Dear Friends,
We'd like to renew the invite to tomorrow's Survivors Performances at St Clements Hospital, Mile End. Time will be between 2.00 - 4.00 pm in the John Denham room at St Clements Hospital.
Allow extra time to visit the art exhibition around the building and benefit from a few minutes of light therapy room.
Please note that some seats of the John Denham room have been reserved for people with mobility issues, but there is plenty of space for those able to stand as well.
Monday the 16th there will be the last monthly meeting for FEEL. Meet between 6.30 and 8.30 pm at LARC, 62 Fieldgate Street, Whitechapel E1 1ES. There will be a discussion on a possible event at the Kingsley Hall next February.
For those of you that use Facebook I sadly must inform you that FEEL's profile and its whole data and collections of the past few years of activity is not longer available. I am very sadden for the accident, as it now seems everything is been wiped out. This are the challenges with tech and the virtual world sometimes.
Luckily most of the photos are still stored in my hard drive and at some point will be available to access in a more secure portal. And this blog saved a bit of our history!
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

December Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As the busiest time of the year approaches I'd like to share a few events to keep you away from mad shops/shopaholics.
The Eastside Community Heritage are having an event displaying "Portraits from St. Clements" on the 9th December. Meet just before 2pm by the hospital front gates for exact directions.
Eastbeat is hosting a new event at the Kingsley Hall next Tuesday the 10th, from 6.45-9.30pm, with music and poetry. The 3 Bees Cafe will be open from 4-7pm, however you can BYO www.eastbeat.org
The Winter Shuffle festival has started on Thursday, giving the chance to access the old St Clements Hospital grounds up to the 15th of December. There is some very amazing art displayed in a group show across the Victorian building. I highly recommend visiting the light therapy room to counteract the S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and an immediate mood boost. I have seen some radiant smiles, while remaining seated there just for a few minutes.
Please note that some events are ticketed, but there is also plenty to do free of charge accessible to the whole family. Check the programme: www.shufflefestival.com
Survivors flags will be high up on Saturday the 14th in the John Denham room (upstairs in the front building of St Clements, renamed the Living Room for the festival).
The remarkable Bobby Baker will perform "Mad Gyms and Kitchens" at 12pm. (First show is on Friday the 13th, 5.30-7.00 pm). Looking forward to see her in close-up action www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIbzhmljz_k
From 2-4pm, there will be a cozy poetry and performance session with a Survivors open mic and local storytellers warming up the air. Please note that there is a ticketed system due to the limitate space. Reserve your seats here www.tickettailor.com/all-tickets/2749/eb4c
A brief reminder is that St Clements is a derelict building: accessibility is poor due to its many stairs, only the Cinema and ground floor are fully accessible; there's only portable festival-like cabin toilets; the site has scarce insulation, no double glazing... Be patient and understanding. Make sure you wrap up well and bring your warmth to share, ready for a special afternoon together.
Wishing you a warm weekend.
