Spiritual Speak-up Experience

Speed Speaking and Social



2.5 hours Experience size 10 to 20 guests       Free

Let's share about spirituality, feelings, words of wisdom, and emotions, tarot cards, current moods, animal spirits (or simply animals we love), and mostly, our presence, our energy.
We are in the function room of a pub, the environment is cosy and beautiful.
The evening will start with a Speed Speaking session. You are free to take part or sit as a listener.
Speed Speaking is an exciting practise, initially designed to train communication skills and build confidence. To me, it is first and foremost a way to connect authentically with other people.
We sit in half a circle. I, Jean-Marc, as a facilitator, propose easy topics. Everyone in turn stands up in front of the group and talks for a very short time (30 seconds, one or two minutes maximum). Then you get feedback and suggestions about how you can improve your delivery.
Speed Speaking sessions foster warmth and emotional connections.
After the session, social, informal, and entirely relaxed times!
The purpose of this group is to create opportunities to socialise with like-minded people. You don't have to be knowledgeable and experienced to come along.
What you'll get
A wonderful time
Knowledge required
None.
What to bring
An open mind and a smile

I am storyteller. (Storytelling is a performing art) When I came to London in 2008 I joined a Toastmaster Club to train talking to audiences in English. I created my own brand of public speaking workshops which I called 'Speed Public Speaking'.
Recently I remember how much I loved the atmosphere of the sessions I led. More than confidence building and public speaking, we were sharing our humanity in a more authentic way than happens in ordinary settings. I re created a meetup called speed speaking.
Back in time. I was a storyteller. One day I decided to become an astrologer. Both storytelling and astrology make a wide use of symbols and metaphors. Both are arts of communication. I only speak occasionally about this in the speed speaking sessions. Everyone is welcome, and people with a spiritual mindset who wish to share will feel comfortable.
