in Sterksel, close to the ashram.

Following the amazing time we've had at both the Men's gathering in June and the Women's in September, we are pleased to announce that the next SELAH gathering is set for June 2025! The Lord has continued to speak to us about drawing near, of having intimate communion with him and taking that ‘Selah’ moment. So we are very excited to announce our next SELAH event will be happening on 14th June 2025. God has beautifully bought together everything. We have our guest speaker coming all the way from 'Christ for all nations church' in Florida, Eric Gilmour. We are very much looking forward to his teaching and encouragement. Along with our very own Pastor Craig Bennett who shared at the last Selah men's gathering, plus worship from Jamie Hill, Lucy Burden, Jules jones, Andy Oates and Harvey Phillpot. This year's event is going to bring the men and the women together as one. As such we have found a bigger venue that is easy for people to access, The Lantern Hall in the The Beacon, Bristol. With Parking just across the road, so very easy access. We all have extremely busy lives that carry many responsibilities, which can ultimately impact on quality time with the Lord and with each other. Selah 2025 aims to bring together sons and daughters of God, to be ministered to and to minister to one another. Therefore, we want to provide a space that this is not primarily an evangelistic event, but a space where we can simply pause and be refreshed. We are continually encouraged to build one another up and serve one another in the New Testament. Throughout the day, we will have the chance to worship God together in fellowship and hear from his word. We believe that God is ready to do a new thing in our lives and reignite a fire within the church. However, we must be willing to make space to be a part of it.

What if you could see music? Award-winning composer, pianist, and a developer of the app Shazam, Charlie Hooper-Williams invites you to find out. Join Charlie for a unique, water-inspired performance experience where sound and visuals come together in real time. Playing alongside Otto – a custom-built live projections system he coded – his music takes on another dimension, with visuals that respond directly to every note and gesture. The result is “film scoring inverted”, imagery supporting music rather than the other way around. This is a performance that’s both stunning and deeply human: intricate, virtuosic piano playing paired with imagery that amplifies its emotional core. Raised in the forests of Minnesota and shaped by studies at Cambridge, Charlie’s music bridges the gap between classical tradition and modern innovation. His work draws on influences as varied as Nils Frahm and Max Cooper, combining intricate textures with moving, accessible melodies. Whether in a concert hall or a nightclub, his shows immerse audiences in a world where technology isn’t cold or distant but alive and collaborative. Join Charlie for a performance that redefines what a piano concert can be. “Lovely… really special, immersive show” - Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3 “Unmissable… a must-see show” - Smugglers Spirits This screening is happening in the IMAX at Bristol Aquarium. There is step free access. Doors open at 16:00 with the performance starting at 16:15. Festival of Nature This event is part of the Festival of Nature, running from 7-15 June.

Detroit's Slum Village have carried the old-school, funk, and soul-filled hip-hop torch of genre pioneers A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and the Pharcyde. Originally comprising rappers Baatin and T3 and producer/rapper J Dilla, the group debuted in the early '90s as Ssenepod, later changing their name to Slum Village for the release of their debut, Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 1, in 1997. Over the course of almost a dozen efforts, Slum Village issued their highest-charting album, Trinity (Past, Present and Future), in 2002, peaking on the Hot 100 in 2004 with the single "Selfish," featuring Kanye West and John Legend. Their lineup has experienced significant changes due to the exit of J Dilla (2001), the death of Baatin (2009), and the departure of Elzhi (2010). Slum Village became a duo in the 2010s with T3 joined by producer Young RJ. Assorted compilations and projects such as Yes! (2015) and The Source (2019), along with performances well into the 2020s, have followed since then.

Welcome to the ADHD Business Community event! There are a disproportionate number of people in business who have or think they have ADHD. If you run your own business or work within the corporate world, there are huge strengths but also continual struggles from having ADHD. Where do you go when you want to talk about your ADHD? Currently, there aren't many options available to us. We are setting up the ADHD Network Community (Bristol), for people with ADHD to network, share tips and experiences, and discuss challenges. We will meet up for dinner and great conversation in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Some adults with ADHD have very successful careers. Others may struggle with a variety of challenges, including poor communication skills, distractibility, procrastination, and difficulty managing complex projects. We find that most people are somewhere in the middle. Risk-taking comes naturally to many people with ADHD. Whether driven by boredom or a need for change and new things, people with ADHD simply gravitate toward the new and exciting. Our ability to look at the bigger picture and come up with innovative and exciting ideas makes us great in business. We just sometimes need a bit of support. Information Source: eventbrite

Science in SEND is full of creative, real-life learning experiences for students with a range of learning needs. During this session, we will focus on how scientific enquiry is threaded across the curriculum. Differentiation methods will also feed into various scientific topics and themes. How can we ensure we are teaching explicit scientific vocabulary? How can we support students to retain knowledge over time? Exploring ways to address these challenges will also thread through the session. Information Source: Briarwood School | eventbrite
