SUMMARY:Can We Be Great Again? Why a dangerous world needs Britain.
DESCRIPTION:Former Foreign Secretary Sir Jeremy Hunt MP joins us on Friday 6 June to discuss his new book about Britain’s place in the world in the century ahead.\nThis event is free to attend but booking is essential via our website. \nBritain has been through a difficult period since the global financial crisis\, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline. But Jeremy Hunt\, who was at the top of government as both Foreign Secretary and Chancellor\, disagrees. In his new book: Can We Be Great Again?\, he sets out to rebut those who think Britain is no longer capable of shaping the world we live in. \nWith the election of President Trump\, a world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. But when it comes to the big challenges facing the world – whether on European security\, the future of democracy\, migration\, trade and climate – the UK remains one of the most influential countries and should\, Hunt says\, use that influence wisely. Hunt does not shy away from the UK’s weaknesses but argues that they should be considered in perspective and without underestimating this country’s many strengths.

We are watching it become overwhelmed by natural disasters\, an ongoing mental health crisis\, geopolitical strain and an overall sense of hopelessness. Not regulating the mind\, or thought pollution\, also affects the world around us\, encouraging greed\, envy\, violence and environmental degradation. \nBut spirituality can undo this damage and replace it with love\, compassion and peace. When an individual embarks on a journey of transformation\, a ripple effect creates a far-reaching wave of positive change\, making our world a better\, brighter\, and more harmonious place. \nThe Heartfulness way of Meditation encourages a lifestyle that is grounded in the qualities of the heart. Through its simple practices\, only requiring one hour a day\, Heartfulness allows us to be simple and in tune with the self\, with others and with nature.

SUMMARY:Journey to Nutopia: Mutate & Survive 2025 - Talks
DESCRIPTION:Journey to Nutopia: Mutate & Survive 2025 \nBack after a two-year hiatus\, join us for an evening of talks and conversation about democratising democracy\, the latest on integrating psychedelic experiences\, tales from the counterculture\, and the magic of chocolate… \n  \nPSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION//_PANEL:\nMICHELLE BAKER JONES/\nANYA OLEKSIUK\nGREG DONALDSON> \nJAMIE_KELSEY<ACTIVIST/_ONE_WORLD OR NONE_ \nANITA BRULEE – CHOCOLATE LOVE MEDICINE// \nRICHARD NORRIS – READS FROM STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING_ \nHosted by Michelle Olley \n*** \nA lot has happened since Richard Norris and Michelle Olley launched Journey to Nutopia in 2018. Our founding motto – ‘refuting the inevitability of global dystopia’ isn’t getting any easier\, but that’s all the more reason to look for the places in our doom-flooded news environment where The Work is happening – so we’re going back to basics. \nThe first Journey to Nutopia was a three-day programme of talks\, spoken word and acid house as part of Birmingham’s Lunar Festival in 2018. Authors\, activists\, artists\, academics\, psychedelic researchers\, poets and DJs came together to boost ‘positive future narratives that refute the inevitability of a global dystopia’. It was pure joy. \nWe are delighted to kick off our 2025 calendar with the return of some of our original guests from that line-up. Two of our speakers were Dr Ros Watts and Michelle Baker Jones – who\, as part of a series of trials with Prof. David Nutt\, were investigating the value of integrating psilocybin into mental health treatments. Psychological therapist Michelle joins us again to delve deeper into where that research has brought us in 2025 as part of a panel that includes PsyAware co-founder Anya Oleksiuk and psychotherapist and Psychedelic CPD Events founder Greg Donaldson. \nJamie Kelsey is always where it’s at. Longtime civil rights and climate activist and founding Nutopian\, Jamie will be talking about his latest initiative\, One World or None\, which combines his work as one of the people behind the scenes in XR/Just Stop Oil/A22 with being the co-founder of the world’s only Global Citizens’ Assembly. Richard Norris will read a passage from his beats-infused memoir Strange Things Are Happening (White Rabbit) to honour our acid house beginnings. Plus\, Chocolate Love Medicine’s Anita Brulee shares her wisdom on the healing properties of Mama Cacao.

SUMMARY:Water and Climate Change: 10 Things You Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Hear four speakers passionately discuss the implications of our changing world on a key area. Climate Change and water are intertwined\, from flooding and drought\, to increased demand and varying quality. \nWe’re looking at the 10 key changes you need to know: what we are already experiencing\, alongside what to expect in the coming years\, and the positive ways scientists and engineers are building resilience.. \nWe’ll examine the science behind attribution; what is the evidence that individual extreme flooding events – both inland and coastal – were affected by Climate Change? \nHow can we become more resilient in a changing world to extreme weather events and how does the artistic community work with scientists to communicate their work?

SUMMARY:The Pioneering Pensioners
DESCRIPTION:Mick Fowler and Victor Saunders are now officially pensioners\, with Saunders in his early 70s and Fowler in his late 60s. Despite being at a point in life when most people are hanging up their boots\, the pair are still as excited as ever for exploratory climbing. \nIn 2024\, the pair travelled to the Pakistani Karakoram where\, over seven days\, they made the first ascent of the spectacular Yawash Sar (6258m)\, a beautiful peak sometimes referred to as “the Matterhorn of the Khunjerab.” \nEven more impressively\, Fowler\, a cancer survivor\, made the climb (which included a night spent hanging from the side of the mountain in their harnesses) while wearing a colostomy bag. \nFor one night only\, they join us at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to discuss their latest climb\, their enduring partnerhsip and their future plans (because they aren’t stopping yet!)

SUMMARY:Marylebone Village International Women’s Day Panel Event
DESCRIPTION:Marylebone Village is home to a community of independent fashion labels\, global lifestyle brands\, and restaurants founded by inspirational women\, and to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025\, the central London shopping and dining destination announces a week of events\, in-store activities\, and promotions in support of their female founders.    \nNot only will the women behind the businesses of Marylebone Village be championed throughout the week\, but a live panel discussion event will start the week on Monday 3rd March 2025 taking place at The Marylebone Hotel.   \nEvent capacity is limited\, so spaces are being allocated via a ticket ballot. Apply for a pair of tickets via the Marylebone Village website via this dedicated link here.  \nHosted and moderated by local Marylebone Village resident and broadcaster Jo Good\, the panel features an impressive line-up of leading female business trailblazers:  \n\nHenrietta Rix\, co-founder of RIXO: With one of her best friends and co-founder Orlagh McCloskey\, Henrietta has built a cult following from the British womenswear label’s vintage-inspired silhouettes and hand-painted prints to create a covetable brand DNA that’s instantly recognisable.   \n\n\nMarielle Wyse\, founder of WYSE London: Following a successful career in television\, Marielle took some time out to bring up her kids before embarking on her own fashion label at age 49. What started as a handful of colourful cashmere jumpers has grown into a brand to answer all your style needs – but more importantly\, to make you feel good.   \n\n\nJennie Allen\, founder of Bayley & Sage: With a vision to create fresh food stores with the most delicious produce without compromising on quality\, the B&S story began in 1997. Today the products reflect the best of the season\, with 13 stores found in popular communities.   \n\n\nStacy Chan\, founder of PLATFORM: After a decade working in finance in New York\, London and Geneva\, Stacy decided to pursue her passion to champion and support the growth of independent brands. Her concept store showcases designers and artists that speak the future in fashion: sustainable\, quality made and carefully crafted.   \n\nThe evening is set to be inspiring and empowering\, with discussions covering the obstacles\, journeys\, and milestones across the panellists’ careers in fashion and hospitality\, plus a variety of topics including equality\, work life balance and career advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs\, as well as this year’s theme for IWD – Accelerate Action.    \nAfter the panel events\, guests are invited to network and enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles kindly provided by The Marylebone. The event will be fundraising on the evening and attendees are encouraged to bring toiletries to donate to the Marylebone Project’s Sanctuary\, the UK’s sole women’s-only drop in centre that’s open 24/7\, 365 days a year.

DESCRIPTION:Following a recent step towards theatre in his last few shows\, Mark Thomas is back to his finest stand-up form and anti-Tory sentiment in Gaffa Tapes as he takes his tour to the Leicester Square Theatre! \nMark’s now famous mix of standup\, theatre\, journalism and the odd bout of performance art has made him one of our oldest surviving alternative comics. Often referred to as the ‘godfather of political comedy’ (among many other things)\, Mark has been performing comedy for nearly 40 years. \nIf you don’t know what Mark does\, ask your parents. In his time\, he has won 8 awards for performing\, 3 for human rights work… and one he invented for himself. He has made six series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product and 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, made five series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, written five books and 4 play scripts\, curated and authored two art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and was commissioned to write a show for the Royal Opera House. He has forced a politician to resign\, changed laws on tax and protest\, become the Guinness Book of Records world record holder for a number of protests in 24 hours\, taken the police to court three times and won (the fourth is in the pipeline)\, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank (that’s 724km)\, and generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset (shall we say) the right people.

SUMMARY:Active Involvement in Research (AIRD) 2024: in person and online health conference
DESCRIPTION:Our annual Active Involvement in Research events bring together patients\, service users\, carers\, local people\, researchers\, health and care professionals\, and organisations in south London and beyond. \nThis year’s theme is ‘Improving health and care in south London\, shaping future research.’ \nFor several years\, Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South London has researched how various types of health and social care might be improved and inequalities tackled. \nStaff\, public contributors\, the community\, and other partners have worked hard to successfully understand and achieve change for local people who experience a range of issues. This includes those with multiple conditions and those facing disadvantage and discrimination that affects their well-being. But many south Londoners are still at risk and face barriers to getting the treatment and support they need. \nThis year\, Active Involvement in Research will look at: \n\nWhat the focus of future work should be from April 2026 to March 2031\, if funding is available\nHow can we\, our community and other partners build on local strengths and direct limited resources to address current challenges in useful ways? This includes not duplicating what other research teams and organisations have done.\nHow can we further develop active involvement and recognise the value of lived experience in future research?\n\nThis is the second of two events. It will be held online on 18 November 2024\, following the in-person event on 13 November. \nYou are welcome to join us at either or both events to hear about thinking to date and share your views\, which will help to shape future research. Further information will follow\, but places are limited\, so booking early is advisable. \nAttendance is free\, and all are welcome. \nFind out more \n\nTo find out more about the event\, please email involvement coordinator savitri.hensman@kcl.ac.uk. You can also visit www.arc-sl.nihr.ac.uk\nPlease note: Payments will be made to public members who have agreed on a role.

SUMMARY:The Party's Over - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ringing in the season of cracker crowns\, colourful balloons\, and party favours\, the sculptures in Doireann Gillan’s solo exhibition resemble symbols of joy and excitement as well as harbingers of loneliness and nostalgia. \n  \nSqueezed\, stretched and bent out of shape\, discarded industrial materials and soft spheres defy their prescribed functions as negative space and shadows compete with the objects they depend on. Oscillating between rage\, restraint and revelry\, their behaviour and appearance challenge historically gendered attributes. \n  \nGillan’s installations are metaphors for the tension between a desire for happiness and the collapse of the social structures necessary to meet this -for the unachievable aspirations in an era of heightened political and economic precarity. \n  \nThe Party’s Over is a playful provocation to take risks and bring about change.

As the fragile negotiations of the International Peace Conference get underway\, typist Stella Rutherford throws herself into her work and the mixture of glamour and devastation the City of Light reveals.

He will highlight some fascinating details connected to the trees and offer some thoughts about their future.\n\nThe link below provides more information about Paul Wood\, his work\, this event\, and tickets.

SUMMARY:MoH Deep Dive: Social Responses to Stigma
DESCRIPTION:Deep Dive is a current affairs programme hosted by Museum of Homelessness directors Matt and Jess. This monthly show will feature commentators\, intelligent analysis\, and some honest talk and will unpack what’s going on beyond tabloid sensationalism and stereotyping. \nAbout the next episode – Social Responses to Stigma: Book Tickets Here \nFive years ago\, a Danish artist called Christian Hornsleth fitted tracker apps to people sleeping rough and launched a city-wide art project that tracked their movements. Was it a prank? A pointed commentary on our morals and ethics? Or was it simply insensitive? It was difficult to tell in a swirl of social media outrage that followed. \nWhether it’s art projects or survivalists like Ed Stafford trying his hand at a bit of rough sleeping\, the idea of translating the experiences of homelessness is challenging because of the judgements that society brings to those who are most marginalised. \nThis episode will reflect on how social biases and stigma shape understanding of homelessness. This will include a deep dive into the social neuroscience of how dehumanisation\, the historical tradition of social poverty safari and up-to-date projects attempting to unpack stigma today. The episode will include special guests from both a lived experience and an academic perspective. \nGuests for this month \nAndy Guise: Andy will appear on the show and be the director of the Social Responses to Stigma study at Kings College London. MoH is part of the project which seeks to explore experiences of stigma and discrimination amongst people who are homeless in south London and then seeks to understand how this stigma is created or overcome within particular care and support systems. The project will then imagine new responses to stigma that take action at the level of society. \nDr Lasana Harris: Lasana is a Professor of Social Neuroscience in the Experimental Psychology Division of Psychology & Language  Sciences at UCL. Lasana has undertaken extensive research into dehumanised perception\, including work in homelessness settings. Lasana collaborated with MoH on its 2018 exhibition project\, ‘Objectified’\, exploring whether our object stories can change perceptions of homelessness. Lasana will do a pre-recorded interview\, which will be screened at the event. \nCheck out our Deep Dive page to listen to previous episodes. \nFurther Info \n11 am – 12 noon\, doors open at 10.30 am and snacks afterwards. \nThe programme will be published as a podcast after the studio recording \nTickets Available Here
