Heart Circle

a place to pause, reconnect, and explore what it means to be alive in these changing times

6-8pm

Friday 19th June 2026

Islington Ecology Centre

191 Drayton Park, London, N5 1PH

The heart circle is a space to slow down, breathe, and be together.
Here we listen, to ourselves, to each other, and to the more-than-human world we’re part of.

In these times of uncertainty, we’ll gather our stories, questions, joys, and grief, holding them with care. We’ll use simple practices from meditation, somatics, and shared inquiry to help us drop into a deeper connection, with our own bodies, with community, and with the earth beneath our feet.

Co-facilitated by Ariyanandā from Open Ground and Michel from Social Landscapes, the circle is a place where stillness and play can meet, and where new ways of relating to the world can quietly take root.

Sessions are funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

The venue is easily accessible from Arsenal Station or Finsbury Park.

Park (Qi) Walk

Join us for a mindful Qi walk in the park, where movement, breathing, nature, and community come together in harmony. Under the sky, above ground, along with our fellow trees, we cultivate mindful awareness moment by moment, step by step, and explore living in balance with the natural rhythms of life.

As we warm up with Qigong, walk beneath the trees and across open space, we practice moving with ease rather than force, embodying Wu Wei — effortless action and flow. Through gentle movement in awareness and shared presence, we nurture stillness while moving, recognising our connectedness with one another and the living world around us.

Open to all ages and experience levels, Park Walk offers a welcoming space to slow down, listen deeply, energise the mind, body and heart, and discover how each step can become a practice of harmony, vitality, and belonging.

Please arrive 10mins before the start time to settle in.
