Feeling disheartened about the riots tonight. And its reminded me of the chaos that minority groups continue facing on a larger scale, all over the world. Will it ever end? 😔💔

As a woman of ethnic heritage, I was born and raised here in the UK. This is my home. I love my neighbour and have focussed many years of my life on community cohesion and building bridges.
Yet, I wonder today whether it has made any difference?

I woke this morning and anxiety took over my physical being. I picked up my phone and checked the CCTV cameras of my own business location in the early hours. Then got myself into work and proceeded to operate with bravery and a somewhat forced smile all day, whilst hoping for the best.

Will each day be the same until we see an end to this all?

I have chosen to stay indoors this evening and cancelled basic plans, for fear of not being out anywhere that chaos may arise.

If far right extremists see me in the street, will I be targeted for being “brown” or “muslim” or any other reason “they deem” an issue? Will my car be stopped and trashed as I try to get somewhere. Will our community hub (Cheerful Chai) be subject to damage or attack in the coming days?

I said to a dear friend this evening that “the world just feels out of balance”. And she rightly emphasised that I was right - “it is out of balance”. But more importantly, she reminded me to “keep my balance!”.
Wise words indeed! 🙏

A special, thank you to Essex Police and the forces all around the country. You are valued.

Wishing everyone love, peace and balance tonight…… AND Most of all to the families of the three beautiful innocent little souls that should be the focus of our energy. Remember : Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar 💔

📣 The Website is ready … and we took the front cover of The City Times this month 📣

Many of you have recently been enquiring as to my whereabouts as I have been in the coffee shop a lot less in person. Well, I can assure you that lots has been going on behind the scenes as I begin to look at the wider picture. How I can enhance the community provisions we already have though my core vision of “community cohesion through collaboration”

As such, one of many developments is now ready to share. And I’m delighted to finally bring you our new website. It’s been a journey for sure. One which would not have been possible without Aaron (my hero) at Pixel Systems for all his patience during the creation and ex*****on phase. Thank you so much. My chaotic brain can be hard to manage when it comes to creativity. And he has the patience of a saint.

I’m also grateful to Fiona Mai at Photography by Bromsgrove for taking and creating some really professional photos as part of the project. A star for sure whom I highly recommend.

And - Yes….. although it’s done, it’s never really done, so Aaron already has an extended list from me consisting of a bookings system and newsletter as well as starting to work on Cheerful Chais website too.

So may I once again welcome you all to your community hub - Angel Pavilion.

Meet and Greet Event for Chelmsford, Essex and surrounding areas.

I feel privileged to have the role of volunteer Essex regional lead for the “Out and Wild” festival. The UKs largest festival for le***an, bisexuals, trans, q***r women, and non-binary folk!
 
Along with a fellow lead, I will be hosting a free drop-in session (meetup) to answer any questions about this year’s event whether you have been before or are planning/thinking about doing so for the first time this year. 
 
Taking place at Angel Pavilion (Home of Cheerful Chai coffee shop - which will be open too!) in Chelmsford. Its open to everyone within Essex and those in surrounding areas. 
 
There truly is loads to get involved in such as :
- wilderness based hikes, 
- swimming in the Estuary a short walk from the site which will be led by The Bluetits (national open water swimming group)
- gong baths
- silent (and noisy) discos
- spoken word as well as readers and writers sessions
And so much more. There is something for everyone to engage with. Why not combine signing up for something new as well as taking time to re-ignite a long lost passion in this safe, inclusive and fun space. I can’t wait!! 
 
Such a wonderful opportunity, to meet like-minded individuals along the way and return home feeling empowered. 
 
There will also be a selection of sessions curated for the Global Majority community as well this summer and prayer space is also available on site. 
 
The views alone are breath-taking. Well-being truly at its finest! 
 
And the best part is the value for money given so much can be enjoyed within the price of your ticket. 
 
So…. come along with your questions or to simply meet others and myself if you are going alone. At least you will have a friendly face that you recognise on arrival.

are holding our first Gong Bath in our hometown since 2021!

We are holding a Friday evening Gong Bath to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Equinox and our new venue in Chelmsford Angel Pavilion

Ostara is a powerful time of the year to connect with the Earth energies, create inner harmony and ignite new beginnings.

This will also prepare you for the eclipse season coming right up! 🤪

The deep sounds of the gongs naturally help you to arrive into a state of relaxation and meditation, as the sounds help to give your mind something to distract it from itself. You will find yourself feeling much calmer and peaceful as your thoughts begin to soften.

What to expect:
Welcome introduction
Intention setting meditation
45 minute Gong Bath
Time to reawaken, reconnect and recover.

🌸
