Robun is hosting two wellbeing events during Bath’s upcoming ReBalance festival, starting with ‘An introduction to Traditional Usui Reiki’ on Thursday 16 February, in which Bath’s own Heidi Rearden will deliver a talk on the ancient art of reiki, followed by a ‘Kintsugi Workshop’ on Monday 20 February. With Japanese cuisine so widely celebrated for its healthy balance, Robun has chosen to present these more practical elements of Japanese culture during the festival, both of which are firmly rooted in health and wellbeing.

Alexander Carson is a nonbinary singer-songwriter /composer based in rural North Norfolk, who spends the majority of their time bumbling around a remote cottage in the woods making obtuse sounds, comforted and accompanied by two ambivalent cats, one over-excited dog, and one long-suffering partner. Carson aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence in their music. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre. Carson is playing on 17 February at 8pm at Chapel Arts Centre. Advance tickets £12 (£14 on chapelarts.org
