This day expands on our Tuesday ‘Meditation + Evolution’ evenings\, which provide a fascinating and profound\, experiential exploration of the connection between meditation and living an engaged life. A full day will provide an environment to go more deeply into all aspects of the Tuesday events. The Being aspect will be explored by immersion in the timeless Ground of Being through guided meditation. The Becoming aspect will involve learning how meditation can help us to awaken to the evolutionary impulse that is the very life force within us. The Being and Becoming Day will also give you a taste of the remarkable potentials that emerged in the recent retreat in Tuscany. If you were at the retreat\, it will be an opportunity to immerse yourself once again in the powerful field of spiritual creativity and communion that was created among the participants and that is always - and miraculously - moving forward. For newcomers it will be an opportunity to involve yourself directly in this emerging field. The presenters have many years’ experience of practice and guiding others in evolutionary spirituality. The Tuesday evening events and the Being and Becoming Day form part of a powerful developmental programme called the Discovery Cycle which EnlightenNext launched in the summer of 2009.

You do not need to bring a new picture with you\, you can do if you want\, but you can bring an old photo you want to receive some critics on. Please if possible bring the image on a memory stick or similar. Printed pictures are great too. An image shown on an Iphone probably won't do your picture justice.

England tamed the Pumas 37 – 15 at Old Trafford in June but a week later on home soil Argentina turned the tables with a 24 – 22 victory. Now in a forerunner of England’s first match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup there is everything to play for at Twickenham on November 14 (kick off 2.30pm). After playing Australia the week before\, Martin Johnson’s squad will face the challenge of an Argentina side that finished third in the 2007 Rugby World Cup and who have recently been invited to join the Tri-Nations in 2012. The Test represents a rare opportunity for families and friends to sample the unique Twickenham atmosphere\, and with the likes of British and Irish Lions duo Ugo Monye\, Tom Croft and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson in contention for the starting fifteen\, there will be no shortage of action to excite the fans. England Team Manager\, Martin Johnson said: “The Pumas are an extremely gifted side and they are ahead of England in the world rankings on merit. Argentina proved again in the summer what an excellent side they are. Like all of the England squad and the fans – who I am sure will create a really good atmosphere – I am looking forward to the game on November 14.” England has played their Argentine counterparts 14 times since their first meeting in May 1981\, winning 9 times\, losing four and drawing once. *Tickets for the Investec Challenge Series match between England and Argentina are available priced at £45 and £65 for adults and £10 for under 16s via www.rfu.com/tickets.

Comics London DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4842417/ ] The latest signing to mark in your diary none other than counter-culture legend and all-round Gosh! Favourite\, Gilbert Shelton. He’s no stranger to the hallowed Gosh! basement but hasn’t been here in well over a year. In that time we’ve seen hundreds of copies of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Omnibus fly off the shelf and the brand new Fat Freddy’s Cat Omnibus promises to do much the same thing. Fat Freddy’s Cat originally began as a footnote to the now iconic Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers misadventures but very quickly became enormously popular in his own right. Bringing feline logic to the tie-dyed\, drug-flushin’ world of the Freak Brothers\, the Cat can be seen sleeping on Fat Freddy’s head\, battling endless armies of roaches\, travelling to Mexico\, saving the world from an alien invasion and (of course) the Hee Hee Hee drug. “Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati. With the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers he has created a hilarious and unlikely sibling trio as timeless in their appeal as the Marx Brothers. He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer.” – Alan Moore If you can’t make it in for the signing on Saturday the 14th of November 3pm – 5pm\, don’t get burned! Let us know and we’ll score you a signed copy. Keed spills!
