ON OUR RAY-DAR
A new series spotlighting feel-good events, gatherings and experiences designed to help you get out, try something new and meet new people along the way.

Because new connections don’t always happen in loud places.

Sometimes it’s wandering through wetlands on a nature walk, learning a new skill outdoors, or spending a slow day moving, listening and meeting like-minded people.

This month, On Our Ray-dar is spotlighting three London events bringing people together in thoughtful, low-pressure ways:

Elderflower Forage & Nature Walk - On 6th June, community-led wellbeing platform Kinoko hosts a leisurely walk through Hackney Marshes to celebrate the arrival of summer. Led by arts therapist Emily and the Kinoko community, expect elderflower foraging, shared conversation and a grounding afternoon reconnecting with nature, ending at a local pub to swap recipes and stories.

Nature Connection Textile Club - On 8th June, textile sustainability practitioner Steph hosts a guided outdoor workshop in the garden at The Castle Climbing Centre. Organised as a relaxed space for creativity and connection, the evening blends weaving, printing and embroidery with time to slow down, make something with your hands and spend time in one of North London’s hidden green spaces.

A Warmer People Day Party .london - On 13th June, Warmer People, alongside Balance Community, takes over The Bath House in Hackney Wick for a full day of movement, music and wellbeing. Think yoga, meditation, sound baths, saunas, visual projections and a dusk-to-dark set from Rob Mello - all designed to feel immersive, balanced and open, whether you drop in for an hour or stay all day.

Consider this your sign to say yes to something different.
