It's getting darker, so our special Films in the Foyer screenings are back!
This Halloween we'll be projecting another cult classic comedy-horror for you to enjoy on the big screen in the spooky darkness of Deptford Library front foyer. This is a rare chance to see a lesser-known film from a legendary horror director not currently available on streaming... – think 90’s, think gentrification satire, think horror hall-of-fame! Want to know which one? Visit the library or sign up to our newsletter (https://forms.office.com/e/j2VMf5ynjw) to get the full film schedule direct to your inbox.
FREE POPCORN will be provided! But if you would like any additional snacks or refreshments you are welcome to bring your own.
The film will start at 7pm.
This event is wheelchair accessible and the film will have subtitles. Accessible toilets will also be available throughout the screening. If you have any other accessiblity needs or questions about the event please do let us know by calling 020 8314 7299 or emailing us at deptfordlibrary@lewisham.gov.uk (mailto:deptfordlibrary@lewisham.gov.uk)
Lucie's focus as a teacher is on the holistic nature of yoga and on community in her weekly SE13 class. The classes are less about flexibility and acrobatics - something that has become the norm in Western culture - and more about the true origin of yoga; ‘Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self’ (Bhagavad Gita), a lifelong journey within. Whilst yoga asanas (poses) are a crucial part of yoga, they are not the whole part - breath work and meditation amongst other elements are just as important. Her classes aim to reflect the ancient and ‘true’ meaning of yoga and as a result help you come back to yourself - in mind, in body, in breath.
