The band will be accompanied by very special guests and nationally renowned string and brass players - Mike Nowland, Mathias Svensson, Caroline Bodimead, Kate Scrivens, Laurie Dempsey, Hannah Paterson, Julian Turner, Andy Clennell & Chris Beagles. NOTE - We believe that the arts have both the potential and responsibility to support the strengthening of communities and in actively fighting against injustices that provide a select few in society opportunities that should be accessible to everyone. We are constantly pushing ourselves to find new ways to collaborate with individuals and communities across the Midlands in seeing how we can develop projects that aren’t just artistically enjoyable but that enable space for reflection on how to make our communities more open, safe and without prejudice. Because of this, we do not want to put any financial barriers between our work and our audiences - if you find this is the case, please email us on chris@letmeinpresents.co.uk and we can discuss alternative ticketing arrangements to enable you to come to the event if you wish to. FAQs When do doors open? Doors will open 45 minutes before the music begins, meaning they will open at 6.45pm. This will give you ample time to come into the space, find your seat and relax before the music begins at 7.30pm. What are the stage times? There is no support act, so the music will begin at 7.30pm sharp. There will be two sets with a 20 minute interval, with the event finishing around 10.15pm. Will there be strobes/haze/flashing lights? Yes, there will be strobes and flashing lights throughout the performance, so we recommend that this production is not suitable for those with epilepsy or that struggle with strobes and flashing lighting. Haze will be used where possible, venue permitting. What age is the performance suitable for? This performance is suitable for all ages, however, there are some intense lighting and sound moments throughout the evening, and we would recommend parental discretion. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (18+). What are the seating arrangements? When you book your tickets, you can select which section you would like of unreserved seating. This gives you first-come-first-served access to that section of seating and does not guaratee you a particular seat. We will ensure that all parties are sat together. Is there disabled access? It is incredibly important to us that our performances are accessible to everyone that wants to come - therefore, we have ensured that An Evening of is accessible to all. We recognise that not all accessibility is visible, therefore we have separated ticketing into two bands - Accessible and Wheelchair Accessible. Please ensure you book the specific ticket for your needs, this way we can make sure we have ample staff and space to make sure you are all as comfortable as possible. From here, our staff will ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. Please note that companion tickets are free of charge, when purchased with an Accessible Ticket. What is the view like in the "restricted view" section? The restricted views seats are at the sides of the main nave, and can range from a decent view to being behind a pillar. These are unreserved, so you can end up getting a great spot if you arrive early, however, the price reflects the inconsistency of these views. Will there be refreshments on site? There will be an affordable selection of refreshments being sold on site, and you are encouraged to buy from the on site bar to help the Cathedral continue the community engagement work it does. Will there be parking on site? There are various car parks nearby to the venue, including city centre parking. Will there be toilets on site? Yes, there are toilets on site. What if I need more information? Feel free to email Chris at chris@letmeinpresents.co.uk with any questions you may have. We are always happy to help and our door is always open!

In our first circle, we'll be exploring the powerful archetype of Inanna , the Sumerian Queen of Heaven and Earth.

By exploring these archetypes, we: Recognize divine qualities within ourselves Access forgotten wisdom and intuition Find new perspectives on our personal challenges Expand our understanding of what it means to be a woman Connect to something larger than ourselves Who Is This For? This circle welcomes all who identify as women and are curious about exploring feminine wisdom through mythology.

For over 25 years, I've dedicated myself to understanding how our bodies hold both our deepest tensions and their own innate wisdom for healing. My path began with traditional yoga teaching, but something always felt incomplete. Despite my training, I noticed my own body stubbornly holding tension, particularly around my breath and diaphragm. It wasn't until a profound experience with Primitive Reflex integration that I discovered what was missing. This revelation transformed not only my personal experience of anxiety but also my entire approach to helping women. I discovered that true healing isn't about managing symptoms but about helping the body remember its natural state of calm—much like the goddesses remember their divine nature throughout their mythic journeys. What makes my approach to the Goddess Circles unique is the integration of ancient wisdom with embodied understanding—honouring both the archetypal and the physical aspects of feminine healing. I believe that when we work with these powerful goddess archetypes, we not only connect with their stories but also reconnect with our own true essence. Today, I help women worldwide break free from limiting patterns so they can embrace their full potential with confidence and joy. These Goddess Circles extend beyond storytelling to a profound remembering—guiding each woman back to the divine feminine wisdom that has always lived within her. I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation, where the ancient goddesses become mirrors for our modern lives, and where mythology becomes a pathway to remembering your own sacred nature. Future Circles This is the first in a series of Goddess Circles. Future dates will explore other powerful feminine archetypes including: Lakshmi, Isis, Mary Madgalene, Pele, Bridget and more Reserve your place now to begin this journey of feminine wisdom, connection, and self-discovery.
