GLASGOW WOMEN'S LIBRARY ~ AUCTION OF PLEASURES!
Glasgow Women's Library will open the doors to its new home at the city's prestigious Mitchell Library later this month, launching the next stage of a major fundraising drive to get the premises fit-for-purpose. To celebrate the move - and to help raise the vital funds needed for their new home's restoration - the Women's Library is holding an Auction of Pleasures at St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow, on September 17, where guests will have the chance to bid on adventures and treasures that money can't usually buy.

These include: dinner aboard a yacht owned by Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon; having a bespoke garment knitted for you from a selection of vintage patterns from the Women's Library archive; and artworks by groundbreaking women artists.

The Auction of Pleasures takes place at St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow
Friday September 17, 6pm to 11pm.
Tickets cost £45 per person or £400 per table (10 people).

Venue: Dragon’s Hall in Covent Garden, London

This unique hands-on workshop will give participants a chance to explore the creative process using drawing as a tool to free the hand and mind.

You will emerge with a clearer sense of how to overcome creative blocks, how to attract new ideas and how to enter the free flow of full creative expression in whatever way they choose. This workshop is for everyone who wishes to bring more creativity into their lives.

WHAT IS YOGA, REALLY?
Date: 13th November 2010
Nowadays many people have come to see yoga as yet another exercise system, where you might also do a bit of breathwork. This workshop will introduce you to, or remind you of, what yoga really is, i.e., an ancient system which works on a physical, mental and spiritual level. If you wish to, you can make yoga a bigger part of your life, rather than just a weekly exercise slot in your diary.

The workshop cost is £85 (usual price £145).
