**weather dependent
Over the years, through hosting and joining meetup events, one of the most common things I’ve heard is that people are looking for friends. Back in 2024 Marise and I hosted a friendship course, but I still think this topic is very important for most of us.
This event is a one time open discussion where we will chat openly about friendship and how to find friends. The exercises will be interactive.
PRICE: €5
Refunds: there will be no refunds once payment is made.
TIME: 1:30-3pm

About the Location:
We are meeting at Merrion Square park.

No pressure, but it would help keep things running smoothly!

I will be doing an ancient sun dance the day before to be sure we get nice weather 🌞 ;).Check out: https://activesocialconnections.com/ for more events!
- Let's Be Honest TogetherAbbey Presbyterian Church, Dublin 1
This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and safe environment and open up about our lives freely.
A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves.
Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room.
Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend.
- PRICE: 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop.
- TIME: We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55. Please be on time, to respect other members in the group.
- VENUE: We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left.
- NOTE: Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.
