Hello everyone, My name is Taka. Introduction Workshop to learn about Jyorei - Japanese Energy Healing. \*\*Location :\*\*Oscailt 8 Pembroke Rd, Dublin 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. Kind regards, Taka E Mail : dublin@shumei.eu

Meditating on the Twin Hearts enables the body to absorb a tremendous amount of energy which many refer to as Prana, Chi or life’s energy. This has a flushing and cleansing effect, then stimulating and energising effect through the practitioners’ system resulting in better physical, emotional and mental health. For Stress Relief & Wellbeing. Scientifically validated to reduce stress and anxiety, increase memory, focus and positive brain activity. Flush out negativity and achieve peace and stillness in less than 30 minutes.

### Let’s Reconnect & Play: Our First Test Session! Hello everyone, and welcome to our community! Our daily lives can get so stressful and overwhelming between work, study, and endless adult responsibilities. We created this group because we wanted to design a safe space to just **be**, enjoy the present moment, and disconnect from all the digital noise—social media, algorithms, and daily anxiety. To kick things off, we are hosting our very first **test session**! This is a special, intimate gathering to try out our dynamics before we launch our regular events to the general public. **What to expect:** * **A gentle grounding and meditation practice:** A space to arrive, breathe, and leave the rush of the city behind. * **Original group games & creative activities:** Fun, low-pressure dynamics designed to break the ice, laugh, and reconnect with your "inner child." * **A cozy space for reflection:** A moment to share how we feel and build authentic human connections. **The details:** * 📅 **When:** May 24th at 2:00 PM * 📍 **Where:** City Center (Exact outdoor/indoor location will be shared with confirmed participants via private message). * 🎟️ **Symbolic Fee:** €5 (This is a non-profit test session; the fee is just to confirm your spot, secure attendance, and help with basic organization/materials). * **All you have to bring is great attitude and your yoga mat**! We have a **very limited number of spots** to keep the group small, safe, and meaningful. If you feel like you need a "digital detox" and a bit of genuine play in your life, RSVP to secure your spot! Once you sign up, I will send you a private message with the exact meeting point and payment details (Revolut) to confirm your attendance. Can't wait to meet you all and share this experience! ✨

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!

Join us for a series of short talks on possibly one of the oldest and most mysterious philosophical questions? Who am I? We will explore it from 3 perspectives: * Genetics * Neuroscience * Anthropolog **The Gene Delusion** What is a gene, and what it is not. Are we just our genes or are they part of a network of factors that makeup our biological identity? It is often imagined as the fundamental unit of life’s story—the script that writes who we are. But this view, though seductive, is incomplete. A gene is not a destiny coded in molecular ink; it is a participant in a vast, dynamic conversation. **Neuroscience and the Ghost in the Machine** In the long-standing dialogue between mind and brain, neuroscience has made remarkable strides in mapping the physical architecture of thought—tracing emotions, decisions, and memories to vast networks of neural activity. Yet the question remains: is the mind merely what the brain does, or is it something more—a modern echo of the “ghost in the machine”? **Anthropology – Consciousness Gateway to our essence** What is consciousness? Philosophy links it to our essence as human beings. How can we find our essence? It is described as finding our centre, to be within our centre – so it is linked to concentration (con centrum ‘to be within our center’). Mircea Eliade (Historian and Anthropologist) describes this search for, and idea of a centre from which all life emerges, as a very human endeavour. What makes us human? How do we connect with what is essentially human and our life force? *There will be a break with tea, coffee and cakes.*

**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.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God.

Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
