Founded by friends and fellow acupuncturists Grace Flynn and Benjamin Crisford, Lewes Community Acupuncture was created to provide high-quality, professional acupuncture treatments to the local community at an affordable price.

Our mission is to make the benefits of regular acupuncture accessible to as many people as possible. We offer a flexible, sliding-scale payment model, which allows you to choose a price that suits your budget—no proof of income required. Appointments are open to both new and returning clients, with no restrictions.

Our community acupuncture clinic is held in a 'multi-bed' setting, meaning several people are treated on separate treatment tables together in one large space. Acupuncture needles usually take 20-45 minutes to do their work, so the practitioner can place needles in one patient and leave them to relax before moving on to another patient. This way of working enables us to significantly reduce the price of each treatment for our patients.

While multi-bed clinics are relatively new to the West, in China it is considered normal to treat many people together, with private acupuncture appointments being less common. As well as benefitting from the lower price, many people prefer the experience of receiving acupuncture in a more communal atmosphere.

Explore the art of photomontage while having a freshly brewed herbal infusions. Each session we will look at different collage techniques and the work of contemporary photomontage artists. You’ll get to experiment through both individual and collaborative activities. The work will focus on the visual explorations of the human figure.

Complementing the creative work, a rotating selection of fresh herbal teas will support the mood and theme of the session. By the end of the course, participants will build a small series of photomontages and develop confidence in working with physical materials. This workshop is welcoming and open to absolute beginners and seasoned makers alike.

Our classes begin by settling the mind and creating space.

We start each session with “Movement Zero” – also known as Open-Close or Hun Yuan Zhang. This foundational practice allows us to experience what it means to open the joints, relax the muscles, and synchronise movement with intention.

From here, we explore the Five Loosening Exercises, designed to train the body to move with natural connection through rising, falling, turning, and stillness.

The form we study is the 37-step Tai Chi form, passed down from Cheng Man-Ching and developed by Grandmaster Huang Sheng-Shyan. This form teaches us how to move as one integrated whole – with softness, clarity and internal strength.

The Crescent Collective and Moonwater Planet are thrilled to host this truly special event within the wonderful energy of the Lewes Subud Centre. 

Seated together in circles, we commence the ceremony honouring the time of transition from darkness on the magical winter solstice evening.  Releasing the darkness for another year, we then move to welcome and invite in the journey back to light, offering our blessings and love.

Zen Master Benjamin will then raise the vibration and energy of the room with his remarkable sound bath, inviting us to immerse ourselves in his melodic, haunting notes and rhythms during this wonderful part of the evening.

We invite you to join us, connect and appreciate the cyclical nature of life and the message of hope and perseverance as we turn to face a new year full of promise.

This 6-week creative journey draws inspiration from the pioneering colour studies of Josef Albers, guiding participants through a hands-on exploration of how we perceive, combine, and respond to colour. Through a series of engaging activities, we will investigate how colours interact, shift and transform depending on their context. Just as Albers encouraged, we will move beyond theory into direct experience, training the eye and mind to notice subtle variations, illusions and harmonies that often go unseen.

6 Week Course // Every Friday // Starts 9th Jan - Ends 13th Feb // 10am-12pm // Exploring colour in the landscape through oil paint monotypes and photography // All welcome

Explore colour in the landscape in this mixed-media course combining oil-paint monotype printing and photography. Designed for both beginners and experienced artists, this 6-week course encourages playful experimentation, personal interpretation and a deeper understanding of how colour shapes our experience of place.

On the course, you’ll learn how to print with oil paint on a printing plate and experiment with different techniques. We will look at a range of artists to support our work and complete some photographic exercises to help inform our work. You’ll also have the freedom to develop your own visual language while receiving guided support in technique, composition and creative decision making.

Whether you’re interested in refreshing your practice, learning a new medium, or simply enjoying a creative escape, this course offers a supportive environment to explore colour, experiment and build a body of work inspired by the local landscape.

We explore the body as a tool to meet who we are, observing the mechanisms that guide us, entering the adventure of movement. We invite you to take part in this intensive workshop. This journey is designed to unlock your creativity, move beyond fear, restore self confidence, and cultivate a conscious, inspired and healthy relationship with your creative potential.
