The Inner Council of a Queen Woman, meeting her inner resilience
It seems to me that the world longs for whole women, mature, elder, and tempered by Soul’s hand
It seems to me that Mother Earth needs women who act from their Queen

The Queen is the archetype of that which offers a welcome space, to each of us and more broadly to our apocalyptic world. It offers connectivity, wisdom, listening, benevolence and creativity.

The archetype of the Queen when welcomed in its entirety is activated in the service of something bigger than herself. The other 8 archetypes of the woman are then at her service so that she can be fully at the service of Life.

A queen in her light, having integrated her shadow and accompanied by her king, has the ability to recognize, welcome, listen to and protect her people and lands (our Earth).

The inner council of the Queen woman
Listening to our inner counsel brings us to meet our inner archetypes, to welcome their lights and their shadows, to listen to each one, to nourish decision-making for our life, with Life and for life.
The 9 archetypes:
~ The Mother
~ The Child
~ The Nun
~ The Maiden
~ The Magician
~ The Lover
~ The Huntress
~ The Crone
~ The Queen (with her King)

The Queen woman learns to listen and protect life, all beings and the living world, both within the inner council and outside, within her community of human and non-human beings.
During this meeting between women, we will seek to cultivate our inner resilience through listening to the inner advice of our wife Queen.
Who is the Queen Woman?
Why is it important for a woman’s life and for all life?
What are her shadows and lights?
Where does she find support?
Where does she meet the danger?

We will explore and welcome the shadows and lights of each of our female archetypes.

Amongst other things, among our shadows: the fundamentalist, the controller, the superior or stifling mother, the eternal victim, the manipulator, the evil witch, the territorial, the spiritual cannibal, the praying mantis, the destructive teenager, the savior, the super woman and martyrdom …
Among our lights: the foster mother, the child marveled and connected to all, the protectress, the wise, the innocent, the discipline, the one that erases illusions, the witch, the sensual, the mystic.
We will practice this listening and this reception
~ In systemic constellation
~ In Movement
~ In Sharing Circle and Council
~ By creating our personal archetypal flag with fabric, paint, thread and needles.
We will meet them with curiosity, courage, compassion and creativity.

The Leopard (PG) – 1963, Italy, 178 mins

Director: Luchino Visconti

Based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s novel, Il Gattopardo tells the story of an aristocratic Sicilian family threatened by the political upheavals in late 19th Century Italy. Starring Burt Lancaster as the Prince of Salina it is a gorgeous evocation of an era – stunningly photographed, designed and costumed, with a rousing score by Nino Rota. It glitters with superb set pieces, culminating in the 45-minute ballroom scene where we can see and feel a society in transition.

The Ottoline jacket is an advanced course, this course will appeal to someone who is a confident sewer and is looking to tackle something new.

Merchant and Mills pattern and sewing sundries included, you will need to bring our own material to make the jacket.

A relaxed fun course to help you feel confident at tackling more advanced garment making, – design awareness skills,  and to achieve a beautiful finish.

At the start of the course you will have an opportunity to try on ready made different sized calico toiles, to help you choose the style of fit you are looking for.  This means choosing from a slim fit slick look or a more slouchy casual fit – depending on the size you feel comfortable in.   You will be shown how to make any tweaks to your pattern, giving you a great looking garment, so you’ll be going home with a pattern you know fits beautifully which you can use again.

Your ‘Ottoline’ jacket can be made to the length that suits you, the sleeve length can also be adjusted to just the way you like it as well.

• The jacket could be made in various fabrics such as denim, plain twill, corduroy,  needlecord or wool, to wear as an all round versatile indoor/outdoor jacket.
• It could be made as a summer evening jacket by using an easy to sew silk such as duoppion.
• It could be made as a Spring/Summer casual jacket by using a medium-heavier weight cotton or a gorgeous linen.ON THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTEGRATED RANGE OF CLOTHES MAKING SKILLS AT AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL. 
• Reading a complex pattern
• Cutting out with precision and attention to changing the grain line
• Using a sewing machine with skill and accuracy
• Construction techniques and tricks of the trade
• Full assistance for fitting tweaks
• Design awareness skills
• Professional finishing skills
• ABOUT THE COURSE. . . . . . .
• All equipment, sewing machines and overlockers are provided, you may bring your own machine if you wish
• Course held in a large fully equipped sewing workroom with ample good quality equipment.
• Up to a maximum of 8 places available.
• Jane Norris leading the workshop and demonstrations along with an experienced assistant for courses with more than 4 participants.
• Course starts at 6pm – 9pm every Monday.
• The room will be open for teas/coffee from 5.30pm.

BRING WITH YOU: 

• FABRIC see pattern details at www.merchantandmills.com
• MATCHING THREAD (Gutterman sew-all or Gutterman 100% cotton/linen/silk thread; choose a slightly darker tone rather than a lighter one if the match is not exact).
• TOP-STITCHING THREAD (If you would like to use this? If this is a contrast colour then also buy a sew-all thread to match your contrast colour).
• BUTTONS OR JEANS STUDS these can be bought later in the course or provided when you’ve had a chance to learn more about your design choices.
• (NB: Woven iron on interfacing is provided as a free sundry).
• Comfy shoes or slippers could also be good.
• Teas, real coffee and biscuits/nibbles will be available for rest breaks each evening.

CHOOSING YOUR FABRIC: 

• Patterns will be provided at the workshop, for reference to the amount of fabric you will need to bring go to www.merchantandmills.com website.  Select  ‘Store’ then ‘patterns’ then look for the ‘Ottoline’ jacket picture – in the ‘details’ section you will see information on the types of fabric to use – I would advise using a natural fabric rather than synthetics as these are much easier to work with.  See listed the amount of fabric required.
• You will also notice that there are different amounts listed according to the width measurement of your chosen fabric.
• If you would like to increase the length it may be helpful to measure a jacket you already have that is of a length that suits you.  (Contact me for further info on increasing the amount of fabric you need if it’s more that an inch or two).
• If you are local – and as I live behind Stone Fabrics in Totnes it is easy for me to meet you in the shop and help you with any advice  before the workshop weekend, just email to arrange.
• If tracking down a fabric sounds a bit complicated and you are not local to the area I would highly recommend choosing a Merchant and Mills fabric; there is a comprehensive picture list of suitable fabrics on-line for this pattern, plus a large range of similar fabrics.   All of their fabrics are really lovely, of a good quality design and great colours – and they are super helpful in giving extra advice over the phone.

Tracy’s classes draw on the Ashtanga Vinyassa tradition, so expect to find a creative mix of yogasana, meditation, philosophy and play. Teaching from her heart, she believes in the healing power of the breath, in being curious and finding an equal play between strength and softness.

Weekly sessions will combine movement and breath work to explore the mobility of the body and mind with an equal mix of precision, fluidity and self-compassion. Classes build slowly. We begin by pressing pause from our day, connecting to our breath and scanning our physical, mental and emotional bodies. Then we move into a flowing practice, connecting movement with breath. Sequences will be offered at a pace that allows a sense of fluidity at the same time as offering time for correct alignment and a mindful, embodied practice.

Directed by: Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi

Due to public demand the cinema has provided another chance to feel the rush as Alex Honnold free solo’s El Capitan!

Sullivan’s Travels (U) – 1941, USA, 90 mins

Director: Preston Sturges

Tired of churning out lightweight comedies, Hollywood director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) decides to make “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. After his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, Sullivan hits the road disguised as a hobo. En route to enlightenment, he encounters a lovely but no-nonsense young woman (Veronica Lake) – and more trouble than he ever dreamed of.

Doors open for fine wines and all manner of drinks at 7pm.  Film starts at 8pm

A tutored street community activist choir singing songs to inspire creative change for a more socially and environmentally just world.

Voices of Freedom is open to all people of all singing abilities, no prior experience necessary!

Totnes Market Choir is an informal drop-in choir, we do not practice for performances but rather spend our time opening up and exploring our singing voice and enjoying the experience of singing together in harmony, here and now! The invitation to enjoy this moment allows us to settle into a different state of being to the usual ‘fight-flight-freeze’ mentality that many of us fall into in our daily lives as we go about getting from A to B as fast as possible. It allows us to explore 2-3 songs each week in a relaxed, playful frame of mind.

Want to knit and have a drink and a chat at the same time? Or do you fancy learning the basics but got no-one to show you?

Come along to the Bay Horse and join CHRISSIE and KATHY,
on Tuesday evenings, 6 to 8 o’clock.

“Plastic is all around us and we need to do what we can to help stop the use of excess plastic and especially single use plastic. ”

Lizzie says; “I would like to do my bit and show you how to make your own Beeswax food wrap. These food wraps are made from a piece of cotton fabric, pine resin and natural beeswax. They can then be used and reused for up to a year to cover, wrap and hold food.

They are designed to be wiped clean with cool water and a small amount of detergent so that they can then be re-used.

During this workshop we will be making a few fabric wraps each, using either the beeswax or the soya wax which is our vegan alternative to the beeswax. We will have a lovely selection of fabrics for you to choose form but if you have some at home you’d like to use make sure it is washed and 100% cotton and bring it along.”

Mary Queen of Scots (15) – 2019, UK, 112 mins

Director: Josie Rourke

First-time film director Josie Rourke explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne, setting her on a collision course with the compelling Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie). Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence.

Doors open for fine wines and all manner of drinks at 7pm.  Film starts at 8pm

Not an open-mic – Its an Open Jam.

Can magic mushrooms cure depression? Over four years, filmmaker Monty Wates was given exclusive access to the first ever medical trial giving psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) to volunteers suffering from the condition. His remarkable documentary debut follows three volunteers and their families, as well as the ambitious staff running the trial, who hope this controversial treatment may one day have the power to transform millions of lives. With moving
footage of the patients as they seek to cope with their mental health issues, this is an intimate, engaging portrait of both the impact depression can have on our lives, and the exciting potential of new drug therapies.

The screening will be followed by a discussion of the growing field of research into the medicinal potential of psychedelic substances with Dr Andy Letcher, author of Shroom: A Cultural History of the Magic Mushroom and Lecturer at Schumacher College here at Dartington.
