Escape Hunt: Journey to Atlantis

We are going to the escape room 'Journey to Atlantis' at Escape Hunt. Step aboard the mighty Nautilus submarine on its journey to the fabled city of Atlantis. A recent attack from a mysterious foe has left the ship severely damaged, and Captain Nemo badly injured. Taking to the helm, you have just 60 minutes to steer the ship to sanctuary and locate Atlantis. If you fail, Atlantis may go undiscovered for another two thousand years. ([Website](https://escapehunt.com/uk/london-oxford-street/games/journey-to-atlantis)) After the game, we could have brunch at Tampopo Fitzrovia nearby. Please pay £33, £3 for admin fee and £30 for the ticket. There will be no refunds but you could sell your ticket to another member if no longer able to attend.

Let's play Croquet!

Duckpin Bowling @ Hollywood Bowl (Uxbridge)

Time for another type of bowling event - introducing Duckpin Bowling! This will be at the Hollywood Bowl in Uxbridge as only a few branches do this type of bowling. Will be playing 2 games of duckpin bowling at the price of £11.55 per person. Payment will be required shortly after RSVP as I have to book you into the lane and as we get nearer the price might rise. Here's more information on duckpin bowling; Featuring smaller, lightweight balls with no finger holes and shorter, squatter pins, duckpin bowling is perfect for all ages and skill levels. I've personally never tried this before, so I'm looking forward to doing so with those of you who come!

Shuffleboard @ Boom Battle Bar (Watford)

Another shuffleboard event is here! Here's the details: We'll meet up outside Boom Battle Bar (located in the Harlequin) at 20:30. We'll head inside and play 55 minutes of Shuffleboard from 20:45 until 21:40. I'll make RSVPs free to sign up but I will ask for payment ahead of time to secure your place. It costs £9 each.

Acting & Scene Study

Join us for a practical acting workshop that delves into scene analysis and character exploration. Many actors rush to performance — but skipping scene analysis and proper character work can mean missing the heart of a scene. In this session, we will explore the essential (and often overlooked) step of breaking down a scene, then getting on your feet and going through a series of exercises. You will then apply what you've learned - bringing the scene to life through performance which can be taped on the phone in class. A scene will be sent a day in advance. Through practical tools, and guided exercises, we’ll help you uncover what drives each character, different ways to deliver the scene and how thoughtful analysis leads to truthful, compelling choices. Whether you’re an actor, writer, or director, this workshop will give you a deeper understanding of story, sharpen your interpretive skills, and elevate your creative work.

Summer social drinks for new and existing members

Join us for a relaxed social evening for our hiking community! Whether you’ve joined us on past walks, or are simply curious about coming along, this is a great chance to meet fellow hikers and group leaders in a friendly setting. Catch up with people you’ve shared the trail with, swap stories and welcome new faces who are thinking about joining future hikes. We’ve reserved a private area upstairs in a welcoming pub, just a short walk from Waterloo Station. Food and drinks will be available, with a special discount on food for our group, so come along, unwind and enjoy a sociable evening with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. **Location**: Upstairs in The Thirsty Bear https://maps.app.goo.gl/2DSmSpnZy9Uu1m9s9 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/AAAhiking) \| [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AAAHikingUK/reviews) \| [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@aaahiking) \| [Trip Adviser](https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186338-d19994843-Reviews-AAA_Hiking_Outdoor_Group-London_England.html) \| [TicTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@aaahiking) \| [Website](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/)

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic.

June 11-16 Eastern Sardinia, Famous beaches, Easy walks, Culture, Snorkelling

AAA Hiking are excited to announce our second trip to this stunning island! **We invite you to explore the best beaches in Italy, easy-moderate scenic hikes of 5-8 km with coastal views and 360-degree summits, unique Sardinian culture, and tasty local food!** The middle of June is an ideal time for the trip when the sea is already warm, the air is not too hot for walking, and the tourist boats are running to the famous beaches. Some of them are not easy to reach on foot unless you hike for a long time on the rocky limestone terrain. **[Here are the October 2025 event photos](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1572050270902890&type=3)** **Discover the Untamed Beauty of Eastern Sardinia with AAA Hiking.** Stretching for kilometres along the turquoise embrace of the Mediterranean, the eastern coast of Sardinia is a breathtaking blend of golden cliffs and secluded, low-lying beaches. Here, nature reigns supreme. In the heart of the Supramonte mountains, goats, sheep, donkeys, and wild boar roam freely through forests of strawberry trees, holly oaks, and ancient oaks. Overhead, the majestic royal eagle soars, nesting on the highest peaks and guarding this pristine paradise. We will be exploring this beauty on foot and by boat. **HIGHLIGHTS** • Experience the beauty of the **National Park of the Bay of Orosei and Gennargentu**, its coastline, when the sea is warm, and the air is about 25-27 °C. • Easy/Moderate **Coastal Walks**, around 5-8 km a day, inhaling a **healing mix of sea and juniper trees' air**. • A new destination, a **tailor-made event**, based in Cala Ganone town, a getaway for the boat trips. • **Experienced Hike Leaders, who pre-walked the routes**. • Optional **water activities**: SUP, sea kayaking, open sea swimming, snorkelling or even scuba diving if you dare. • An optional boat trip to **the most charming and evocative coves and beaches in the Gulf of Orosei**, observing the splendour of **Cala Goloritzé**, a rocky, dazzling turquoise bay. Stopping and swimming at **Cala Luna** and others. • Visit the **largest ethnographic park-museum** in Sardinia - The S'Abba Frisca (fresh water), with its farm, where you'll meet the various animals that inhabit the park. • Dinner at **Nuraghe Mannu Farmhouse**, **traditional Sardinian 4-course menu** with wine and mineral water (optional, not included) **All questions to** *[aaalondongroup@yahoo.co.uk](mailto:aaalondongroup@yahoo.co.uk)* Organisers took all the photos during their exploration. **STAY INFORMED** **[Join the AAA Hiking Mailing List for our Special Offers.](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/newsletter-signup)** **ITINERARY** The event starts on Thursday, 11 June, at the Olbia airport at 11:30 and finishes there on Tuesday, 16 June, at 17:30. The ancient Greeks called it **olbìa - ‘happiness’**. It is the gateway to the island and the driving force behind the economy of the Gallura area. Many flights arrive there, and it is a good town to stay in and explore before or after the trip. After the pick-up, we will take you to the Porto Taverna beach for your first swim and lunch. There is a high chance you may see flamingos there in the freshwater lakes, located close to the beach. We will make our way to the accommodation in Cala Ganone in the afternoon. The exact itinerary of the following days features the highlights listed above and will be shared with attendees closer to the day. Every day is planned with care and adjusted according to the most recent weather forecast. **LOCATION** We will be based in Cala Gonone, a seaside town, rising up from the Golfo di Orosei. It is located on a steep hill at the foot of the extinct volcano Codula Manna and slopes down to the gulf. From here you can go on to discover numerous beautiful bays, such as Cala Ziu Martine, Cala Fuili, Cala Cartoe and Cala Luna, a beautiful pale blue bay dominated by steep, lunar grey rock walls. Cala Luna is one of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting beaches. Graced with a beach of almost powdery sand and surrounded by blooming oleander trees, it was the setting for the Lina Wertmüller cult **film *Swept Away***. We can immerse ourselves in the idyllic peace of Cala Luna, marvel at the wild nature of Cala Mariolu, and observe the crystal-clear waters of Cala Goloritzé. **WHAT TO EXPECT** AAA has hosted Hiking trips for over 17 years. We have a wealth of experience that will ensure you enjoy great hikes and food.

Kundalini Activation (90 min session)

Energetic activation to unlock your Inner Power, release emotional blocks, and reconnect with your most authentic self. Awaken Your Inner Power – Kundalini Activation Group Session Are you ready to reconnect with your essence and awaken the energy that already lives within you? Join us for a transformative Kundalini Activation experience facilitated by Max Aroza (Maximus Method) and Angie Toniollo (Andean Healing). **Follow all the news in the WhatsApp Group - London:** https://chat.whatsapp.com/DqzbbcLJ0QJ87LUW9KPS2y Kundalini Activation is a surrender-based energetic practice that gently awakens the life force within you. Unlike breathwork, yoga, meditation, or other self-generated techniques, there is nothing you need to do, control, or learn. You simply lie down, relax, close your eyes, and allow your own energy to respond. Through the transmission of Kundalini energy and consciousness frequencies, this process can support emotional release, nervous system regulation, expanded awareness, deeper self-connection, and inner clarity. Every journey is unique. Some people experience movement, emotion, energy flowing through the body, visions, insights, or deep states of peace. Others experience subtle shifts, stillness, relaxation, or simply a sense of coming home to themselves. There is no right or wrong experience. The real transformation often begins after the session, through greater clarity, self-trust, emotional balance, and a deeper connection with life. ✨ What this practice may support: • Emotional release and energetic clearing • Expanded awareness and intuition • Greater inner peace and presence • Nervous system regulation • Spiritual growth and self-discovery • A deeper connection with yourself No previous experience is required. Whether this is your first encounter with energy work or part of your ongoing spiritual journey, you are welcome exactly as you are. 📍 Event Details Date: 20 June 2026 Location: EVOKE - Seven Sisters (London) Format: In-person Group Session **Energy Exchange:** £44 **Early Bird:** £33 (limited availability) ✨ Special Offer Book 5 sessions and receive 1 additional session free. 🌱 A gentle note of care Kundalini Activation is a subtle yet powerful energetic process.
