Adults Recess
Adults Recess
### **Let’s Reconnect & Play** (Paid event) \#\#\# Hello everyone\, and welcome to our community\! Our daily lives can get so stressful and overwhelming between work, study, and endless adult responsibilities. We created this group because we wanted to design a safe space to just be, enjoy the present moment, and disconnect from all the digital noise—social media, algorithms, and daily anxiety. After our first session success, We are happy to announce our second session. This is a special, intimate gathering to try out our dynamics before we launch our regular events to the general public. **What to expect:** * A gentle grounding and meditation practice: A space to arrive, breathe, and leave the rush of the city behind. * Original group games & creative activities: Fun, low-pressure dynamics designed to break the ice, laugh, and reconnect with your "inner child." * A cozy space for reflection: A moment to share how we feel and build authentic human connections. **The details:** 📅 **When:** June 7th 12:00 PM **Capacity:** Limited to 15 spots per session 📍 **Where:** National Botanical Gardens (Meeting point will be disclosed once the payment confirmation has been done) 🎟️ **Fee:** 15€ ( Due to limited spots and prep costs, all workshop ticket sales are final and no refunds will be issued) **All you have to bring is great attitude and your yoga mat!** The limited number of spots is to keep the group small, safe, and meaningful. If you feel like you need a "digital detox" and a bit of genuine play in your life, RSVP to secure your spot! Once you sign up, I will send you a private message with the payment details (Revolut) to confirm your attendance. Can't wait to meet you all and share this experience! ✨

Sunday Evening Zazen meditation
Sunday Evening Zazen meditation
Join us for Zazen Meditation. please arrive at 6pm. newcomers please arrive at 5.45 for an introduction to Zazen meditation.
Zazen Meditation + Dharma talk or Kinhin
Zazen Meditation + Dharma talk or Kinhin
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!
