We are excited to invite you to our May meeting. Please join us for a time of prayer and worship, and please stay for refreshments in the hall after the service. All welcome 😀🙏🏳️‍🌈

Hi all, When this trailer first appeared, this got my attention so let’s go to see some crime-solving sheep out to solve a murder this Sunday morning at 11:30 in Cineworld. **[The Sheep Detectives | Official Trailer](https://youtu.be/pyZI5oM6hWk?si=BzNJefzRh-eJfdU0)** We’ll meet for a quick chat and coffee/ breakfast at **Insomnia** on **Abbey Street** at c. 10:30am. Book your seats wherever you wish but many of us sit c. 3 rows from the back.

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!

When it is all done, we let mutual matches know — shared only when both sides chose each other — and the conversation continues on your terms. **Choose your age range below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Your seat is not locked yet:** An rsvp on this page is not a confirmed spot, so tap your age group link above, register fully, and complete the personality matching quiz — attendance is capped so register as soon as possible, and your seat is only secure once registration is complete. --- **Who it is for:** - Individuals within Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown who have given up on shallow connections that never lead anywhere and prefer meeting people in person first. - Anyone at all from around Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown who have had enough of profiles that never convert to actual dates and are serious about meeting someone. - Members based in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown moving beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are ready for a genuine first impression. **Step by step** 1. **Get started** – via your age group registration link, then finish the compatibility quiz, as both steps together confirm your attendance. 2. **Launch Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, laptop phone or tablet — your choice, all work fine, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Enjoy the rounds** – focused private rounds with Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown people sorted by age and quiz results, with round management all on the host, given that the matching was done before the evening started. 4. **See your mutual connections** – mutual match details are sent privately after the event, with unmatched selections never disclosed to anyone, and the follow-up is yours to manage however feels right. 💡 **Good to know:** prepare one or two opening questions, which takes the pressure off in the early rounds, and the host handles everything else from that point. --- ✨ It starts with one registration — pick your age group and sign up and we will see you online for this session. One click and you are on your way. 🥰 ✨

**\*\*\* We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 \*\*\*** Talk by Todd Nussbaum LGTM is not a Strategy Pull requests are where quality is won or lost, and too many teams still treat reviews with a rushed "LGTM". In this talk, you'll learn a practical, repeatable approach to high-quality PR reviews that balances speed with risk management - covering how to triage changes quickly, review in layers, and write comments that lead to better outcomes without friction. We'll also show how QA and developers bring complementary lenses to the same review, turning acceptance criteria, scenarios, and observability into shared responsibility instead of production surprises. You'll leave with a lightweight framework and concrete habits for authors and reviewers that make reviews faster, kinder, and more effective. **AGENDA:** * See updates to parking below * Doors open at 5:30, feel free to come and hang out before! * Official start of the meeting is at 6:30pm * After the meeting is done, we will go hang out at a nearby space in Bridge Park!
