Yarn club | HEINMA studio Clapham

We stitch, we yap, and drink tea. Welcome to Yarn Club at HEINMA Studio, where yarn stashes grow and somehow we spend more time chatting than counting stitches.

We have tea, biscuits, and someone always brings more snacks for sharing.

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join. Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session. 📚 SESSION FORMAT: ⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot! 🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance : ◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud ◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook ◾ Working together to translate and understand the text 💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection. ✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose. 📍 LOCATION: Kismet Café ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah. 🎒 What to bring: 📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read 🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*

NEW: Trails & Targets: Axe Throwing! after Relaxed East London Thames Hike

**DESCRIPTION** Join us for a relaxed social hike through some of East London's most interesting green spaces, waterside paths and historic docklands, finishing with an exclusive axe-throwing session overlooking the Thames. We'll begin outside the V&A East in Stratford before making our way through the beautiful landscapes of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, exploring the waterways, bridges and iconic venues left behind from the London 2012 Olympics. From there, we'll continue to Victoria Park, one of London's most loved green spaces, before taking a stroll through the lively Victoria Park Market. We'll stop at a beach-style riverside bar where there's an opportunity to relax, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere before continuing our journey. The route then heads south through the Docklands, passing historic canals, striking modern architecture and impressive waterfront views. We'll follow the Thames Path towards Tower Hamlets/Towhill, enjoying panoramic views across the river as we approach our final destination. ## The Grand Finale: Axe Throwing! Our hike concludes with a one-hour instructor-led axe-throwing experience. ✅ Exclusive lane for our group ✅ Professional instructor provided ✅ Suitable for complete beginners ✅ Friendly competitions and challenges ✅ Food and drinks available to purchase onsite Whether you've thrown an axe before or are giving it a go for the first time, it's a fantastic way to round off the day with plenty of laughs and a little friendly competition. All participants receive a full safety briefing and coaching from our instructors before throwing, and an instructor will be with us throughout the session. All participants are also required to sign a waiver before taking part which I’ll send in due course. **Social media pic of this event previously:** New event **WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO** **Distance: 17km** **Ascent: c.39m** **Estimated Duration 4-5 hours.** **Difficulty: \*[Moderate](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/hike-grade)** **WHAT TO EXPECT - PREVIOUS DAY HIKE REELS** * [2025 SUNSET Seven Sisters Social hike, Sunset Seaford Swim...
