Join us as we celebrate **International Earth Day!** Ecological sentiment is not something new; it has always been a part of our relationship with Mother Earth. In the 21st century, perhaps we have forgotten how to love the world we live in? Has our relationship with Nature become merely pragmatic, practical, and nearly utilitarian, instead of nurturing and meaningful? What we do not love, we can’t protect. Responsibility comes from the heart, which is why ancient wisdom reminds us that we belong to the world we live in and that we are a living part of a much greater cosmos. It is falling in love with that sense of belonging that will give energy and care to our actions for Mother Earth. **How to belong: Myths from Around the World** Step into our storytelling circle to hear ancient myths that have shaped the human-nature relationship for millennia. We will explore how different cultures have traditionally viewed their responsibility to the Earth. **How to transform everyday habits into sustainable actions!** Explore practical DIY cleaning solutions made from simple, eco-friendly ingredients. Join us to learn sustainable ideas that fit into your daily routine, from reducing waste to making small, impactful changes. Participate in our interactive sustainability stand designed to inspire small but important steps toward a healthier planet. Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint or simply want to live more sustainably, this stand offers actionable tips and hands-on inspiration. Because sustainability is not about losing something, it is about remembering our relationship with the living world. *We will meet in Dartmouth Square Park at 2pm.*

The meaning of the word zen is meditation, zazen means sitting meditation. In zazen practice we begin to know ourselves, and to go beyond the limits of our personal ego. Within our tradition zazen is referred to as shikantaza, not doing, letting go of thoughts, dropping off body and mind. This sitting meditation is the focus of our practice. Language limits our ability to communicate the true nature of zen; it is something that is better understood through practice. We are open to everyone interested in learning about zen. Intro workshop for newcomers is available at 5.30pm each Sunday. The dojo is a sacred place and it is important to be considerate of everyone. We have many people that travel to practise together once a week or once a month. So for that reason it is really essential that we all know the structure of the sitting practise (when to sit, how to do Kinhin, the different bell sounds and their meaning etc), to ensure a silent, safe and meaningful meditation. And it's also great to meet everyone before the sitting practise. And answer any questions you may have. We have zafus and zabutons (mats and cushions) for all to sit on. Chairs are available too. Comfortable clothing for sitting, black or neutral tones best. We greatly appreciate a donation of €5 to cover costs if it's possible for you. Please arrive 10min before start so 6ish (if you're not doing the intro workshop). You are very welcome to our dojo!
