Huddersfield Literature Festival's event is tomorrow, full details below:




Tom Cutler: 
Keep Clear - My Adventures with Asperger's


Thursday 12 March 6pm
 
   Age guidance 12+ Huddersfield Library, Princess Walk,                                      Huddersfield, HD1 2SU                                                                                                                                             

A wonderfully bittersweet, funnystrange account of living unwittingly with Asperger’s syndrome. Diagnosed aged 56, Tom Cutler finally made sense of his social awkwardness and his weird obsessions with road-sign design, magic tricks, gyroscopes, and Sherlock Holmes.
               Like many with Asperger’s, Tom    possesses great facility with words, and         this shines through his exceptionally               warm, funny and moving memoir.

The Poetry of Mindfulness

EXTRA TICKETS ADDED!

Saturday 28 March 4.30pm-5.30pm
  Small Seeds, 120 New Street, Castlegate, HD1 2UD

                                             Age guidance 16+                                                                                                             
   
Poetry is a powerful and thoughtful way of connecting with the experience of mindfulness. In this session, local mindfulness teachers from Beginner’s Mind present an hour’s selection of poems with a mindful theme, ranging from Rumi to Rose Milligan, stopping off for a spot of Simon Armitage and Nadine Stair (among others) along the way. The poems are interspersed with short talks outlining what mindfulness is, why it works and some fully guided meditation.
All welcome! This session is a good introduction to mindfulness for anyone who has not practiced it before, and will provide a thought-provoking and relaxing hour spent exploring being in the present moment, via the medium of poetry.

Free (booking required – limited numbers)
