Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. It helps us change the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us. Buddhist meditation techniques offer a way of encouraging and developing positive states of mind, such as calmness, clarity, emotional positivity and a deeper seeing of the true nature of things. On this introductory day both the *Mindfulness of Breathing* and the *Development of Loving Kindness* meditations will be taught. It will be ideal as an introduction for those new to meditation, or as a refreshing day retreat for those who’d like a boost to their practice. **Cost** We do tiered pricing, depending on the circumstances. * €80 waged * €45 low-waged / unwaged / student **Booking** Book your place at [https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/meditation-essentials-day-retreat-4/](https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/meditation-essentials-day-retreat-4/)

**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic** This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there. On the day, we’ll: * Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep * Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally * **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices * Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food * Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea: * The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin * What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome. Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key. This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.

Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. This week's facilitators: * **Colin** will run The Wildsea: Centuries ago, the old world was swallowed by a sea of mile-high trees. Now you and your crew sail across the treetops of the Wildsea in a shop driven by a chainsaw. Low magic, high weird, leaf-punk adventures await! Your crew has heard rumors of same rare materials revealed by a recent storm and you are off to explore! * **Silvia** will run The (Orc) Pope Is Dead, yet another silly adventure by Grant Howitt. Terrible news: you and the lads went out drinking with the Pope last night and now he’s dead. The orcish church of Bog-Al-Kurruk is without a leader. Can you and your mates - esteemed clerics all - work out which one of you it’s going to be, and then outdo or discredit your rivals to claim the most prestigious title in the orc nation? *** Details for the event (number of groups and games) will be published here or earlier on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin). Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on Discord).

For a long time, I gave because I thought I had to. I made myself useful, easy to keep around, as if I had to earn the right to be chosen, to make sure they wouldn't leave. But people who are meant to be close to you choose you for who you are, not for what you do for them. Otherwise, it's transactional and full of pressure and expectations. **This is an evening to feel that difference in your own body.** **Who this is for** * You give until there's nothing left. * You say yes before you've checked whether it's a real yes. * You often regret overstepping your own boundaries. * You give to make sure you’re useful to the other person. * You'd like to learn what it feels like to give from a full-hearted yes. * You want to grow into a giver to nurture others without losing yourself. **What we'll do** * A 100% cacao upon arrival and a short meditation. * A slow warm-up to notice your own patterns in space. * A simple practice with a partner, one gentle, consensual action, to feel the difference between a yes you mean and a yes you're performing. * Space to look at where you over-give and what it costs. * Paired soundbath. * A closing circle. **What this is not** Not therapy. Not a workshop where you need to be a certain way. Any touch or practice is always your choice, and something you can pass on at any point. Come as you are. **The practical bits** Sunday, July 5th, 4–5:45 pm. Calm Rooms, Monkstown. Up to 10 seats. RSVP through this Meetup. Wear something comfortable that you can sit on the floor in. Bring a water bottle. **About** me I'm Olena. I'm a psychologist (PSI graduate member), doing a PhD in organisational psychology, with somatic and consent-based training on top. I run cacao ceremonies and cuddle therapy sessions in Dublin. The Relating Lab is a series of four events that I'll be running monthly through the summer. Each event is focused on a different quadrant of the Wheel of Consent. This is the entry point. Come and share this space with like-minded people. **Everything is opt-in.** You can pass on any exercise without explaining why. This event is an introduction to future workshops about giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. It's a safe space; the exercises might include some platonic touch (if you opt in). Every participant is invited to come with reverence for others in the group. *The Art of Giving is part of a **four-part Relating Lab series** running through the summer, each evening exploring a different part of how we give and receive. Come and share this space with like-minded people.* **Note:** We may take a few photos during the event for future promotion, and you’re very welcome to opt out by letting us know when you arrive.

Hello everyone, My name is Taka. Introduction Workshop to learn about Jyorei - Japanese Energy Healing. **Location :** Oscailt 8 Pembroke Rd, Dublin check in 10:45 - 11:00 Jyorei Worksheop 11:00- 12:30 This introduction Workshop is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about a simple yet profound healing art—Jyorei—which helps us become healthier and happier by shining Divine Light within us. Mokichi Okada, the creator of Jyorei, officially began his healing work, applying Jyorei in its earliest form in 1934. He viewed spiritual/physical impurities in our bodies as the cause of various forms of suffering, and developed Jyorei as a healing method to dissolve those impurities. Currently, over a couple of million people around the world are practicing Jyorei, and are experiencing remarkable benefits from it. Jyorei is a shared act involving two people, one who gives and one who receives. No physical contact occurs , therefore we observe social distancing. Besides profound healing, the person receiving Jyorei may experience a sensation of tranquility and well-being. The nature of Jyorei is such that its blessings are even greater for the giver. Not only does the giver benefit by Jyorei, but he or she also gains a larger capacity for compassion and love for others by sharing these benefits with close relatives, friends, and neighbours.Jyorei can be given at any place and to anyone. We look forward to seeing you at the class. Jyorei story on Youtube. [https://youtu.be/-ZnHILhENQM?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/-ZnHILhENQM?feature=shared) **Who are we?** Shumei, a spiritual organisation, fosters health, happiness, and harmony for all by applying the wisdom and insights of the spiritual leader, Mokichi Okada, whom its members refer to as “Meishusama”. Meishusama taught that a world free of sickness, poverty, and discord is within everyone’s reach through the spiritual healing of Jyorei, the practice of Natural Agriculture, and the appreciation of Art and Beauty.

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!

From the moment sin entered the world, death began. Adam and Eve were not stricken dead immediately, but the process by which none of us lives forever in health and wholeness in these earthly bodies started its inexorable march to the inevitable end—death. The Bible makes it clear that by one man’s sin, death came to all mankind, but that by the obedience of One Perfect Man, Jesus, many are made righteous (Romans 5:19). F.F. Bosworth recognized this truth; he also would have people consider that the God Who provided for our greatest need—salvation from eternal death—would also provide healing for the lesser, but still great needs, of health and healing from sickness, disease, and the consequences of sin that we encounter before we die. Join us as we examine the case for biblical healing in the book first published in 1924, ***Christ The Healer*. We meet at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 6:30 pm.** Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/christ-the-healer-columbus-ohio-tickets-1989133215995)!

Just because someone quotes the Bible doesn't mean that they are using it in truth. In Luke chapter 4, Jesus goes out into the wilderness to fast and pray for 40 days and Satan takes that opportunity to taunt and tempt Jesus to sin. How does Satan make effort to entice God In Human Flesh to sin? By quoting His own words to Him, but out of context, falsely, and with evil intent. The importance of knowing God rightly and in truth through His Word is of utmost importance. Jesus made this clear when He defeated Satan's arguments by directing Scripture right back at the Father of Lies, in the Spirit and in Truth. Come study Luke 4 with us, **Sunday morning, July 26, 2026 at 10 am, True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**! We look forward to seeing you there!!
