The word “Gursha” refers to the act of feeding someone with your hands and is a gesture of love and friendship.”

[Gursha](https://www.gursha.ie/)
[Gursha Insta](https://www.instagram.com/gursha_ie?igsh=MXZtbDYzbXg4bTJkNg==)
This event is free to attend, but please note the following:
• Due to an increasing number of no-shows, last minute RSVP and the fact that some restaurants require a deposit for reservations, a deposit will now be required via [Revolut](https://revolut.me/aphidethp). It will be deducted from your bill. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable.
• The restaurant will apply a service fee for groups, typically around 1%.
• Each participant is responsible for paying for their own food and drinks.
• Some restaurants may not split the bill, so to keep things smooth and hassle-free, it’s a good idea to bring some cash or have Revolut ready for easy payments.
• If a restaurant requires a booking fee, we may need to consider alternative venues to ensure a seamless experience for everyone.
• RSVP updates are essential: If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP so others on the waiting list can join. This also helps us manage reservations more effectively.

🍀 Meetup: Ireland — Land, Language & the Art of Resilience
🎙 Co-Hosted with Conor
Not a lecture. Not tea. A long Irish meal and an interactive discussion.
Join us for a shared conversation on Irish history, focusing on land, language, resistance, and resilience. This is participatory, informal, and shaped by the group — stories, questions, reflections, and the odd disagreement all welcome.
We’ll explore:
• Why land in Ireland was never neutral
• How language became identity and resistance
• Resistance in everyday and organised forms
• Resilience as something slow, collective, and deeply practical
We’ll:
• Untangle myth from lived reality (without killing the poetry)
• Look at how ordinary people navigated extraordinary pressures
• Ask why these histories still show up in language, land debates, and national mood
• Acknowledge that humour has always been one of Ireland’s survival tools
There will be storytelling, discussion, mild irreverence, and a respectful refusal to oversimplify.
