A Plastic Ocean begins when journalist Craig Leeson, searching for the elusive blue whale, discovers plastic waste in what should be pristine ocean.

Join Brighton & Hove Friends of the Earth at St Augustine's Events Centre for a screening of this adventure documentary, as Craig teams up with free diver Tanya Streeter and an international team of scientists and researchers to travel to 20 locations around the world. Together they explore the fragile state of our oceans, uncover alarming truths about plastic pollution, and reveal working solutions that can be put into immediate effect.

My name is Rachel Martin I've practised Pilates for 8 years and taught for 2 years in Brighton and Hove. At MyPilates, Matwork is a core workout, using our bodies as weights to strengthen our cores and stretch our bodies. All Levels are welcome as I teach different levels of the same exercise as we go along. And if you want a tough core workout you can pump it up or if you need more of a stretch you can just use the class for the stretches. Everyone works at their own pace and capability. Pilates helps for tightening up those tummy muscles and helping prevent back/neck pain.

TangoBootCamp are delighted to introduce weekly Argentine Tango Classes to Saint Augustine’s. Tango is fun, exciting, sexy and great exercise. You may have seen it on Strictly and have always wanted to give it a go. No dance experience is needed, no partner is required. Best of all the first night is Totally Free! Our teachers are very patient and will make sure even those with two left feet learn to dance. Be warned though ….tango is quite addictive and some of you will fall in love with it and become seriously hooked.

Jagged Mountain Presents: Iberian 'SONGS for the DEAD' an offering of a collection of Iberian Indigenous land working songs, Spanish Medieval Romances, Ladino exiled Electronic loop experiments and poems.

Our one day (4.5hrs exc. Lunch) introductory workshop fuses approaches developed from our shared 50+ years professional experience in cross art form performance practice & research, work in professional organisations, community education & group work. Experience practical approaches that will help deepen your capacity for effective collaboration, dialogue and creative expression.

Our workshop focuses on process, emphasizing movement towards resolution of blocks or entanglements and appreciation of alliances and resources, in support of alignment and flow in our energetic, physical and expressive selves.

Seven Ages – and the Dance of Life and Death will be the first theatre production with seven performances.

For Jacques the journey from cradle to grave is fraught with the negative voices of our culture but in our show Jacques finally gets to see the possibility of hope and life-force in the face of certain death. This community project uses music, dance, drama, masks and African drumming to create an entertaining and thought-provoking event for all ages. I have taken inspiration from many sources including Daisaku Ikeda, William Shakespeare, Stephen Jenkinson, Akram Khan and, of course, Hermione Elliott.

Laxmi Kaur is a kirtan musician & singer, song writer. Her concerts weave ancient mantras from various traditions in with her own spirit-inspired lyrical creations. She will be joined on this evening by a wonderful ensemble of East Sussex based musicians: Rowan Sterk on percussion, Prem Nadama on guitar and Shymeoni Blaxland de Lang on violin.

“Music is medicine, and it is my intention to share the magic of these sacred songs and mantras with you as we melt into the naad (sound vibration), elevate our spirits and let our soul soar... So come journey within, deep into the source of your soul-self… and fall into the spaces in between!”

Join us for our spectacular Snailspace Farewell Exhibition – see all 107 Snails together for one last time before they are returned to schools or auctioned off to raise funds for Martlets Hospice. Our Snail space will have a festive feel with refreshments and snailtastic merchandise on sale, so come and join the fun.

Gong and Harp, two of man’s oldest and most transformational instruments, have long been known for their therapeutic and healing abilities.

Combining the vibrational frequencies of both these ancient instruments creates a powerful, synergistic energy and an ethereal journey of meditative sound.

The intention for this two hour sound ceremony is to create a sacred space to connect within, nourish intuition and heart space, explore perception, expand consciousness, follow inner guidance, and celebrate the vibration of life.

Brighton’s all-female a cappella choir will take you on a wintery journey through spine-tingling choral pop arrangements. Expect to hear songs like River by Joni Mitchell, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt, Carol Of The Bells by Mykola Leontovych and more in the beautiful surroundings of the Altar Area at St Augustine’s Centre. At the end of the concert the audience will be invited to join the choir in singing some traditional carols. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Nightstop, a charity providing a safety net for young people at risk of homelessness.

On the eve of Winter Solstice come and join the Brighton & Hove Centre for Spirituality for a rich and special evening of candlelit labyrinth walk, meditation and sound bath, evoking in symbol, simple ritual, poetry, voice and music the movement from darkness to light.

Many spiritual traditions hold this period of the year as a time of waiting in the darkness and looking forward to the return of the light. In the Christian tradition, advent means “the coming” and the anticipation of the Christ light emerging in the world. The evening is an invitation to connect to our inner light, the Divine Spirit, within each of us, which guides us on our life’s journey, especially when the outer world can feel overwhelming and the darkness all too evident. Amidst the busyness of preparation for Christmas take a couple of hours to pause, be quiet and reflect, as it is in silence that we find the gateway to the soul, that deepest part of ourselves.

Blues. Psyche Rock. Soul. Folk Country

The explosive duo features the electrifying award-winning frontwoman Zee Gachette deemed “one to watch” by BBC Radio 2 (drums and acoustic guitar), and guitar prodigy Sebastien Heintz, who effortlessly deliver a fascinating cinematic road trip of sound. Zee’s hypnotic presence, bewitching raspy blue tones, big acoustic guitars and swampy grooves laced with Seb’s dark desert slide, psyche blues guitars and synth make for a beautifully dangerous concoction. From the acoustic sublime, to high octane rock. Sensual, expansive, powerful. The duo’s sound journeys through an intoxicating and experimental mix of Country Blues and Desert Rock.

The duo have already achieved airplay on BBC Radio 2, Resonance FM, Juice FM and Radio Reverb, plus national Australian radio shows with ‘live recordings' and their official debut EP release is out in Spring 2019.
