Local resident David Spofforth launches new book Heaven’s Moon at Centre

Local resident, Druid, and occasional Tarot reader David Spofforth will be launching his new book, Heaven’s Moon, at the Bonnington Café on Monday June 24th at 6.30pm.
David tells us there’ll be signings and a talk about his book, which is focused on “discovering the path to become your ultimate Divine Self.”
Here’s what David has to say about “Heaven’s Moon: The Astrological Power of White Moon Selena”:
“Shining through from the Spiritual Realms, White Moon Selena illuminates your astrological birth chart with the power of Selene, the Classical Greek Goddess of the Moon. Orbiting the Earth every seven years, this ‘hypothetical second moon’ from Russian Astrology is a portal to a spiritual moonlight that shines on where your highest aspirations in can be found, and how you best strive to reach them.
“Through an exploration of how White Moon Selena is expressed in all twelve Signs of the Zodiac, you can understand your White Moon Selena placement in your birth chart. It shows you which part of your life offers you the path towards your highest purpose. Learn how the transits of the Planets every day can affect your  path of evolution to your Divine Self. Which Planets are helping you?  And what Astrology techniques can you positively employ to overcome the aspects that hinder you? Your Sun Sign shows you who you are…  Your White Moon Selena Sign shows you the highest expression of who you can become.”

UpMarket Market Christmas Fair 2023 – Dec 9th & 10th

In the splendidly revamped Bonnington Café, 15 local creatives and friends of Bonnington Square are returning for a second Christmas Market.

It’s very much a community event and in the spirit of ‘buy local’ – and is pulled together by local resident Lulu Boden, a jewellery maker in her spare time. Taking place on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th December from 11am to 4pm each day, do look out for our new crafters and highlights this year.

The ever-popular Tarot card readings are on Saturday in the Middle Room with David Spofforth. Also, on Saturday in the Centre, Chiara Pedrazzi is offering mini sessions of craniosacral therapy, pranic healing and Reiki – all by by donation. The day will end serenely at 5pm sharp with a Gong Bath led by Jo Culf in the Top Room (£10). Bring a rug to stay toasty, although the heating will be on!

On Sunday the Café will again buzz from 11am to 4pm with 15 assorted stalls featuring the Chocolate Detective; Elniovoe’s elegant African fabric bags; Jodie Boyd’s natural products from Neals Yards Remedies; fine silver jewellery from Tales of the Earth; and even knitwear made in the Square by Sandra Roe and her sister. Plus new stall holder Lucy Bond will be selling candles, melts and stocking fillers.

Rita Keegan (pictured at last year’s market) also returns with her pearly jewellery – and her long-time friend Mary Jeremiah is selling her zesty hot stuff sauces. This event also showcases great artists: Beth Higgins’ vibrant Xmas cards, and Gianinna Delphino’s individually handmade sketchbooks. And Jo Gibbs is currently displaying her ‘Tunnocked’ scallops, jewellery and eco art in the Café. You’ll also find Tess Stone showcasing prints and cards; and the famous ‘Good Vibes’ silk screen print by Chris Coleman is on sale. Plus there will be vintage and more!
