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.
Location:
We hold our meetings in the small hall at Sandyford Community Centre, Lambs Cross, Sandyford, Dublin 18.
Python Ireland March 2026 Meetup
**Talk: Skill Estimation, Agents and the Condorcet Jury theorem.**
The Condorcet Jury Theorem promises that groups are smarter than individuals — add more voices, get closer to the truth. But the theorem has a poison pill: it only works when people think independently. In this talk we'll use PyMC to build a Bayesian model that stress-tests collective decision-making, simulating how shared training, correlated thinking, and organisational "alignment" can quietly destroy the engine of collective intelligence. The results raise uncomfortable questions about what happens when everyone's reasoning runs through the same foundation model. If you're interested in Bayesian modelling, probabilistic programming, or just want a principled way to think about the epistemic cost of your AI toolchain, this one's for you.

**Talk: Learning MongoDB CRUD the Agentic Way: A Python Learning Coach in Your IDE.**
Instead of another slide deck on CRUD, we’ll turn the MongoDB CRUD Operations Skill Badge into a live, IDE-based learning experience. You’ll see how to use agentskills.io to give a copilot agent concrete MongoDB teaching skills so it can coach you through queries, inserts, updates, and deletes right where you write your code.

Agentic commerce developer workshop - Dublin
**Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll build an agentic commerce solution and explore how AI agents can discover products and complete payments using Stripe.**
**About**
Experience a hands-on workshop designed for developers interested in the future of AI-driven commerce and agentic payments.
This workshop is the very first time this content has ever been delivered. It is a pilot workshop for Stripe Sessions, and attendees will get early access to technology and workflows that are still very new inside Stripe.
The way customers discover and purchase products is shifting from traditional search to LLM-powered agents. In this workshop, you’ll customize an AI agent to become an intelligent shopping assistant capable of discovering products and completing transactions.
**Through practical exercises, you will:**
* Customize an AI agent for commerce workflows
* Implement Shared Payment Tokens (SPT) using the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)
* Enable secure payment credential handoff from an AI agent to Stripe
* Process payments and perform risk evaluation through Stripe
* Build a complete end-to-end agentic commerce experience
Because this is a pilot workshop, the content is evolving and highly experimental. Participants will be among the first developers anywhere to build an agentic commerce integration with Stripe.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a fully functioning agentic commerce solution complete with code, equipping you with the skills to build next-generation AI-powered buying experiences.

Social Drawing
We are organizing this event for people that want to explore their creativity and practice expressing themselves through drawing.
The event contains a variety of small games and exercises to connect with others in a fun and original way.
A lot of times we find ourselves stuck with a problem or thought, either consciously or unconsciously. Being able to draw or doodle about it can often help. When I felt stuck in life, it gave me a lot of inspiration to draw how I felt. It was always a creative and refreshing way of structuring my problem and looking at it from a different perspective. I’m now looking forward to practicing more of this.
I will bring paper and pens, that we need for the exercises. Feel free to bring your own drawing tools (colors, sketchbooks, pencils, etc.).
No drawing experience is required
Details:
**Time:** Thursday 04-12-2025, 7:25pm to 9pm
**Location:** abbey presbyterian church (Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1, Ireland) top floor
**Cost:** We ask a €5 fee to pay for the venue and help support the group

We will explore ways to express emotions, thoughts, images and experiences, by creating a safe environment without judgement.
Anyone is welcome to attend and no dance experience is required.
**Location:** We are meeting at Studio 1 of The LAB.

Spring Weekend Retreat
Ready for an overnight retreat? Our weekend retreats are a great place to start if you’ve established a mindfulness practice or taken a mindfulness class and you’re ready to take it to the “next level.” A weekend retreat is also a wonderful way to renew and refresh a long-standing practice. Our lives as mindfulness practitioners deepen when we’re ready to enter into the sustained practice of retreat.
This residential retreat will be held mostly in silence at the beautiful [Samish Island Campground and Retreat Center](https://www.campsamish.org/) and will include a series of gently guided mindfulness practices including sitting meditation, walking meditation, gentle yoga, and the body scan.
Informative talks on the process of being on retreat, mindfulness, stress reactivity, and other topics will be presented by the instructor. Small and large group discussion at the beginning and end of the weekend will center around our experience together walking, sitting, and breathing in the quiet of the beautiful retreat site.
### SCHEDULE DETAILS
* Starts Friday with 4pm – 5pm check in followed by dinner and an orientation, after which we will begin our silence.
* Saturday is a full day of silent practice (6:30am to 8:30pm with breaks after the meals).

The Arts & Community: Creativity as a Catalyst for Connection
What role do the arts play in building strong, vibrant communities? How can creativity bring people together across differences, spark dialogue, and strengthen our shared sense of belonging?
Join us for an open, engaging discussion on how visual art, music, theater, literature, film, and public art contribute to community life.
Whether you’re an artist, arts supporter, educator, organizer, or simply someone who values culture, this conversation is for you.
We’ll explore questions such as:
* How do the arts create connection across cultural, generational, and social divides?
* Can creative expression help communities heal after conflict or crisis?
This is a dialogue — not a lecture — designed to surface diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Expect thoughtful conversation and opportunities to imagine new possibilities together.
**All are welcome.**
Finding What Has Energy - Creative Direction Lab
**AI-Supported Creative Exploration**
*For Unassuming Intuitives & Practicing Creatives*
(Please note that this event has not been organized or endorsed by The Writer's Center.)
This meetup is part of AI as Creative Partner — A Practice Group, a set of open, non-sequential creative labs you can join at any point.
We use AI as a thinking partner—not to replace your ideas, but to help surface and shape them without overthinking or pressure.
You bring fragments—ideas, impulses, unfinished concepts. With AI as a supportive collaborator, we explore how those fragments can become clearer, more coherent, and ready to share if and when you want to.
No technical background is required. If you can talk or type, that's enough to work with AI here.
This session is intentionally low-commitment and flexible:
* Arrive late or leave early
* Work quietly or observe
* Ask questions, or simply watch the process unfold
There's no presentation and no expectation to finish anything. Showing up as you are is enough.
**FINDING WHAT HAS ENERGY - CREATIVE DIRECTION LAB**
Many people don't struggle with ideas—they struggle with direction.
This open lab is loosely oriented around noticing which ideas have energy and which ones don't, using AI as a reflective partner.
There's no expectation to finish anything. This session is about sensing, testing, and trusting what responds.
**HOW TO FIND US**
Look for the room with the door open on the lower level. Look for the guy with the screen projector and ambient light and sound. Feel free to just walk in and settle.
**(*This is an independent meetup using rental space at The Writer's Center. The Writer's Center has not organized or endorsed this event.*)**
