Build Back Better Bodies Workshops with Kate Shemirani Sunday 13th July 2025

Build Back Better Bodies Workshops with Kate Shemirani
6 WORKSHOPS to help you be the healthiest version of yourself you can be!
WORKSHOP DATES:
9th February – Fabulous Fats
Are all fats created equal? Absolutely not!
The membranes of our cells are made from the fats that we eat. The GOOD fats will pull oxygen to the cell. And the BAD fats are going to repel it away from the cell and set up a fire….INFLAMMATION.
Right there is pain, suffering and the beginning of cellular dysfunction and all disease!
So GOOD fats are essential for our cell membranes and overall health.
Why do you need to learn more? It is simple! When we understand, we are more likely to implement changes in our own diet and that of our families.
Do you want to be the best version of yourself and full of vitality?
9th March – Let There Be Light
Natural light is a fundamental component of overall health and well-being. It plays a crucial role in vitamin D synthesis, circadian rhythm regulation, and and making chemicals within the body that cannot be made any other way. Lack of natural light will lead to disease. But not all light is created equal.
Blue light is dangerous and harmful to the body and we are being exposed to blue light everywhere all day and all night.

Blue light from LED screens, street lights, car lights, home lights disrupt sleep , suppresses melatonin, leads to obesity and metabolic disorders, causes eye strain, retinal damage, macular degeneration, metabolic issues, skin aging, and mental health concerns.

So why are we having all incandescent lights replaced with LED and during daylight hours too if it will destroy us? What should we do?

Regain your health and vitality with Kate Shemirani.

20th April – Is Carnivore and Keto a Death Sentence?
The ketogenic (keto) diet and plant-based diet are two popular approaches to nutrition, each with strong advocates and critics.
The keto diet emphasizes high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate intake, which forces the body into ketosis, burning fat for energy instead of glucose. Supporters argue this can lead to rapid weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and better brain function. However, critics warn of potential risks, including nutrient deficiencies, increased LDL cholesterol, and potential strain on the kidneys and liver.
On the other hand, a plant-based diet, which focuses on fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while minimizing or eliminating animal products, is praised for reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It provides high fiber and essential phytonutrients that support overall health. Yet, opponents argue that plant-based diets may lead to protein, B12, iron, and omega-3 deficiencies if not carefully planned.
We are discussing these diets because they represent two vastly different nutritional philosophies that claim to optimize health. Some individuals thrive on one while struggling on the other, raising questions about personalised nutrition.
Both can restore health when properly structured but may also contribute to disease if unbalanced or lacking key nutrients.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each allows for informed choices tailored to individual health needs.
This discussion is essential in navigating dietary trends and ensuring long-term well-being through informed decisions rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
11th May – Sexual Healing
Let’s Talk About What You’re Not Talking About
Is the spark gone? Libido on holiday? Painful sex, low drive, or the dreaded ‘not tonight’? Newsflash: it’s not just “getting older” – it’s your body begging for attention! In this juicy session, Kate dives deep (but tastefully!) into why sex shouldn’t hurt, disappear, or become a memory. From hormone disruption to hidden toxicity, it’s time to reclaim your pleasure and vitality. Your ancestors were having babies at 85 – what’s your excuse?

8th June – Your Body is Talking! Are you Listening?
Rashes, reflux, fatigue, weird tingles, and moods that swing harder than the 70s disco scene – your body’s not broken, it’s just trying to talk. Before you rush off for the 57th scan and another test with a name longer than your arm, come learn what your symptoms are really saying. Because the truth is: the healing starts long before the doctor’s office – if you know how to read the signs.
13th July – Dr Thyself! The Home Medicine Cabinet
You Are the Medicine
Forget the prescription pad and the side-effect roulette. It’s time to dust off the ancient wisdom – plants, food, detox, movement, breath, and yes, even a little faith. Kate will take you on a journey of DIY healing where Big Pharma takes a back seat and Mother Nature rides shotgun. This is medicine without a marketing team – and it actually works.

About Andrew
Politics Is No Longer About Right And Left
It's About Right And Wrong
As the former Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire from 2010 to 2024, I dedicated my career to serving the people with unwavering commitment. For most of my tenure, I represented the Conservative and Unionist Party, guided by my lifelong belief in low taxes, minimal government interference, and individual freedom to enable people to achieve their dreams and full potential. I have always maintained that the state’s role should be limited to providing a safe environment, secure borders, and efficient public services, allowing the people to thrive.
The Conservatives actions squandered billions of public funding and opened our borders to unchecked illegal immigration, funded by ever-increasing taxes reek of socialism. Their policies, driven by a bizarre groupthink, justify excessive regulation and taxation that threaten our way of life.
Voting for them is no different from supporting Labour, whose leadership is equally as catastrophic.
I now proudly stand as an Independent. A choice I embrace, as the Conservative Party has abandoned the values I cherish. They have imposed the highest tax burden since World War II, confined people to their homes for months in the early 2020s under bureaucratic directives, and coerced unwanted medical interventions, including MRNA gene therapies.
While in Parliament, I exposed the dangers of these horrific therapies and fought tirelessly to protect the vulnerable, successfully halting their administration to healthy children under five. I continue to campaign for the suspension of these treatments in both humans and animals.
My principles remain steadfast and I feel I deeply alarmed that the leadership of all the major political parties, including Nigel Farage’s Reform, are shackled to the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030. Nigel’s grip on Reform is now swinging swiftly to the left, aligning with the newest iteration of the old regime, betraying the hopes of those who sought a true alternative.
As a servant of the People of Great Britain’s, I stand resolute against betrayal, global greed, and corruption. I am unwavering in my commitment to defending freedom of speech and securing our borders against illegal entry without exception. I continue to champion the vulnerable, giving a voice to those who need it most, and I will not rest in my pursuit of justice and truth.
This fight transcends traditional right-versus-left politics—it is a battle of right versus wrong. I remain dedicated to fighting for a free, secure, and prosperous Britain, where the people’s voices are heard, and their rights are upheld.
Controlled by nobody. Representing everybody.

Electroculture Educational and Practical Workshop Saturday 7th March 2026
2026-03-07 10:00 - 18:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Electroculture Educational Two-Part Workshop Saturday 7th March 2026.
Online theory will be live on Feb 25th 6pm to 9pm, recording available and emailed to all attendees.
Step into this two-part theoretical and practical workshop designed and led from the experts who have immersed themselves in the practical, real-world application of Electroculture.
This workshop brings together the most impactful insights, refined methods, and proven approaches developed through extensive hands-on experience and continuous learning.
You will learn that Electroculture is NOT a copper wire wrapped around a stick and in fact brings in the all-important and missing top soil electro-magnetic field. Life in the top soil won’t be maintained without an electro-magnetic field to enable its self-regeneration. Think of it like the Schumann resonance equivalent but for the soil.
Electroculture is 100% complimentary to other natural gardening/farming methods such as Biodynamics, Permaculture, Hugelkultur (mound culture).
You’ll gain clear, structured guidance so that you can correctly install Electroculture yourself. Expect a workshop that blends strategic understanding with practical tools you can apply immediately-whether you’re an experienced grower or just starting out.
Participants consistently describe this learning experience as focused, engaging, and transformative with insights into the importance of additional complimentary subjects such as Geotherapy, Sacred Geometry and ways to help improve your soil, all of which will benefit your Electroculture installation.
To maintain a high-quality, interactive environment, spaces are intentionally limited. If you’re ready to learn from experts who have deeply studied this field and know how to translate that knowledge into meaningful results, secure your place today.
Itinerary
Wednesday 25th February 6pm to 9pm – Online via Zoom
Part 1: ZOOM EDUCATIONAL THEORY LESSON (recording available)
Saturday 7th March 10am to 4pm – Hands on Practical at HOPE (nb: Sunday open once Saturday is fully booked).

About Electroculture
Electroculture is the understanding and application of the Earth’s natural electrical, magnetic and atmospheric energies to support plant growth, soil vitality and ecosystem balance.
Long before chemical fertilisers and industrial agriculture, farmers, scientists and inventors observed that plants respond profoundly to subtle energetic forces. From atmospheric electricity and telluric currents to cosmic and solar influences, life on Earth has always grown in relationship with invisible yet measurable energies.
Electroculture draws upon ancient agricultural wisdom and documented scientific experimentation, including patented technologies from the 18th and 19th centuries that demonstrated increased yields, stronger plants, improved resilience to pests and disease, and enhanced soil fertility — all without synthetic inputs.
At its core, electroculture works by:
Harnessing atmospheric electricity and natural electromagnetic fields
Enhancing mineral uptake and nutrient availability within the soil
Stimulating beneficial microbial life and root systems
Supporting plants’ natural ability to self-regulate, adapt and thrive
Rather than forcing growth, electroculture restores balance — activating the soil as a living, intelligent system. When electrical and energetic flows are harmonised, plants grow with greater vitality, deeper roots, stronger immune responses and improved flavour, nutrition and yield.
Modern electroculture integrates these time-tested principles with accessible materials and contemporary understanding, making it practical for home growers, market gardeners and regenerative land projects alike. It offers a powerful alternative to chemical dependency, aligning food production with natural law rather than industrial control.
Electroculture is not a trick, a gadget, or a single technique — it is a relationship with the living Earth. One that invites us to listen, observe and work with nature’s intelligence rather than against it.

Book Signing
Richard’s new book Biggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply will be available to purchase on the day for £18, and there will be an opportunity to have your copy personally signed by Richard.
Biggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply
Faced with a plethora of anti-human policies metered out by a tyrannical town council, the people of the English market town of Biggleswick, come together to work out how they might tackle the ongoing erosion of their rights and the escalating surveillance and interference in their lives. When a travelling truth teller delivers a compelling speech at the community theatre, the locals are roused into action to devise a plan to reclaim their town’s authority and reject the accepted diktats that both the government and the local councillors insist are a necessary sacrifice for the sustainability of not only their town, but the world as a whole.
While this is a novel and all characters and organisations fictitious, with any similarity to those with the same name purely coincidental, the story mirrors the crisis of today. For authority’s continual encroachment into people’s lives has made life a struggle for many. Common sense and critical thinking is desperately lacking. Where, for example, is the logic in attributing swaths of agricultural land for solar panels one the one hand and then experimenting with sun-dimming technology to fend off man-made global warming on the other?
The author sincerely believes that should one town be brave enough to stand up against the these absurd ideas and damaging policies, assert their authority to the public servants, then with the rest of the world watching via social media, others might follow, instigating a huge change for the betterment of mankind.

Dominic Frisby an Evening of Comedy, Song & Satire Saturday 2nd May 2026 at HOPE Sussex
2026-05-02 18:00 - 22:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Dominic Frisby an Evening of Comedy, Song & Satire Saturday 2nd May 2026 at HOPE Sussex
“Outstanding” — The Times
“Beautifully crafted, cleverly pitched comedy” — The Scotsman
“Mercurially witty” — The Spectator
“Excellent” — The Daily Telegraph
Even The Guardian admits he can be “entertaining”
Join Dominic Frisby for an evening of sharp comedy, original songs and incisive satire.
An experienced stand-up comedian and prolific writer of comic songs, Dominic presents a lively collection of anecdotes, jokes and music, accompanied by one of Europe’s top jazz pianists, Chad Lelong, on keyboards.
Dominic’s songs have amassed many millions of views online. “We’re All Far Right Now” alone has surpassed 50 million views, with Elon Musk among those who have shared it.

From hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, and interactive learning sessions, to sports games, foraging adventures, and engaging Weird Science experiments, there’s something for every young explorer.
Children and teens will also have the opportunity to share their voices in education round tables, connect more deeply with nature, and take part in high-energy activities such as gel blasting and tug of war.
As the day draws to a close, the experience continues with memorable evening fire performances.
This is a nurturing space where young people can learn, play, express themselves, and thrive—while being part of a like-minded, heart-led community.

Andrew Lawrence Comedy Night Friday 29th May 2026
2026-05-29 18:30 - 22:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Andrew Lawrence is bringing his hilariously hard edged satirical comedy to HOPE again on Friday 29th May!
This will be a sell out so be sure to get your tickets early.
Andrew Lawrence Hope Sussex – Friday 29th May
Viral YouTube comedy phenomenon, Andrew Lawrence, takes his hard-edged satire on the road.
The ‘Live at the Apollo’, multiple award-winning stand-up star, has spent twenty years touring comedy clubs and festivals around the world, honing his craft to perfection.
Having been ‘cancelled’ twice for his unflinching, uproarious political humour, Andrew Lawrence has come back stronger each time, unstoppable in the face of censorship, selling out venues wherever he goes.
Now at the top of his game, following on from the huge success of his online videos- where he relentlessly pokes fun at Britain’s clown show political establishment- Andrew Lawrence is bringing his funniest show yet around the UK, a night of guaranteed belly laughs from one of this country’s very best comedians.
“Master of dark humour and a political provocateur” – British Comedy Guide
“Andrew Lawrence is superbly intelligent, highly articulate and deeply sour” – The Spectator
“His show is funny. Lawrence’s material is dark and deeply self-deprecating, bitter and somehow managing to be both biting and tongue in cheek, which is difficult to do without drawing blood.”-The Scotsman
Tickets: £18
6.30pm doors open for refreshments available in The Hub at HOPE (cash only)
7.30pm doors for a show starting at 8.30pm
Andrew Lawrence Hope Sussex – Friday 29th May
In the unlikely event that we cancel the event, we will offer a full refund. Unfortunately tickets are otherwise non-refundable. Please contact us if you wish to transfer your ticket to a friend if you cannot attend for any reason.
Seating is unreserved on a first come first serve basis.
There are NO physical tickets and all ticket holders will be on a list on the door and as back up we request you bring proof of purchase on your phone with your ticket confirmation order, so no need to print anything off.

Adrian's Sponsored Walk for HOPE Sunday 31st May 2026
2026-05-31 08:00 - 20:00 | East Sussex
Adrian’s Sponsored Walk for HOPE Sunday 31st May 2026, from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier. Join us for a powerful and heartfelt coastal walk in support of HOPE.
On Sunday 31st May, we’ll be walking 15.2 miles from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier, coming together as a community to raise funds for the expansion of the HOPE Hub. We’ll meet at the front of Hastings Pier at 8:00am, setting off at 8:30am, with support stops along the route every 5 miles to keep everyone encouraged and energised.
This walk has been lovingly inspired by Adrian, a deeply valued member of the HOPE community. Despite facing ongoing health challenges, including recurrent brain tumours and extensive treatment, Adrian’s focus has remained on giving back. His strength, courage and generosity are truly humbling, and this walk is a reflection of that spirit.
Our collective goal is to raise £5,000, which will go directly towards extending the HOPE Hub — supporting home educating families and strengthening a space that brings people together. The Hub is a welcoming meeting place for connection, learning and community, and this expansion will allow us to continue growing and creating a space for everyone to enjoy.
Get involved – walk with us!
We invite you to take part in this meaningful day by joining the walk and gathering sponsorship from friends, family and your wider network. Every step you take and every pound you raise will make a real difference.
Download your sponsor form here:

Share your journey, invite others to support you, and help us reach our target together.

Led by songwriter Alf Wiltshire’s gravelled vocals and presence, with Pete Arciero’s charismatic banjo and offbeat sounds, the duo deliver energetic, feel-good performances that don’t take themselves too seriously and remind you how fun live music should be. No Hat for Jo will be performing at our music festival this year too!
Please Support HOPE
HOPE Sussex Community is a truly special place and your support helps keep it alive and thriving.
Every penny we raise goes straight back into this grassroots project, ensuring it remains a safe, inspiring and nurturing space for families and children to grow, learn and connect.

Hope Garden Work Weekend Saturday 20th June 2026
2026-06-20 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
The Hope Community Garden Needs YOU!
Hope Garden Work Weekend Saturday 20th June 2026 – Come along, enjoy the fun and get involved. 10am start!
(Please bring a dish to share for lunch, refreshments will be available in the Hub, cash only please.)

We have all been enjoying the wonderful, home grown organic vegetables from the Hope Community Garden this spring. After the electro culture workshop the garden is thriving (although there are sometimes competitors for the seeds that are planted from some furry friends!) Now in it’s fourth season, the Hope Community Garden was started from scratch three years ago by parents and the wider Hope Community putting in hundreds of hours of volunteer garden time. To keep the organic veggies growing there is now a hardworking, dedicated but stretched garden volunteer team who dedicate time, energy and love as they work towards our shared mission of food sovereignty and withdrawing support from big supermarkets.
Hope Garden Needs YOU!
Hope Garden Work Weekends – Next one – Saturday 20th June 2026

The dreams of expanding what we already produce and grow can only be met with more volunteers – more time. more energy and more love from all of us. The garden is a beautiful place to learn skills, connect with others and contribute to our thriving garden. Be part of the solution, contribute to food sovereignty and pick up tricks and tips to take away to your own green space. Make friends that last a lifetime and weather all storms.
What’s in it for me?
Where to start!

🌿Giving back gives us a lovely feeling inside and can boost our energy, sense of purpose and wellbeing, adding meaning to our lives.

🌿Gardening and connecting to nature have been widely acknowledged as powerful healing, therapeutic tools in their own right.

🌿As we connect with mother earth and organic soil our gut biome can heal and we are naturally grounded.

🌿We become at one with the rhythms of nature, the seasons and the weather.

🌿Boost Vitamin D and produce serotonin, maybe even sleep better too.

🌿Time offline and in real life – the very thing the elite would rather you not do, gardening is an act of rebellion – choose nature over tech!

🌿Gardening as a group means we share the workload, share skills and connect together, co-regulating reduces stress and increases wellbeing.
OK you’ve convinced me, what now?
If you feel you can offer some time, energy and love to the Hope Garden reach out via email support@hopesussex.co.uk

There are people in most Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays so if you have kids at Hope why not volunteer for an hour each week while your kids learn? If you work why not come along to one of our Garden Work Weekends, next one is on Saturday 20th June.

Look forward to seeing you in the garden!

Abi is a critically acclaimed comedian, writer and podcaster and will be performing at HOPE Sussex Saturday 12th September 2026 with her one woman show “HOT BANANA”
Abi has played the major UK clubs, toured round the UK, and sold-out 5 critically acclaimed Edinburgh solo shows – including a show about living in Russia called Anglichanka which garnered several 5 star reviews.
“A one-of-a-kind stand-up” — Edinburgh Festivals Magazines
In 2016, she became the first comedian to do shows in Russia, in a mix of Russian and English.
More recently, she has been a regular contributor on GB News and had a regular spot as the ‘Woke Finder General’ on Talk Radio.
In 2022 Abi started her podcast Abi Daily which has grown a loyal following. Last year, Abi was arrested outside the UK Covid Inquiry in London. She spent 17 hours in a police cell. Her crime: “Swearing when told not to”

Electroculture Workshop Saturday 17th October 2026
2026-10-17 10:00 - 16:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Electroculture Two Part Educational Workshop Saturday 17th October 2027 at Hope.
Following our Electroculture installation in March, we are pleased to have the Electroculture PMA team back for another practical workshop this Autumn.
You will see our Electroculture Antenna, and how our Polytunnel and beds are doing as you immerse yourself into the hands-on aspects of this two-part workshop which will include knowing how to erect your own Antenna and lay the required groundworks for your own project.

Prior to joining us on the Saturday, you will need to have completed the online theory via a Zoom recording of around 3 hours and so you will need a Zoom account to access it. You can dip in and out as much as you care to, one subject at a time and keep referring back.

This workshop brings together the most impactful insights, refined methods, and proven approaches developed through extensive hands‑on experience and continuous learning. You will learn that Electroculture is NOT a copper wire wrapped around a stick and in fact brings in the all-important and missing top soil electro-magnetic field. Life in the top soil won’t be maintained without an electro-magnetic field to enable its self-regeneration. Think of it like the Schumann resonance equivalent but for the soil.

You’ll gain clear, structured guidance so that you can correctly install Electroculture yourself with kits available (donations required, cash preferred).

Additional complimentary subjects such as Geotherapy, Sacred Geometry and ways to help improve your soil are all included as you will be made aware of how they can benefit your Electroculture installation.

Electroculture is 100% complimentary to other natural gardening/farming methods such as Biodynamics, Permaculture, Hugelkultur (mound culture).

Whether you’re an experienced grower or just starting out, you’ll have the strategic understanding with practical tools you can apply immediately.

Prices
If you book before 31 August 2026, the Early Bird donation of £150 applies.

Bookings after this will be the regular donation of £180.
