Welcome to ConsciousCafe in London.
ConsciousCafe is enjoying a London renaissance. Since covid we have offered regular social lunches and dinners in Central London and we will continue to offer these.
In January we launched a new local North London ConsciousCafe discussion group, Hampstead and Highgate and this group has got off to a great start. We are also launching a new live ConsciousCafe group in Notting Hill led by Vita Karabalina.

“Psychodrama is an altered state of consciousness.”
— Bessel van der Kolk
Psychodrama is a powerful and creative approach to psychotherapy that enables us to move beyond the logical, thinking mind and access deeper truths at a visceral and embodied level.
In this experiential evening, Malcolm Stern will introduce you to psychodrama as a powerful tool for transformation, exploring how it can unlock new perspectives, release emotional energy and bring us into a deeper relationship with ourselves and others.
Through practical exercises, demonstration and participation, we will explore some of the essential stages of psychodrama, including:
• Reflective listening – learning to hear what lies beneath the words
• Feedback – discovering how others experience us
• Setting up a psychodrama – bringing an issue into the here and now
• Working with touch – exploring safe and appropriate physical connection
• Noticing body signals – listening to the wisdom of the body
This is an opportunity to experience psychodrama rather than simply learn about it – discovering how the body, imagination, relationship and spontaneity can take us beyond familiar patterns and open up new possibilities for change.
Malcolm Stern has been practising psychotherapy for more than 30 years and uses psychodrama as his principal tool in group work. He is the author of Slay Your Dragons with Compassion (Watkins, 2020), teaches internationally, and was co-founder of Alternatives at St James’s Church, Piccadilly.
Come curious. Come ready to participate. Come and discover what psychodrama can unlock.

In this exciting ConsciousCafe Global Online event, Rose Todd, experienced homeopath and founder of The Bach Flower School will explain to you why and how this simple natural system of emotional healing can work for you.
Bach Flower Remedies are natural vibrational remedies and can offer you a supported path to becoming more aware of yourself, understanding your emotions better and enabling you to move from an uncomfortable emotional state towards a different perspective.
You will discover:
· What the Bach Flower Remedies actually are
· How our uncomfortable emotions cause us distress

As more people choose to search for ways to heal without drugs and medications from pharmacists, the Bach Flower Remedies offer you a safe and effective alternative to getting well.

ConsciousCafe invites you to join our next London Lunch which will be held in Central London. You will have the opportunity to meet likeminded conscious people and chat over a meal in a relaxed atmosphere.
Many beautiful friendships and connections have been created at our London lunches and dinners. We love it when we see people exchanging their contact details as they leave. There is always a special bond when you enjoy deep conversations together. We choose restaurants which are good value for money with a selection of dishes to suit all dietary requirements. You will receive your own bill at the end of the meal and will only pay for what you have ordered. We reckon a budget of £20 - £35 should cover your meal.
We know we are getting it right when people ask us at the end of the lunch – or dinner – ‘when is the next one?’ So far this has happened every time.
If you would like to come to our next lunch please send a non-refundable deposit of £5 per person to book your place. This covers our administration costs for the event. If places are sold out please email Judy@consciouscafe.org to go on the waiting list as sometimes guests cancel at the last moment.
Places are limited so please book as soon as you can to reserve your seat at the table. During the meal you will have the chance to move around and meet different people. If you want to invite a conscious friend to come with you of course that’s fine but this is a spiritual networking event so be prepared to connect with other people and not just talk to the person you have come with. If you do make a booking for two tickets please let us know the name and contact details of your friend.
ConsciousCafe is a not-for-profit organisation, a friendly and welcoming community, a place to live life consciously.
