Thee Online Debating Society

Short History
Debating societies emerged in London in the early eighteenth century, and soon became a prominent fixture of national life. The origins of these societies are not certain in many cases, although by the mid-18th century, London fostered an active debating society culture. Debating topics covered a broad spectrum of topics while the debating societies allowed participants from both genders and all social backgrounds, making them an excellent example of the enlarged public sphere of the Age of Enlightenment. Debating societies were a phenomenon associated with the simultaneous rise of the public sphere, a sphere of discussion separate from traditional authorities and accessible to all people, that acted as a platform for criticism and the development of new ideas and philosophy
Debate is a process that involves formal discussion on a particular topic. In a debate, opposing arguments are put forward to argue for opposing viewpoints. Debate occurs in public meetings, academic institutions, and legislative assemblies, It is a formal type of discussion often with a MODERATOR and an audience, in addition to the debate participants.
This group is for those who enjoy reading, talking and learning(for me the basis of debate), and want to brush up on their ideas and presentation skills. We Have three formats that we use, first format is that we choose a topic/question, and then we ask two members to go away, research the chosen topic/question then come back and each give up to a 10 minute presentation of their response. Then the other members present at the meeting can respectfully question and debate their responses. Second called At The Drop Of A Hat, which is that we pull questions out of a hat which have been previously submitted by debators and then discuss and thirdly a Debator chooses a topic, does a presentation and then we discuss.......I will hasten to add, my reasoning behind this group is not only to develop my own skills, but also to show/learn that it is possible for people to have opposing views and still effectively communicate and move forward together despite differing views. The topics will be varied to suit all tastes and I look forward to many suggetions from the group itself. Hope to see you soon

Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’.
This community group was started in Grays to invite all those who might be interested in learning to meditate and for those who actually want to achieve Yoga. Many are curious as to what meditation or yoga actually is and what's it all about? The meetings aim to provide that insight and know how.
With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required.
The charity offers free bespoke classes that are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous.
The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK.
Sahaja Yoga free meditation classes help attendees to achieve a deep state of peace and spiritual awareness in life. Try Sahaja Yoga meditation classes and see for yourself the improvement to your mental, physical and emotional state. Learn and experience…- Simple meditation techniques.
Guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation.
Tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home.
The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body.
The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.
