Belonging & Letting Go: Freedom Morning Running Club

3 mornings (e.g. Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, 8:30–9:45)This morning running club combines gentle running with conversation. We will talk about the things we are “running into” in life — struggles, burdens, and experiences we wish to release and find freedom from. Each morning has its own theme, explored through discussion on both a personal and a societal level. The aim is to lighten the load by sharing and reflecting together.Running takes place in a small group or in pairs, with groups naturally forming according to individual pace. The intention is to create a safe and supportive space for conversation while ensuring that everyone can move at a pace that feels comfortable for them.Participants are warmly invited to suggest running routes and to introduce local terrain to the group if they wish

Sounding Art Trail – sound walk walkshop

On Friday 20 March, we invite you to join us for a free sound walk walkshop starting at Otford railway station (TN14 5QY)at 11.00am, just metres from the UK's North Downs Way. You will be joined by artists and fellow participants to explore walking as a creative tool using guided listening, collective movement, and reflective exercises to engage with the soundscape of the trail. Rather than producing sound about place, the workshop emphasises producing sound with place, through embodied and shared experience.
