Twin Hearts meditation in Rush
The Twin Hearts Meditation was developed by Master Choa Kok Sui to help flush out negative thoughts and emotions that congest our mind and body every day.
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.
COST: Donation Box
(Donations cover the cost of the room and proceeds are then donated to Pranic Healing Charity Ireland)
Monthly Meetup in the pub
We will try to secure a table downstairs in the venue in order to keep the location consistent.
New people who know nothing about Linux are welcome and encouraged to attend, please don't be shy.
If you are new please feel free to approach one of the organisers, and we'd be only happy to help explain things as best as we can, we honestly don't mind and don't judge. We were new once ourselves :)
Please note that in general, these are adult friendly meetups, therefore, we are not responsible for those under 18 in attendance. We may have events targeted at children in the future.
As with any Meetup, please try to stick to your RSVP or change it to No if you can't come.

This group is all about hosting a monthly in-person book club right here in Dublin City!
If you're into the book we're reading and want to chat about it with others, this is the perfect spot for you. We'll meet for about 1-2 hours, enjoy some drinks and/or food, and dive into the book of the month—sharing our thoughts, exploring themes, and swapping recommendations for future reads.
We suggest a €2 voluntary contribution per person to help cover MeetUp fees (cash or Revolut works). See you there!
Sound healing, Meditation & Connection in Dublin 12
Saturday 28th of march at 12:00pm give yourself the gift of sound & stillness✨💜
This immersive sound journey is a sacred space to pause, reflect, and consciously set intentions.
Small group sessions are held in my home Sanctuary in Dublin 12.
This is a payed session a 30 euros energy exchange applies, to confirm your attendance you must email to info@soundsouljourney.com and a 10 euros deposit must be payed
A Sound Journey is a deeply restorative experience designed to harmonize your energy, promote relaxation, and facilitate healing.
What to Expect in the Session:
Gentle Pranayama (Breathwork) – We begin with simple breathing exercises to open the energy channels (nadis) in the body, preparing you to receive the benefits of sound and Reiki. This helps calm the nervous system and cultivate a state of presence.
Guided Meditation with Sound & Vibrations – As you settle into relaxation, you will be guided through a meditation accompanied by the soothing tones of Tibetan bowls. Their vibrations help bring balance to your energy centers (chakras) and deepen your meditative state
Himalayan Bowl Healing – the sound healer will use Himalayan bowls near or on the body, allowing the vibrations and specific frequencies to work at a cellular level restoring balance to you fisical, emotional and mental levels
Closing Sound Bath – The session concludes with an immersive sound bath, where a combination of instruments—such as Tibetan bowls, chimes, gongs, drums ...—create a soothing soundscape, allowing your mind and body to fully integrate the healing experience.
By the end of the session we'll enjoy a cup of yogi tea, time to share, connect and integrate the practice.
No previous experience is needed, just bring your intention and I'll provide everything else
love & light

Compassion Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
reviving gardans, Growing community
**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.

Would you like to try Jyorei - Japanese Energy Healing in Dublin ?
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.

**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

Tutorial 9 – Object Detection using DETR (Meta AI) with Hugging Face & PyTorch
My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick.
I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people.
\*\*In this tutorial, we will build an end‑to‑end object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fine‑tuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab.
**The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.**
**For more information about the tutorials:**
* The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around €10 which can last several months depending on your usage.
Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace.
* The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours.
* During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way.
* The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects
* We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets.
* Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications.
This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**.
**Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2**
* The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part!
* *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*

In person peer-led support group for survivors of complex trauma
**Complex Trauma Support Group**
Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you.
We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD.
**What to expect at your first meeting:**
Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge.
We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit.
Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time.
The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other.
You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
