About us
Are you looking for more fun and doing activities which give you a sense of adventure.
Do you feel as if there are lots of cool things to do in London and looking to do it with more like minded people.
This Meetup is for you if:
- You want to do more things out of your comfort zone of a weekend
- Meet other like minded people wanting to do the same
- Cross cool things off your bucket list which you can do in London
What We Will do at Our Events
We will aim to do an activity event on a weekly basis and aim to do something different each time.
To give you an idea of Activities Meetup Events I have organised in the past: Escape Rooms, Salt Cave, Floatation Tank, Go Ape, Skydive, Hot Yoga, Bike Rides, Nature Walks, Ice Skating, Bowling, Theme Parks, Bouldering, Zipline, Boxing, Bungee Jumps. As well as activities in Europe and Ski Trips.
We will look to focus on a traffic Light System of activities mostly green, with occasional amber and red. Examples:
Green - Bowling, Escape Rooms, Yoga
Amber - Roller Disco, Rock Climbing, High Intensity Training.
Red - Skydive, Bungee Jump, Ice Bath, Tough Mudder
We welcome people's ideas for activities. I will list some on the group without a scheduled date to gather interest, and set a date weekly.
Look forward to meeting you all,
Chris

Sweatlodge and Fire Ceremony! (6 X SPOTS LEFT)
Berkeley Farm Project, Berkeley Farm Manor Rd, Lambourne End, Romford RM4 1NH, UK, Lambourne End, GBHey All, we are going to do a Sweatlodge for the Meetup group, will be the first time at: Berkeley Farm, Hainault. We already have someone who can organise and run it for us - this is on behalf of the Aho company:
https://www.aho.community/product-page/inipi-sweatlodge-ceremony-weekend-with-joseph-christlow-sat-10th-sun-11th-oct
These are rare experiences, but this could be a life changing experience for those who decide to do it! They are hard to organise and hard to build and find the land so a unique opportunity particularly around London area!
The experience is generally around 3-4 hours in the Sweatlodge and it will be 10am - 5pm: a chance to meet everyone and be briefed about what will happen as well.
Sweatlodge was traditionally done by indigenous people to connect more with nature, restore balance in life, and to come out more purified!
Structure
We meet at 10am, and as a group, organise the stones and wood for the fire and cover the lodge, light the fire which takes 2 hours to heat the stones before we go in. During that time Joe will explain the Inipi process and sing traditional lakoto songs. Then we go in. It's 4 rounds, each time more stones come into the lodge making it hotter each time. You can leave between rounds but its advised to stay in. The 4 rounds last a few hours, so we may come out around 3pm, rest, and share, eat fruit and then leave at 5pm.Men wear shorts and women, sarong or swimsuit. A cold shower is welcomed after the lodge, bring warm clothing.

This ceremony is ancient and one of re-birth. Only those who walk the red road (chankuluta) spiritual path of the lakota can run this ceremony with the proper instructions and guidance of elders.
