You will have the opportunity to meet likeminded conscious people and chat over a meal in a relaxed atmosphere. \nMany beautiful friendships and connections have been created at our London lunches and dinners. We love it when we see people exchanging their contact details as they leave. There is always a special bond when you enjoy deep conversations together. \nWe choose restaurants which are good value for money with a selection of dishes to suit all dietary requirements. You will receive your own bill at the end of the meal and will only pay for what you have ordered. We reckon a budget of £20 - £35 should cover your meal. \nWe know we are getting it right when people ask us at the end of the lunch – or dinner – ‘when is the next one?’ So far this has happened every time . \nIf you would like to come to our February Lunch please send a non-refundable deposit of £5 per person to book your place. This covers our administration costs for the event. If places are sold out please email Judy@consciouscafe.org to go on the waiting list as sometimes guests cancel at the last moment. \nPlaces are limited so please book as soon as you can to reserve your seat at the table. During the meal you will have the chance to move around and meet different people. If you want to invite a conscious friend to come with you of course that’s fine but this is a spiritual networking event so be prepared to connect with other people and not just talk to the person you have come with. If you do make a booking for two tickets please let us know the name and contact details of your friend. \n‘Interesting people\, lovely food and great atmosphere. Looking forward to the next one already’. TK \n‘I love the opportunity to talk about my work with people who understand what I do’. JS\, energy healer \n‘I always look forward to your dinners. They are such a treat’.

But now the fast-changing world in which we live combined with a myriad of new technology is changing all that. \nNew rules for the way to work best are constantly being created and it is only the limitations of our mind-set that prevent us from moving as fast and as effectively as we would like. \nTechnology combined with rising consciousness offers modern different ways of thinking and being. One of the most important skills is to learn to create by having a sense of who we are in the world and what we want to achieve.  With clear focus and the ability to ‘allow’ for things to happen\, we attract situations and circumstances which are more aligned to our purpose and who we are.  \nClaudia Roth will share her experience of moving from a state of constantly ‘doing’ (a sign of success in the corporate world) to a new place of ‘allowing’ in the process\, transforming her life professionally and personally to a new level of inner connectedness. During the evening you will learn\, discuss and explore how to unlearn some of the habits you are so familiar with i.e. your success patterns and discover how to start creating a more smooth-flowing lifestyle in alignment with your purpose. You will gain awareness of how to become much more effective in allowing life to flow the way you want it to. Be warned … it is a journey of unlearning! \nClaudia Roth Biography \nAn experienced\, global senior corporate executive and former Vice President Europe\, Middle East & Africa of The Leading Hotels of the World (the world’s largest hospitality organisation\, representing over 375 of the finest hotels\, resorts and spas such as The Ritz London\, the Sandy Lane in Barbados … the best of the best)\, her sweet spot is using her mastery of business and awareness to inspire others to see the business world differently. Claudia enjoys a strong track record in managing and leading multi-cultural organizations and teams through growth and change. \nDescribed as “a pioneer in luxury and consciousness” and a global citizen\, she helps decision makers reach beyond their own boundaries and limitations to create a new paradigm of success. She believes in reconnecting employees to the business\, to the brand and customers – by opening the door to greater awareness\, expanding beyond perceived limitations\, and exploring the possibilities and depths of success. \nSmart companies have woken up to the fact that change has to come from within – and that nothing less than genuine awareness\, personal integrity and emotional engagement will do in such a fast changing and transparent environment. She is the founder and Managing Director of Soul Luxury\, an innovative client-experience company that unites the worlds of business and awareness. \n  \n  \nCancellation policy\nIf you cancel up to 72 hours before the event we can either refund your money\, less 10% admin costs\, or you can have a full credit for a future ConsciousCafe event to be used within two years. \n  URL:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/event/from-thinking-to-allowing/ LOCATION:October Gallery\, 24 Old Gloucester Street\, London \, WC1N 3AL \, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/claudia-roth-professional-photo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ConsciousCafe":MAILTO:info@consciouscafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160420T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160420T210000 DTSTAMP:20260608T051847 CREATED:20160222T122500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T144335Z UID:10000221-1461177000-1461186000@staging.consciouscafe.org SUMMARY:Discover Your True Relationship with Yourself DESCRIPTION:“Your relationships with others are all determined by the one you have developed with yourself. But what is the true state of that relationship? How accurate is your view of yourself?\nFor example\, what relationship have you consciously developed between your spirit and your soul\, your mind and your brain\, your feelings and your body? And what impression does this make on others?” \nTeacher\, speaker and acclaimed author Mark Ballabon returns to ConsciousCafe with this powerful interactive event 'Discover your true relationship with yourself'. As always\, he will offer us original insights and dynamic exercises to inspire a higher level of wisdom and freedom in this most important of our relationships… which influences every aspect of how we live our lives. \nPRICE \n£15.00  All bookings made online before 14/4/16 £20.00  On the door £12.00  ConsciousCafe Supporters for all bookings made online before 14/4/16 \nBook Now on Eventbrite URL:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/event/discover-your-true-relationship-with-yourself/ LOCATION:Steiner House\, 35 Park Road\, London\, NW1 6XT\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/reflection.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ConsciousCafe":MAILTO:info@consciouscafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20160302T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20160302T213000 DTSTAMP:20260608T051847 CREATED:20160208T130443Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T144404Z UID:10000220-1456943400-1456954200@staging.consciouscafe.org SUMMARY:How to Bring Your Consciousness to Work DESCRIPTION:An interactive event to be facilitated by Andrew Isaac Thornton & Eudora Ralph Pascall of Heart in Business Limited   \nAndrew Isaac Thornton and Eudora Ralph Pascall are the Founders of Heart in Business Limited\, an organisation that inspires and supports companies to focus on people and the planet\, trusting that profit will follow.  They will facilitate an interactive event where we will have the opportunity to hear about the ideas behind Heart in Business.  We will then explore how we might introduce these new ways of thinking into our own world of work\, in order to achieve much greater success and all-round rewards for everyone involved. \nEvent includes food and drink. \nBook now on Eventbrite URL:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/event/speaking-your-truth-in-relationships-at-home-and-at-work/ LOCATION:October Gallery\, 24 Old Gloucester Street\, London \, WC1N 3AL \, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.consciouscafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/logo-thumb-new.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ConsciousCafe":MAILTO:info@consciouscafe.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
