SUMMARY:SEED\, The Untold Story – Thursday 9 April\, 6.30pm

We work with anyone from local businesses to community organisations to help develop a thriving and more resilient food economy in our district.

SUMMARY:SOUND BATH MEDITATION - Monday 13 April\, 7.00-8.00pm
DESCRIPTION:Let the gentle vibrations produced by sound instruments soothe away your stresses and strains as you experience the unique relaxing calm of a sound bath meditation. Sessions held fortnightly in the George Gallery\, £10. For further details or to reserve a place\, please phone or text Katie Potter on 07415 302262. \n\nHealth benefits\nWhether you’re seeking relief from physical pain\, emotional distress\, or looking for peace\, sound baths can bring many benefits for physical and mental health: \n\nStress reduction and anxiety relief: Vibrations produced by the instruments are thought to interact directly with the body’s energy centres\, relieving stress and anxiety by shifting the nervous system from the fight-or-flight response to a state of rest.\nImproved sleep quality: Soothing sound waves can promote deep relaxation\, making it easier for the body to transition into sleep.\nEnhanced mental clarity and focus: A sound bath can help clear away the clutter of incessant thoughts and worries\, helping concentration and focus.\nDeepened meditation and spiritual insight: The vibrations of sound baths are thought to help you connect with your subconscious mind\, allowing inner exploration and self-discovery. Sometimes people experience profound insights or epiphanies during a sound bath.\nPhysical healing and pain relief: Sound bath meditation is thought to stimulate circulation\, enhance immune response\, and may promote the healing of tissues and cells. People with chronic pain conditions\, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia\, often note a reduction in symptoms.\nEmotional release and healing: Sound baths can create a safe space for emotional exploration and release. Because they’re thought to release emotions\, powerful sound waves may help people heal past traumas or deal with grief.

SUMMARY:Jazz at The George: BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN with Live Jazz Score\, Wednesday 15 April\, 8.00pm
DESCRIPTION:Jazz meets revolutionary cinema in this rare chance to experience the classic 1925 silent film by Sergei Eisenstein with live improvised music by Lyndon Owen (soundscapes\, woodwind) and Ashley John Long (double bass). \n\nTickets £12 – all welcome. Drinks and snacks available from the bar. \n  \n\nAbout the film\nWidely considered to be one of the most influential films of all time\, Battleship Potemkin takes place during the Russian Revolution of 1905\, as deplorable conditions on board the armoured cruiser Potemkin drive the ship’s crew to mutiny. \n\n\n\n\nEisenstein wrote the film as  propaganda\, but also used it to test his theories of montage. At the time\, revolutionary Soviet filmmakers were experimenting with the effect of film editing on audiences. Through his use of montage techniques\, Eisenstein’s aim was to maximise the viewer’s sympathy for the rebellious crew of the battleship and hatred for their overlords.
