Join us this Saturday morning for a self-awareness experience through dance, where the focus is not just on movement, but on giving yourself full permission to be seen, felt, and expressed. 💃🏽✨ This is a recurrent class happening in a lovely dance studio, filled with incredible females. We often stay for lunch together at a café of our choice, because community is part of the experience. In the sessions, we usually explore: • Grounded hip movement and natural body isolation • Combinations focused on flow and expression • Musicality and rhythm connection • Confidence through dynamic footwork • Your authentic, inner energy. This will arise naturally as you move without holding back This class is open to **all levels**. We've been working on a choreography for the past month but you'll surely get a lot out of the class even if you have never seen the coreo. Here, choreographies are just a means of self-expression. This space is for you to explore yourself and connect with others. Expect warmth, laughter, a little challenge and a deep release. Let’s move, be present and awaken our vital force together ❤️‍🔥 **Location:** The Liffey Trust Studios, Studio 5 **When:** Saturdays **Time:** 11:00 To reserve your spot, please join this event and complete the payment: • **Drop-in class:** €16 Payment link: [revolut.me/mariafxfqd](revolut.me/mariafxfqd) A monthly plan is offered for €60 if you decide you want to become a regular. Reconnect with your true self through movement and community 🧡

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!
