Music Makers Live performance session.
Music Makers Live performance session.
This is one of our performance sessions. Microphones, PA, Speakers and lights on a stage setting. These sessions give members the opportunity to perform in public, so you can bring along your friends and family to see you perform. There are limited performance spaces so the first 20 performers will get a slot on the night. Please note this is only open to members that attend our weekly Meetup sessions on a regular enough basis. Each performer should have 2 songs and an additional back up just in case we are running ahead of time on the night. I suggest you update the comment field with your song list so others can avoid duplication. We booked the room in The Halfway House, Ashtown, Navan Road. Admission is €7.00 pay at the door (Revolut accepted) on the night. Finger food will be served. The venue is serviced by bus and the Maynooth train.

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!

Let’s play… Never Stop Blowing Up! / Marvel Universe RPG
Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 📼 **Flo** with *[Never Stop Blowing Up!](https://store.dropout.tv/products/never-stop-blowing-up-game-system)*[ ](https://store.dropout.tv/products/never-stop-blowing-up-game-system) \- a rules\-light\, dice\-exploding game as seen on Dimension 20\. You are Action Heroes of the modern world banding together to fight the good fight and stop the dastardly villain in the most ludicrous and dramatic way possible\! Expect heists\, chase scenes\, stealth\, hand to hand combat\, hacking\, gun fighting and explosions probably all happening at the same time\! * 🦸 **Dave** *[Marvel Universe RPG](https://www.marvel.com/rpg)* \- a fast\, diceless system where actions are resolved by spending energy\. The X\-Men are busy fighting the Brotherhood\. The Avengers and the Fantastic Four are stopping yet another alien invasion\. Spidey and Daredevil are dealing with the worst crime bosses in the city\. So when a dangerous new drug called R starts spreading among human and mutant kids\, the Mayor of New York calls your team: “Track the source\. Cut the supply\. Find who’s behind it before the drug spreads further\.” Your team includes heroes who can fly\, teleport across the city\, bend steel with their bare hands\, and blast devastating energy\, but whoever is behind the R\-drug is not just another street gang\. You will have to investigate the streets and take down anyone standing in your way\, without leveling half of New York and its honest citizens in the process\. *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).
