SUMMARY:The Dead Curious Cafe at Tribe Porty
DESCRIPTION:A series of interactive talks at the Dead Curious Cafe where we’ll explore our attitudes towards\, and our relationship with death. \nOpen conversations around death and dying are often confined to the realms of bad news\, frequently in a medical environment\, when the conversation becomes unavoidable. \nThere is merit in normalising the subject of death to open up a wider perspective on the important aspects of living our best life. Many people avoid thinking about death\, which can create fear and discomfort. Open discussions help normalise death\, making it less of a taboo and allowing people to approach it with more acceptance and peace. \nJoin us for a series of interactive talks at the Dead Curious Cafe where we will explore our attitudes towards\, and our relationship with death. \nThis is a safe and nurturing environment\, where participation is encouraged\, and mutual respect is a given. \nYour facilitator is Loretta Dunn\, a Life Celebrant and retired nurse\, with many years of experience working with bereaved families and people at the end of life. \nThis is pay-what-you-can event\, suggested donation is £5. \nAbout Loretta. \nLoretta Dunn is a life celebrant and death doula\, with a special interest in living well and dying well. Her journey so far has included a long career in nursing and midwifery\, she is a member of The Institute for the Study of Birth\, Breath and Death\, and an EASE Facilitator (end of life aid skills for everyone) with the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care. She is passionate about bringing death out of the shadows as a means of helping us to live our best life in the present moment. \nCompassion and love are at the heart of her work. \nThe evening will be safe and relaxed environment for sharing and exploring a deeper understanding of spiritual wellbeing for living well to die well. \n“Love has triumphed from the enfoldment of my inner circle—my closest friends and family. Engaging in open conversations about life and death has woven tighter bonds among us. Death\, a shared human experience often wrapped in silence\, has become a pivotal topic of our discussions. Through this\, I’ve gained invaluable insights about the inevitable but more so about how to live.” -Dani Trudeau on conversations about death

SUMMARY:Writers' HQ - Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The best one-day writing retreat in brilliant Edinburgh \nSometimes what you really need is simple: time\, space and a whole load of tea and biscuits to get writing. Well\, it just so happens that’s exactly what happens at a Writers’ HQ writers’ retreat. Because\, look\, we get it. We have the same writerly problem. We make the grandest of plans – Booker Prize winning plans! Pulitzer winning plans! – but life gets in the way. There’s always one more thing to do\, or one more stupid thing to look at on the Internet. Before you know it\, it’s gone midnight\, you’re sitting in your pants eating Dairy Milk\, and you’ve written 25 words. Ugh. That’s why we developed our writing retreats\, in which we turn off the wifi and make you get on with it. We help you set a writing target for the day\, ply you with caffeine\, cake\, and gold stars\, and keep you pepped up and motivated all day long. All you have to do is\, uh… write. Our (in)famous writing retreats were born in Brighton all the way back in 2012 and have since spread across the UK. You’ll find a whole range of writers here — from novelists to short fictioneers\, screenwriters to poets\, academics to journallers. Everyone is welcome. So c’mon down and let us help you. Because the only way to get your writing done is to sit down and write. \nDirections\nThe venue is just off the high street and there is on-street parking. A range of buses also run to Portobello from the centre of Edinburgh (services 26\, 45\, 15 and 49) and from East Lothian. The nearest train station is Brunstane which is a 15 min walk away and has regular services to Waverley station (8 mins to city centre). There is also a new service from Brunstane to the Borders. \nAccessibility\nTribe Porty has level and step-free access throughout\, and an accessible disabled toilet. The walls and the doors have high colour contrast and there is good lighting throughout. We can also cater for dietary requirements. If you have any additional needs\, please let us know when you book or email he**@**********co.uk and we’ll do everything we can do help. \nAnything else?\nWriters’ HQ retreats are strictly no sharing events! We want you to focus on writing your story instead of getting anxious about other people reading it. There is no workshopping or taught element to the retreats. It’s just about the writing. For more writing resources\, check out our awesome range of online writing courses.

SUMMARY:Designing a Climate of Care
DESCRIPTION:How are climate change and nature loss affecting your wellbeing? What do they mean for your home\, your work\, or your family? How able do you feel to talk about these themes with people in your life\, and in your local area? \nWhile the climate and nature crisis is impacting mental health and local communities worldwide\, dedicated spaces to face and process these challenges are rare. \nOn September 15\, Tribe Porty will host an evening for Tribers and our extended community to connect over these themes and collectively design how we respond. \nThe session will help us form a stronger connection with the Earth as well as with each other. \nWe will begin with a ‘climate circle’: a confidential\, safe space to share openly about our emotions\, and listen deeply to each other\, in response to the topic: ‘what does thinking about climate change and nature loss bring up for you’? Participants are invited to share their stories and experiences\, or simply to hold space for others to do so. During the circle\, we speak in a sequence and refrain from dialogue and offering each other solutions\, focusing instead on honouring what is present.  \nThere will also be opportunity to explore how we build agency\, rooted in (self-)compassion. Following the circle\, we will have space to reflect and discuss what we need as individuals and what we think the community needs on an ongoing basis. \nYour facilitator will be Rob Macquarie\, a researcher and strategist specialising in climate resilience and the ‘just transition’ and a trained climate circle host. See more about Rob below. \nAs a pilot event for the community\, this is a pay-what-you-can event\, with a suggested donation of £7.  \nImage credit: Eye on Extinction by Robert Lyn Nelson

SUMMARY:Reshape and OWN your Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Shauna Macdonald and Paul Lambie will coach you on how RESHAPE how you approach public speaking. \nFind your voice\, own your performance\, and learn to communicate with more confidence\, presence and freedom. \nOver two days\, 10-5pm at Tribe Porty\, we’ll use practical\, playful and experiential exercises drawn from theatre\, performance and communication to help you find what works for you. \nYou’ll learn tools to: \n– Ground yourself in speaking situations and develop greater presence and power when you talk. \n– Find and own your natural voice\, while exploring its full potential through the 3 Ps: pitch\, pause and pace. \n– Get more comfortable with vulnerability and discover a different way of thinking about performance. \n– Steal useful techniques from the world of theatre to engage\, inspire and connect with an audience. \n– Listen actively\, so you can stay present\, spontaneous and responsive rather than getting stuck in your head. \n– Manage nerves by breaking down what you’re saying\, shifting your focus towards the listener and connecting your voice to your intention. \n– Use the MOTTO formula — a simple\, repeatable structure for preparing and delivering yourself clearly in all sorts of speaking situations. \n– Use your body and physical presence to support and strengthen your message. \n– Recognise and get out of the habits that can sabotage your potential: self-doubt\, overwhelm and confusion. \nThe aim isn’t to turn you into someone else. \nIt’s to help you become more comfortable\, more present and more you when you speak. \nSoup and refreshments are available each day.

SUMMARY:Progress Sessions - Wellbeing by Design: Try\, Review\, Adjust
DESCRIPTION:The Progress Sessions\nThree evening sessions on practical career support\, wellbeing and peer encouragement. You’ll get useful tools\, space to reflect\, and a chance to connect with other Tribers. Free for Tribe members (check your Inside Tribe newsletter for your code)\, with a small charge for everyone else. \nSession Two: Wellbeing by Design: Try\, Review\, Adjust\nLed by Dani Trudeau\, Founding Director\, Tribe Porty CIC \nWellbeing isn’t something that happens to you. You can build it\, one small experiment at a time. \nThis is a hands-on\, conversational session rather than a talk. Instead of waiting to feel ready or trying to get everything right first time\, we’ll work the way good experiments do: try something small\, notice what happens\, and adjust. Things that don’t go to plan still tell you something useful\, and that’s how resilience actually gets built. The approach draws on behavioural science\, which shows that small\, specific experiments are more likely to lead to lasting change than big resolutions. \nDuring the evening you’ll: \n\nGet clearer on what you actually want right now\, not what you think you should want\nChoose one small\, realistic change to test in the weeks ahead\nPlan how you’ll protect your energy and sense of self while things are shifting\nPractise reviewing a setback as information rather than failure\n\nYou’ll leave with a simple experiment of your own and a way to check in on it. Come for the whole session or drop in for part of it\, since each part stands on its own.

SUMMARY:Writers' HW: One Day Writing Retreat in Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:The best one-day writing retreat in brilliant Edinburgh \nSometimes what you really need is simple: time\, space and a whole load of tea and biscuits to get writing. Well\, it just so happens that’s exactly what happens at a Writers’ HQ writers’ retreat. Because\, look\, we get it. We have the same writerly problem. We make the grandest of plans – Booker Prize winning plans! Pulitzer winning plans! – but life gets in the way. There’s always one more thing to do\, or one more stupid thing to look at on the Internet. Before you know it\, it’s gone midnight\, you’re sitting in your pants eating Dairy Milk\, and you’ve written 25 words. Ugh. That’s why we developed our writing retreats\, in which we turn off the wifi and make you get on with it. We help you set a writing target for the day\, ply you with caffeine\, cake\, and gold stars\, and keep you pepped up and motivated all day long. All you have to do is\, uh… write. Our (in)famous writing retreats were born in Brighton all the way back in 2012 and have since spread across the UK. You’ll find a whole range of writers here — from novelists to short fictioneers\, screenwriters to poets\, academics to journallers. Everyone is welcome. So c’mon down and let us help you. Because the only way to get your writing done is to sit down and write. \nDirections\nThe venue is just off the high street and there is on-street parking. A range of buses also run to Portobello from the centre of Edinburgh (services 26\, 45\, 15 and 49) and from East Lothian. The nearest train station is Brunstane which is a 15 min walk away and has regular services to Waverley station (8 mins to city centre). There is also a new service from Brunstane to the Borders. \nAccessibility\nTribe Porty has level and step-free access throughout\, and an accessible disabled toilet. The walls and the doors have high colour contrast and there is good lighting throughout. We can also cater for dietary requirements. If you have any additional needs\, please let us know when you book or email help@writershq.co.uk and we’ll do everything we can do help. \nAnything else?\nWriters’ HQ retreats are strictly no sharing events! We want you to focus on writing your story instead of getting anxious about other people reading it. There is no workshopping or taught element to the retreats. It’s just about the writing. For more writing resources\, check out our awesome range of online writing courses.\nYour host for these shenanigans…\nVeronique runs the Writers’ HQ Edinburgh retreats and also hosts online weekend retreats and write-alongs. She writes short stories\, flash fiction and has recently finished her first novel. When she’s not writing you can usually find her in the cinema or on social media.

SUMMARY:Progress Sessions - Collaborative Coworking
DESCRIPTION:Progress Sessions at Tribe Porty\nThree evening sessions on practical career support\, wellbeing and peer encouragement. You’ll get useful tools\, space to reflect\, and a chance to connect with other Tribers. The sessions build on each other: ideas and tools in the first two\, then a peer-led evening to share what you’ve tried and learn from each other. Free for Tribe members (check your Inside Tribe newsletter for your code)\, with a small charge for everyone else. \nSession Three: Collaborative Coworking \nSometimes a fresh perspective\, or simply knowing you’re not facing something alone\, can make all the difference. This relaxed\, peer-led evening is a chance to bring together what you’ve picked up across the series and make real progress alongside others. \nUse the time however it helps you most: \n\nWork on your CV\, applications or LinkedIn profile\, with peers on hand to review and give feedback\nShare how your wellbeing experiment from Session Two went\, and what you’d adjust next\nTalk through a challenge and solve problems together\n\nThere’s no set agenda. Bring what you’re working on and we’ll make space for it. You’re welcome whether or not you came to the earlier sessions.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Design in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:This community-facilitated series celebrates the vast knowledge\, skills\, and experiences at Tribe Porty. \nCecilia Righini explores what inclusive design looks like in the age of AI. Together\, we’ll look at how creative tools can either repeat old biases or help us make more accessible\, thoughtful choices. Expect a hopeful but honest session covering AI\, accessibility\, design\, representation\, and the small creative choices that help communities feel seen and included. You’ll leave with practical takeaways to apply to your own work\, projects\, or organisation. \nAbout the speaker: \nCecilia Righini (they/them) is the founder and creative director of Studio Lutalica\, an Edinburgh-based\, queer and feminist-led design studio and social enterprise. Their work sits at the intersection of design\, accessibility\, and social justice. They also speak and facilitate on inclusivity\, accessible design practices\, and the role of human judgement in creative work.
