Costa Urbana
The starting point of Costa Urbana is the city by the sea, the Mediterranean metropolis; that inexplicably blissful contrast one is experiencing at the edge of the busy city-port... the strict blue horizon;
the harbour, the voyage... It explores the beauty of the South European, Balkan, Middle Eastern and North African coast and its people; where tradition and roots in entertainment and the arts blend with modernity
and new urban mythology. At Synergy cU will present like-minded live London-based projects and a new breed of roots clubbing from behind

Workshops
Portraiture Workshops hosted by Wendalena

Wendalena is certainly not your usual club culture performer and with her vibrant charisma she has managed to draw in audiences far larger than the live drawing circle can hold. The classes’ start at 12.30 am and finish at 3:30 am and takes place in the The Synergy Gallery space – don’t miss it – all materials provided!

Future of psychedelics UK symposium
A panel of legendary UK Psychedelic voyagers from various generations (Fraser Clark, Mark Heley, Andy Letcher) will help us look into the future of Psychedelics in general and into the UK Psychedelic scene specifically. We will look at the history and ideas (Huxley, Leary etc.) of the Psychedelic scene (particularly in the UK) and what went right and what went wrong.
Then the Synergy panelists and audience will share their experiences and brainstorm together to see how the Psychedelics scene might look in the future.
RAW POWER: How the Raw Food Diet Can Improve Your Being
Two of the most inspiring Raw Food 'gurus' in the UK, 'Shazzie' and Kate (Wood) Magic come to Synergy to show Synergy clubbers the benefits of Raw Food Diet.g
The audience will be encouraged to question Shazzie and Kate about all aspects of Raw Food. Kate and Shazzie will talk about their own conversions to Raw Food and show us the beauty and power of Raw. Finally they will show us how we can go raw too!
