The Literati Dublin
Hello Everyone!
Let's read something before coming to the event. It can be a few pages from a book, an article, a poem, an advertisement, a joke, a recipe, a quote, social media content - anything you find interesting. We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation.
Please feel free to bring books :)

Writing Meet-Up 🌷
For our first writing meet-up, we’ll simply come together to spend some time writing in good company 🌷 Bring whatever you’re working on, or just a notebook and an idea, and settle in with a coffee ☕ We’ll keep it relaxed, with space to write quietly or chat a little if it feels natural. There’s no pressure to share, just a gentle space to create alongside others.
Let's Be Honest Together (New Venue)
⚠️
1. New Venue: [Third Space](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PmYZgQURX9Ebcihq5) (Smithfield)
2. Start time: 7:30PM
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 costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event.
**TIME**: We will start at 19:30 and finish at 20:50. Please be on time, to respect the event and other members in the group.
**VENUE**: *We are meeting at Third Space @Smithfield Market Smithfield, Dublin 7, D07 P440*

Self Hep Book Club: The inner game of tennis
**Stop overthinking and start performing. We’re discussing W. Timothy Gallwey’s classic on silencing the "inner critic" to unlock peak performance.**
📚 Books & Social 🍸
📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives.
Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader.
There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬
It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests!
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
🔍 **How to find us?**
* When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
* If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

HP Blavatsky & The mystery of the Nr 7
From all her travels, particularly in Egypt and India, Helena Blavatsky brought back to the West ancient teachings on the knowledge of the human being and his mysteries.
The ancient science of numbers, and in particular the number 7, is one of the elements that has been passed down to us by the philosopher known as HPB. The ‘septenary key’ offers a profoundly universal view of the Human Being and Nature: it allows us to understand the law of evolution that governs their interactions, including the spiritual and material dimensions of this driving force of life.
**About the mysteries of the number 7**
The number Seven is universal and the Septenary is linked to the “Star” symbol of the accomplished Human Being, so wonderfully depicted by Leonardo da Vinci.
HPB reminds us that the organisation of the cosmos itself is based on a septenary key; and that this organisation is also found in the elements that make us up. Adjusting to this great melody of life, to this universal law, is the great inner struggle of the human being.
The number seven is that of Nature in motion, in evolution. It teaches us that humanity has not finished its evolution. The actualisation of the number Seven and its principles and qualities is the great inner struggle that the Human Being must wage in order to become a fulfilled Individual, living in harmony with the laws of Nature.
This individual, connected and embracing the inner battle, whom we could call a ‘peaceful warrior’, is one of the mysteries unveiled by the number 7.
*There will be a break with tea, coffee and cakes.*
