**Experience a Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony in Dublin** My name is Takanari Nishi. My wife, Akie, has participated in Japanese tea ceremonies in Japan, London, and Frankfurt, and we now live in Cork. She will be leading the tea ceremony at this Meetup. Would you like to experience the rich traditions of the Japanese tea ceremony? During this gathering, you will have the opportunity to witness both traditional and modern approaches to the preparation and serving of tea. The Japanese tea ceremony is an art form that dates back more than 1,000 years. It is not merely about drinking tea, but a carefully choreographed ritual of graceful and deliberate movements. Becoming a tea master requires at least 10 years of dedicated study and practice. The essence of the tea ceremony lies in Harmony (和), Respect (敬), Purity (清), and Tranquility (寂). The ceremony embodies the spirit of Japanese hospitality. Please enjoy this special opportunity, known in Japanese as 一期一会 (Ichigo-Ichie) — “a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.” We are pleased to welcome you to the Shumei Ireland Center in Douglas, Cork. **Location:** Oscailt Integrative Health Centre 8 Pembroke Rd, Dublin **Event Fee:** €5 (includes matcha tea and a Japanese sweet) We appreciate advance payment. **Schedule:** 14:45–15:00 — Check-in 15:00–16:00 — Japanese Tea Ceremony 16:00–16:30 — Optional: Japanese Energy Healing Experience If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

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!

Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when it’s time to respond? Join a relaxed **French conversation group** where we use **real news stories** as a way to practise **speaking French** in a natural and structured way. This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you **practise speaking** through real-life content. \#\# 📰 THIS SESSION’S TOPIC : A REAL NEWS STORY In this session, we will work with a short French news extract about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. \#\# 🎥 BEFORE THE SESSION Before the meetup, you will watch a short French news video about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. This video will give you the key vocabulary and context so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session. You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas. \#\# 💬 DURING THE MEETUP We will use the news story as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice. You will be guided through conversation questions to help you : * describe what happened in the story * to identify / describe someone involved in the story * situate events in time and space * to express a hypothesis. You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence. \#\# 🗣️ ACTIVITY FORMAT The session will include : * group discussion based on the video * guided speaking questions * interactive conversation practice * a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario \#\# 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE By the end of the session, you will have practised how to : * speak more spontaneously in French * understand and react to real French content * build confidence when expressing ideas * move from “I understand” to “I can respond” \#\# 🌿 ATMOSPHERE This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection. \#\# 👥LEVEL Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences). \#\# ⭐ Free event – feedback appreciated This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups. At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions. \#\# 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions

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/)
