ConsciousCafe is run by volunteers so please book ahead on the ConsciousCafe website so that we know how many people to expect and will have enough refreshments for everyone. We are much looking forward to meeting you to begin this new chapter of ConsciousCafe right here in North London. Together we would like to create a supportive community where we can grow, reflect and celebrate conscious living.
Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone you think would love to join us – most people hear about ConsciousCafe through word-of-mouth.

Join psychologist and consciousness researcher Kirsty Allan for an inspiring evening with Conscious Cafe, exploring why being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is not a weakness—but actually a powerful gift.
Kirsty reveals how high sensitivity, once overlooked, is fast becoming central to conscious leadership and community healing.
Learn how your deep empathy, creativity, and intuitive awareness are part of a rare and valuable processing style shared by just 20% of the population.
Through this event, Kirsty will guide you to embrace your innate magic, overcome common challenges like self-doubt and burnout, and step into your authentic purpose with clarity and confidence.
A recording of the event is included with your ticket price.
Kirsty Allan is a psychologist, author, consciousness researcher, certified coach, therapist and community leader (working with Broughton Sanctuary, Wyrd Research, University of Northampton and more). She explores what it means to truly be ‘highly sensitive’. Kirsty invites you to join her in a movement of sensitive seekers who want to thrive - to step up and into their authentic roles in life. "My aim is to help sensitive people self-empower themselves so they can do their highest good in the world".

“Setting our intentions for the New Year”
ConsciousCafe Canterbury will be looking at what we would like to change about ourselves, our environment and /or our lives in the new year. We need to clarify first what we really want and then we can use the power of the mind and of positive intention. As we start the new year let us set our intentions on the future and on making things better for ourselves and others.
Hannah Nicholls has been studying this topic for many years and will help us to discover how to use the Power of Eight from the work of Lynne McTaggart and also discuss the teachings of Dr Joe Dispenza who wrote the book “Becoming Supernatural”. We will learn tools that can help us to increase our health and happiness.
Refreshments provided.
We meet once a month to enjoy mind-expanding conversations in a safe space with like-minded people. Come to ConsciousCafe to meet others and explore the journey of life using walking the labyrinth as a metaphor of life’s journey.
We will look at the value of walking as a tool for meditation and reflection. The labyrinth was used in the past as a substitute for pilgrimage.
Victoria Fields and Maggie Smith will act as facilitators for the event.
Victoria Fields is a poet and writer who has written about her own experience of pilgrimage walking the Camino in her book “Baggage”. Maggie Smith is a counsellor who was involved with the development of the labyrinth at the University of Kent and undertook labyrinth facilitator training at Chartres Cathedral.
This event is part of the Canterbury Pilgrim Festival and is a free event.

We invite you to join us in a very special evening. Come and ask a question, any question, and Judith will provide answers. This may sound absurdly simplistic yet using this format, Judith's ability to offer hugely valuable and sage answers to questioners has time and time again shifted perspective, altering familiar landscapes and revealing hidden wisdom and much greater depth of understanding in answer to the question.
Judy Piatkus says "I was privileged to share a similar experience with Judith. It felt so special and so profound that I asked Judith if she would come and offer it to ConsciousCafe members. I was so thrilled when she said yes! "
Date: Wednesday 22 May 2019
Time: 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm
Location: Steiner House, 35 Park Road, London NW1 6XT (1 minute from Baker Street station)
We are enhancing this event with a networking opportunity in a café nearby. We will meet at 4.30 pm and you will have the chance for a networking conversation with Conscious Cafe people. We will also go out together after the event for a drink or a snack so that we can continue the conversation afterwards. Please email judy@consciouscafe.org if you would like to come to the early networking event and/or the supper afterwards, and we will let you know where we are meeting.
