A space for music, food, faith and the kind of conversations that stay with you. Our next Soul Conversations is on 29 October, as we celebrate and honour our community builders who lifted up the Black community when doors were closed on them.

Let’s come together for Black History Month.

When art meets important conversations, something shifts. During our last Soul Conversations, Dave Neita paid a tribute to James Baldwin, as we gathered to write a letter to the next generation. A reminder that art can help us ask difficult questions, hold space for one another and help reflect on what we want to pass on.

đź“Ś Join us on 29 October for our next Soul Conversations, as we mark Black History Month with an evening centred on Honouring Our Communities.

Come for the conversation. Stay for the community. ❤️

What would you write to the ones coming after you?
That was the question at the heart of this month’s Soul Conversations: Vespers, as we sat with James Baldwin’s letter to his nephew in The Fire Next Time and remembered the voices who have carried that fire before us. Then we spoke of the letter ourselves to those who comes after us.
Swipe through for glimpses of the evening: the words, the music, the table and the letters we began together. Thank you for filling the room. There is always a seat here for you.
 
See you at the next one on 29 October at 7 PM at St James The Great
