Bring a book wrapped in a gift cover(used or new book) or newspaper and discuss with the fellow book lovers about the theme of the book. Exchange the gift! You are allowed to share the theme of the book who likes it, then exchange the gift with the attendee. Then socialize! It's a perfect place to surprise fellow book lovers. ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!

Alan SAIPAN Directed by: Glenn Leyburn, Lisa Barros D’Sa Release Date: 23/01/2026 Genre: Drama, History Synopsis: SAIPAN explores the explosive clash between soccer star Roy Keane and manager Mick McCarthy before the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Their feud, rooted in clashing standards and personalities, erupted on the island of Saipan, shaking the Irish team and nation. As Keane walked out, McCarthy faced chaos. This gripping true story goes beyond sport, it’s a dramatic, often comic tale of leadership, loyalty, and a rivalry that captured global attention.

Full Moon Sound Journey & New Year Intention Meditation January 4th at 5:30pm in my cozy home Studio in Crumlin rd. Address will be shared with attendees upon receiving payment. Step into the luminous energy of the first full moon of the year and begin your New Year with clarity, alignment, and deep renewal. This immersive sound journey is a sacred space to pause, reflect, and consciously set intentions for the year ahead. Guided meditation will gently lead you inward, helping you release what no longer serves you from the past year and open to new possibilities with presence and purpose. As your intentions take root, you’ll be bathed in a healing soundscape of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant instruments, designed to calm the nervous system, balance energy, and invite profound rest. The full moon amplifies awareness and manifestation—making this an ideal time to connect with your inner wisdom, clarify your desires, and anchor them into the body and heart. No prior meditation or sound healing experience is needed; simply arrive as you are and allow yourself to receive. ✨ Expect: Gentle guided meditation for reflection and intention-setting A deeply restorative full-body sound journey Space for stillness, clarity, and energetic renewal A grounding yet expansive start to the New Year Come lie down, breathe deeply, and let sound and silence guide you into 2024 with intention, balance, and light. 🌕
