**Need a gentle midweek reset? Bring a book, enjoy some quiet reading, and meet new people in a warm, curated setting at Ruby Molly.** **Entry is €7, payable on arrival by cash or card.** Join Quality Time Dublin for a cosy evening of books, conversation, and calm connection. This is a low-pressure social event for people who want a softer kind of night out — somewhere to unwind, read, and chat with like-minded people in a relaxed, welcoming space. Come solo or bring a friend, settle in with your book, and enjoy an evening that starts quietly and opens naturally into friendly conversation. Whether you’re hoping to meet new people, get back into reading, or simply enjoy some quality time away from the usual routine, this is a lovely way to spend a Wednesday evening. Please bring: * A book you’re currently reading, or one you’ve been meaning to start. * Yourself, and a willingness to enjoy a calm, friendly atmosphere. If you’ve been craving a social event that feels thoughtful rather than overwhelming, this is for you. **Dublin deserves more Quality Time.** Let's make it a habit together. 📵✨ **Love, Maja & Lexie** 🦄🦆📚\* (The Quality Time Team)\*

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
