The main topic of this discussion is going to be about the Multi Billion Dollars market for UAM Flying Bikes/Cars/Taxi and Vertical Take Off Aircraft (VTOL) developments and aerodynamic designs for VTOL aircraft. A.I.L Technologies flying Bike Clip: Cost $730,000 Dollars!😂😅 Anyone want to buy one? Is it worth the cost? https://youtu.be/Nt9bTGxIr8I This Company has now closed down in January 2024; https://evtol.news/ali-technologies-hover-bike/ This flying bike's cost is as much as to purchase the Hills HX 50 5 seater helicopter. The HX50 has major advantages compared to the A.I.L flying bike. So which one would you buy given the fact of the flying bike flight limitations compared to the Hills HX 50 5 seat high speed helicopter. https://www.hillhelicopters.com We can discuss some related past VTOL projects to the latest advanced high speed Hybrid Helicopters/Tilt Rotor design concepts. We will also look into the newest multi billion dollar rise of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) VTOL flying bikes/cars being developed,built and testex in the US and around the world.

Booking is essential on [dublinbuddhistcentre.org](https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/transforming-work/) Starts Monday 18th May, 6.30 - 8.45pm For most people work is an unavoidable fact of life. Work makes people and breaks people. Work can be extremely challenging and is often where our values and ideals come into direct conflict with outside forces and objective demands. How can we meet these challenges meaningfully and effectively? How can we bring Buddhist principles and practices into our work? On this 5-week course we’ll be developing an insightful attitude to work that will help us to be more genuinely creative and productive. Rather than seeing work as a necessary evil we’ll see how we can embrace work as an opportunity to create positive connections with others and free ourselves from unhelpful habits. **Cost** We do tiered pricing, depending on the circumstances. * €150 waged * €120 low-waged * €90 unwaged * €75 for under-25 To book your place, go to [https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/transforming-work/](https://dublinbuddhistcentre.org/events/transforming-work/)

The inaugural meeting of the Irish Society for the Follicly Challenged. Hosted by Patrick, founder and CBO (Chief Bald Officer). Stop by, have a drink, and let's get our heads together.

**An evening for over-givers** I asked the people who follow my work: "What's harder for you: giving or receiving?" The answers came back almost identical. Giving is easy. Receiving doesn't always come naturally. People described it as a burden, a debt, an awkwardness, a thing they'd been taught they had to earn first. One person said, "It's safer not to want." Most of us were trained to be *over-developed givers* and under-developed receivers, and we live the rest of our lives slightly off-balance because of it. The Relating Lab is a 105-minute group session to explore this topic, guided by a psychologist. **Who this is for** * You can give for hours. Receiving for five minutes feels strange. * When someone gives you something, you feel like you owe them something back. * You don't always know what you actually want. * You notice yourself trying to be worthy of the good things in your life. * You wish for more affection in your friendships without awkwardness. * You suspect that the way you were taught about love and worth in childhood is still running quietly in the background. **What we'll do** * A guided meditation on a recent moment when receiving felt hard * Paired work with a simple exercise that can change how you understand every interaction in your life. * A closing sound bath where you receive together. * A closing circle. **What this is not** This is not therapy. Not a workshop you'll have to perform at. Not a "share your trauma" circle. Just come as you are and give this topic the time it deserves. *Your only task is to **receive**. Not to deserve it. Not to repay it. Not to make anything happen. Just let it land.* **The practical bits** Sunday 31 May, 4–5:45 pm. Calm Rooms, Monkstown. €27. Up to 15 seats. RSVP through this Meetup. Wear something comfortable that you can sit on the floor in. Bring a water bottle. **About me** I'm Olena. I'm a psychologist (PSI graduate member), doing a PhD in organisational psychology, with somatic and consent-based training on top. I run cacao ceremonies and cuddle therapy sessions in Dublin. The Relating Lab is a series of four events that I'll be running monthly through the summer. Each event is focused on a different quadrant of the Wheel of Consent. This is the entry point. Come and share this space with like-minded people. **Everything is opt-in.** You can pass on any exercise without explaining why. This event is an introduction to future workshops about giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. It's a safe space; the exercises might include some platonic touch (if you opt in). Every participant is invited to come with reverence for others in the group.

MCKS PRANIC HEALING® Level I In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency. PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply. Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1: Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body. Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment. Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.

You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis. Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you. All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
