Join us for an informal evening of discovery and discussion, with Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, author and founder of Colonna Coffee, on variety of the scientific research projects he has been involved in across the coffee industry. Maxwell began collaborating with scientists and academia in 2014, teaming up with Christopher H. Hendon who was at the University of Bath at the time. Together, they published a paper on waters impact on coffee extraction and their book 'Water for Coffee'. This was followed with research on grinding at different temperatures, sensory studies and life cycle studies, among others. Coffee is a field where scientific understanding can be applied very successfully, but it is also problematic as it is a subjective field. Scientifically we often study a phenomenon, and then the coffee industry takes this understanding and makes its mind up regarding what is good. Join the discussion as we explore how coffee ends up being a rabbit hole for many scientifically minded people as each cup of coffee is a combination of many changing variables, making it a more challenging subject to comprehensively understand than it may appear! Maxwell Dashwood's fascination with coffee began in Melbourne, Australia, in 2007. Returning to the UK, he co-managed a coffee events company and opened Colonna & Small's, a Bath-based coffee shop with a focus on curated, changing coffee menus.An acclaimed figure in the industry, Maxwell is a three-time winner of the UK Barista Championships and has co-authored academic papers on coffee. He's also the co-author of "Water For Coffee," a study on the impact of water on coffee taste, and "The Coffee Dictionary," an accessible guide to coffee terminology. His most recent book, "The Business of Specialty Coffee," combines his business experiences with an exploration of the coffee supply chain. SWINDON SCIENCE CAFE Science Cafes are an informal opportunity to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Rather than a long lecture, you can expect a lively, two-way conversation with a researcher - over a drink or two! Everyone is welcome to come and express their views or just enjoy a drink and listen. No scientific knowledge is needed to take part - just bring your curiosity, and maybe your own bottle of choice.

I would like to share some of the ways that we can sensitively work with in this area with a confidence that will support our clients to find their light again and move forward with their lives in a more positive way. We will look at the different forms of sexual abuse, the effects and the impact it has on the client and their nervous system. We will look at the nuances of working with this particular devastating type of trauma and things to take into account which can be helpful for your client. We will also cover pre-trial therapy and how you can support clients who are going through court cases in relation to the abuse. And most importantly, we will look at ways to support ourselves as counsellors when working with this subject matter to ensure that we are fully resourced and avoid any vicarious trauma. About the Speaker: Caroline is a UKCP Registered Child & Adolescent & Adult Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor specialising in trauma. Caroline was the Child Clinical Lead for Trust House Reading (a centre for counselling and giving advice to people who have been affected by sexual abuse) where she helped to grow the service, trained counsellors to work with this client group and supervised her team. Caroline is passionate about working in the field of trauma and draws on her different modalities of Integrative Creative Art & Play therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy to help clients find their own healing path towards a more balanced and positive way of being. Caroline consults with children, young people and adults in her practice. As well as lecturing on the L6 Postgraduate Diploma in Trauma Counselling course at Willows, Caroline now works in Private Practice, room based and out in nature, with her small herd of horses using the natural surroundings to help bring clients back to self-regulation, inner strength and ultimately processing the trauma when they are ready. With this work, Caroline takes self-care very seriously so she can continue this important work for the longevity.
