Bloomsday swim at Sandycove
Straw hats and Joycean attire not compulsory but certainly (heavily) encouraged. :-)
"Come forth, Lazarus. And he came fifth and lost the job"
(Ulysses, chapter 8).
Let's celebrate Bloomsday by having a swim in Joycean attire.
**Read**
The final lines of Molly's soliloquy (obviously not all 40 pages of it), will be read.
**Swim**
Let's have a dive into the snotgreen and scrotumtightening sea. The swim is at your own risk! We are no lifeguards and we only arrange the meeting point. Make sure you have enough layers to keep warm before and after the swim, bring something warm to drink too. Some wear wetsuits, others don't so, some want to swim a bit of distance, others just want dip and get out - it's your swim, do what you want and meet us after...
**Eat**
Having demonstrated our incredible bravery, we will continue our adventure at a local café (time and venue TBC later, will try and source one that hopefully provides Joycean fare). Eating and drinking are at your own risk too. Will your eyes be bigger than your stomach? Don't leave it too late to sign up for the swim so I can book enough seats in the café afterwards.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, post them in comments for this swim. Browse discussions if you want to ask about the group or other events.
See you on Sunday June 14.

Unexpected New Beginnings: The Paths We Didnât Plan
Some of the most important chapters of our lives begin in ways we never expected.
A move to a new country, the end of a relationship, a career change, a personal loss, a new opportunity, or simply a moment when life quietly takes us in a different direction.
For our first Pathmakers gathering, we will explore the unexpected beginnings that have shaped our journeys and the lessons, challenges and discoveries that came with them.
This is not a workshop, therapy session, coaching group or networking event.
It is a small and welcoming gathering where people can connect through meaningful conversation, active listening and shared perspectives.
You are welcome to share your story, listen to others, or simply be present. Every perspective is valuable.
Weâll gather over tea, conversation and a few shared treats in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
If youâd like, feel free to bring a small snack, fruit, biscuits or something simple to share with the group.
The intention is simple:
To create a space where we can reflect on the paths we didnât plan, learn from one anotherâs experiences and discover that there are often more people walking similar roads than we realize.
This gathering is free to attend. If you enjoy the experience and would like to support future Pathmakers gatherings, voluntary contributions are welcome (but never expected) to help cover Meetup platform costs and other small expenses related to hosting the community.
Limited to 6 participants to keep the conversation intimate and meaningful.
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
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 âŹ5 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!
