Longing to belong
We are in the middle of a trilogy of topics that form a story. Our current series is around the theme of human flourishing. Last month we discussed beauty. This month we will look at how the role ‘home’ plays in our well-being. Then in June we will ask what roles do nature and nurture play in our lives?
**What about a sense of ‘belonging’?**
“Ah, it’s good to be home,” we say after a time of travel or business. We move to a new city or country and feel a disorientation or rootlessness. We lack a familiarity sense of place and relationships. The modern world is not a village where you know your grocer by their first name. Some may call it ‘home.’ But what is home: A building? A geographical location? A feeling in the heart and soul? A place populated by people we love or are perhaps related to? How about those who live in a country other than their country of origin: what might they think about the whole matter of home?
You are welcome to come along to discuss "Longing to belong" on Tuesday, 12.May at Third Space Smithfield.
NOTE: we ask for a 3 Euro donation to cover costs. Payable on the night by coin or Revolut. Thanks
Socrates Cafe: a space where ideas and dialogue can flourish
Impro journaling
Do you often think you should journal more and struggle to find a time that feels "right"? Does journaling improve your understanding of yourself and others? Do you feel that sharing can make this understanding even clearer and help you connect with others?
Join us for our 1.5 hours impro journaling event. We will have some exercises prepared that will help you to be present to your emotions and thoughts as well as connect with others.
Please, notice that everything that is shared during the events is confidential, and that you can share as much as you feel comfortable sharing.
LOCATION: Starbucks Stillorgan, Unit 44/45 Stillorgan Village Centre, Lower Kilmacud Rd, Stillorgan, Dublin, A94 C840
FEE: 5 € to cover costs (Revolut/Cash). Please pay the fee after the event, and please buy yourself a drink before or after the event to support the venue.
NOTE 1: No writing experience is required to attend this event. Only a curiosity in ourselves and others.
NOTE 2: Please provide your own notebook/paper and pen.
Overcoming Trauma | Free Lecture in DUBLIN 24
### **Have you never fully recovered from a Trauma? 💔**
Some Traumas cut so deep you never quite bounce back. Suddenly life just feels different. Heavier. Like something inside you broke… and never got put back together.

Why does our drive, our joy, our sense of being *“ourselves”* fade away?
And most important: **Is there anything you can do about it? ✨**
👉 **Attend our free lecture in Dublin.**
### **Past Traumas – a new understanding and the way forward**
At this **free live talk**, you’ll discover:
• An explanation of how your mind works — and why you haven’t healed yet 🧩
• Insight into where your vitality went and how to get it back ⚡
• Concrete tools for moving past a Trauma and finding yourself again 🌱

Hello there!
Learn to Meditate in 2026 - Free 10 Week Ongoing Sahaja Yoga Meditation Course - hosted by Jayant, Violeta, Vivek, Seamus and friends every Tuesday - All Welcome - Join any Week -
The address:
Fringe Lab, Sycamore Building, Sycamore Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, DO2 TD81 - on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm until 9:00 pm
With Sahaja Yoga Meditation, we usually sit on chairs to achieve yoga effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats or special clothing.
All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy is hiding in plain sight within us, and it's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable.
It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically, and cannot be paid for.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it.
Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise it isn't your typical Meditation. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help.
Ready to plug into your inner energy? A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation. It's all about energy — guaranteed pure and carbon neutral, and you can never have too much of it.
All classes are free. No strings, no catch. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend.

Finding Yourself Without Losing Yourself (forAges 18-25) w/ Akshay Kuchibhatla
**Finding Yourself Without Losing Yourself (for Ages 18-25) with Akshay Kuchibhatla**
## ***Join emerging Gen Z leader Akshay Kuchibhatla for this special workshop. Move beyond expectations and make choices that feel right for you.***
In a time when everyone is trying to figure out who they are, it’s easy to get pulled in different directions, by expectations, social media, relationships, and the pressure to “have it all together.” Somewhere along the way, many begin to feel disconnected from their true self.
This workshop is a space to pause, reset, and reconnect with your true self.
Come explore who you are at your core, beyond labels, trends, and outside opinions. Through guided reflection, real conversations, and simple mindfulness practices, you’ll gain clarity on your values, strengthen your inner voice, and learn how to make choices that feel right for you.
You don’t have to lose yourself to find yourself. You can grow, evolve, and still stay true.
Come as you are. Leave more connected, clear, and confident.
***Akshay Kuchibhatla*** *is a thoughtful and emerging Gen Z leader currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at George Mason University. Passionate about personal growth, self-awareness, and helping young people navigate life with clarity and purpose, Akshay brings a grounded and relatable perspective to conversations about identity, values, and inner strength.*

👉 Turn Your Lived Experience Into Multiple Books Using AI (Ashburn)
**Saturday • May 16 • 2–5 PM • Ashburn, VA**
Many people say they want to write a book someday — **this session helps you start.**
Your life experiences already contain stories, lessons, and insights that could become books. The real challenge is **how to organize those experiences and actually turn them into writing.**
In this interactive session, I’ll share the approach I’m using to build a **multi-book journey based on lived experience.**
So far I have:
📚 **3 books published on Amazon**
📖 **1 more books releasing this year** (end of the year)
📝 **16 additional books planned** — and likely many more.
This session is not about writing **just one book**.
We’ll explore how your experiences can evolve into **multiple books over time**, and how to **use AI the right way to speed up your writing while keeping your voice authentic.**
***
### What We’ll Explore
• Turning life experience into book ideas
• How one journey can become multiple books
• Simple ways to structure stories and lessons
• Using **AI to organize ideas and speed up writing**
• Practical strategies to actually finish a book
**Everyone will leave with the outline of their first book idea.**
**You don’t need writing experience — just curiosity about how your life experiences might turn into ideas worth sharing.**
***
### Event Details
💵 **$25 RSVP — includes coffee + snacks**
📍 **Ashburn, VA** (exact address shared after RSVP)
🕑 **2:00 PM – 5:00 PM**
👥 **Max 10 people** for a small, interactive conversation.
Most attendees are professionals, entrepreneurs, and people navigating reinvention or new chapters in life.
***
# Background — Writing & Reinvention Journey
Writing has been one of the most powerful tools in my own reinvention journey.
What began as reflections during a difficult life transition gradually evolved into published books and a growing body of work focused on reinvention, personal growth, and life transitions.
My goal is not just to write books — but to help others realize that their experiences may also hold stories worth sharing.
