This talk and workshop, led by Britain Stelly, is a unique opportunity to peek into the dark places of the mind, tame the beast within and interact with some incredible creepy crawlies.



Animal phobias are widespread with about 10% of us suffering from ophidiophobia fear of snakes and up to 6% experiencing arachnophobia fear of spiders.



In workshop you will learn about the psychology of fear and phobias and how our survival brain often works against us in our modern-day context. You will also learn techniques on how to move beyond fear and anxiety and get your brain to work for you instead of against you.



Afterward, you will get a unique opportunity to put these techniques to the test with an opportunity to hold and interact with some fascinating invertebrates, such as tarantulas, tailless whip scorpions, giant millipedes, giant hissing cockroaches, and giant stick/leaf insects.



Tickets £15 including a 20% donation to a host of restoration projects at Kensal Green Cemetery.

Organiser

A Curious Invitation and Antique Beat
This year Antique Beat and A Curious Invitation will be hosting The London Month of the Dead, a series of 36 different events investigating the capital’s relationship with its deceased residents. Events will include a private view of the Museum of London’s bone archive, taxidermy workshops, macabre walking tours and private views and a programme of weekend death salons with talks on subjects ranging from public dissection and body snatching to reincarnation and funereal folklore. Each salon will feature a pair of speakers, authorities in fields such as osteology, forensic pathology and the paranormal, who will offer their own perspectives and insights on mortality in the city. Each year the London Month of the Dead donates 20% of all ticket revenue to one of London's magnificent seven cemeteries. In 2017 all of the death salons and concerts will be hosted at the Dissenters and Anglican chapels at Kensal Green. In previous years the month's programme has centered around Brompton Cemetery but the chapel is now undergoing important restoration work, a project the London Month of the Dead is proud to have supported. The London Month of the Dead has been curated by a Curious Invitation and Antique Beat to inform, entertain and provoke on the subject of death and London cemeteries.

    We were a little disappointed that we were unable to hear Casting the Runes. The other stories were fun though, especially the Judge’s House. How could it go wrong with Bram Stocker in charge!
