Meditation practice, Buddhist Dharma discussion and Chinese qi-gong exercises
• What we'll do
About us:
The Tibetan Dharma and Meditation Group is part of a Buddhist organisation based in Taiwan, which is centred on one of the greatest living rinpoches (teachers) in the world at the moment. It aims to introduce people living in Ireland to Buddhist teachings and practices that have been passed to Rinpoche through his masters and their masters going back many, many generations in order to benefit and bring peace to all sentient beings.

Dublin's Newest Language Exchange
Most language exchanges are built around **movement**. —fast rotations, brief chats, surface-level conversation.
New table. New person. Start again.
It feels productive. It isn’t.
Real conversations don’t happen in 10 minutes.
They start there. Then they get interesting.
At Flip Lingoes, **you stay.**
Same table. Same group. Enough time for real conversation and real connection, beyond the surface level.
Every 5 minutes, you switch roles: **fluent speaker ↔ learner**, not people.
Before you arrive, **[create a profile here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/)**[,](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/) tell us what language you're learning.
This helps our **automated matching algorithm** put you in the right small group.
No awkward searching. No guesswork. Simply scan the QR code on arrival and it automatically matches you with fluent speakers of your target language.
We host events at Zanzibar Locke: calm, well-designed, easy to hear, easy to focus.
***
**Event Flow**
6:45–7:15 → Seamless check-in (QR code, get matched, sit down)
7:15–8:30 → Language Exchange (structured, focused)
8:30 → Optional social + snacks included
**Crispy chicken wings. Cheesy loaded nachos.** Straight from Zanzibar Locke’s kitchen. Perfect for chatting, relaxing, and refueling after a great language session.
**Entry:** €8 (tasty snacks included)
**Bundles:** 4 events €24 \| 10 events €50\, purchase [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/?pricing_filter=in_person#bundles-section) in advance for express check in. Save time and money.
**Be generous and invite a friend for free:**
It's simple. Create a profile [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/), log in, and click “**Invite Friend** to sign up.” It generates a link and you send that to them. Easy and your friend will thank you later ;)
If they register for the event before you, you both get free entry.🙌
\*P.S We ask if you consider to buy a drink at the bar upon arrival and support their venue and excellent hospitality in the heart of Dublin.
***
**Why Flip Lingoes works:**
* Go deeper: longer conversations at the same table
* Speak with the right people via automated matching
* Smooth, calm, focused environment
* Fun social finish
If you’re tired of restarting conversations and want to **actually speak beyond the greeting and small talk**, this is your place.
[Flip Lingoes](https://www.fliplingoes.com) is a new and innovative language exchange event, with a clear vision: **To upgrade language exchange events online and in cities around the world.** Currently in Dublin, Zurich and Online. **Can you guess our next city?**

AI, Agents & NASA: An Evening with IBM Research
Welcome to an evening with IBM Research where we discuss AI, Agents, NASA and everything in between.
An event hosted by **IBM Research** \- PyData Ireland is excited to be a community partner\.
This is an inaugural **Open Source Science Dublin** meetup, where cutting-edge scientific research meets open-source technology, AI, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Expect **technical deep dives**, **cross-disciplinary conversations**, and (of course) **pizza** 🍕.
For this first event, we’re exploring one of the most exciting frontiers today: **agentic systems for scientific discovery**, and how autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems are transforming the way research is conducted, validated, and scaled.
You’ll see real-world systems in action, hear from both applied and research perspectives, and walk away with a clearer picture of how agents are moving from hype to scientific infrastructure.
## **Talks**
**Accelerated Knowledge Discovery at NASA: Building an Agentic AI Research Companion**
* **Speaker:** James Barry, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research
* **Description:** A practical look at NASA’s AKD platform: a chat-driven frontend orchestrating a multi-agent backend (planner + literature/data/code search) to turn questions into traceable, end-to-end scientific research—faster, more systematic, and with human oversight.
**Production-Ready AI Agents: Containerization, Sandboxes, and the LangChain Stack**
* **Speaker:** Fabio Lorenzi, Staff Research Scientist, IBM Research
* **Description:** Building secure, scalable AI agents for industrial time series analysis using isolated code execution, LangGraph for agent orchestration, and FastAPI for production deployment—bridging foundation models and real-world maintenance workflows.
**Science in the Agentic Era: Structured Experimentation with *ado***
* **Speaker:** Michael Johnston, STSM, Discovery Systems; Manager, Next Generation Systems, IBM Research
* **Description:** A research-first framework for agent-assisted discovery: *ado* encodes the problem space and experimental plan as schemas, enabling agents to propose and refine studies while keeping every run transparent, reproducible, and scientifically auditable.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
