Conscious Cafe: Secrets, Lies and the Awkward Truth

Conscious Cafe is back at The Quaker Centre on Tuesday 17 November, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. The theme for this one is Secrets, Lies and the Awkward Truth, which should give you a fair idea of the kind of ground the conversation will cover. If you've never been, it's a not-for-profit community that holds a friendly, welcoming space to slow down, share openly and explore life's deeper questions without judgement.

The Milton Keynes group is run by Dawn Griffith, an alternative therapist and workshop facilitator whose work centres on the power of language, belief and emotional well-being. The gatherings meet in person on the third Tuesday of each month, so this is part of a regular cycle rather than a one-off. Past themes have touched on boundaries, inner peace, the stories we tell ourselves, forgiveness, past lives, manifestation and creativity, so the focus shifts every time.

It's a low-pressure way to spend an evening if you're in the mood for a bit of honest conversation. The session runs from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at The Quaker Centre, 1 Oakley Gardens, Downhead Park, MK15 9BH, and entry is £7.
