The last book of the year is Julia by Sandra Newman. 1984 from Julia’s viewpoint. London, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania. It’s 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen – cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. She’s very good at staying alive.
But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department – a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith, she comes to realise that she’s losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world.
Read along at home with us (places in the group are on hold for now but may open up again in the new year.
This year’s Carols by Candlelight will take place on Sunday 15 December, 1700-1800. As usual, there will be mulled wine and mince pies and a chance to sing the classics with all the neighbours. Please download the songbook and bring along or view on your smart device. Helps save trees.
Tantra Hatha Yoga is a sacred, embodied practice that cultivates energetic awareness and transformation (i.e., the chakra system) through asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation practices.
In this practice, you will be invited to slow down and guided on an internalised meditative journey, strengthening your physical body, purifying and balancing your energetic body, and liberating your mind.
In Jade’s classes you can expect a heart-centred, trauma informed and re-empowerment approach, cultivated through many years of supporting women who are living with trauma to heal and re-claim their lives. Jade’s yoga teaching is a creative expression, interwoven with yogic philosophy, reflexive poetry, and embodied practices and wisdom.
Jade’s aim is to support you to be in yoga and experience your true nature, loving stillness.
Suitable for everyone, all experience levels welcome! Head over to our Events page to book.
November’s Cricklereaders choice is The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden.
Join the group on the sofa at the library on Sunday 3 November, 1030 am, or read along at home.
