It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically, and cannot be paid for. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it. Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise it isn't your typical Meditation. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help. Ready to plug into your inner energy? A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation.

Thanks to all who came along last week! Going through the takeaways from week 1 reading. How open you are to share? Any obstacles to the task and morning pages Highlights Feedback

It’s a New Year and January has already given way to February. Many of us at TOG are keen vegetable growers and we’re now looking forward to spring and the growing season ahead. The harvest last year was super, so let’s hope for a repeat. Join us at TOG for a free seed and plant swap from 3 PM. We'll be planting lots of seeds on the day and hopefully no one will go away empty handed. We have lots of pots and we'll have a bag of potting compost too. If you have anything surplus that you'd like to share, why not bring it along.... seeds? plants? cuttings? We'd love to hear your own stories of what you like to plant in your own garden or space. Tell your friends and family about the event. If you're involved with any community gardens, then definitely tell them also. The kettle will be on all day with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits. From 7PM that same day, it’s our regular monthly Open Social event which you are welcome to join also. There’ll be pizza and plenty of chat and craic as usual. TOG is a non-profit space run by unpaid volunteers. Donations are always welcome.

This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and sate environment and open up about our lives freely. A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves. Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room. Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend. • **PRICE:** 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/ Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop. • **TIME:** We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55. Please be on time, to respect other members in the group. • **VENUE:** We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left. • **NOTE:** Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. The Growth Circle is an **exclusive, in-person gathering** for professionals who are done with loud bars, random networking, and unstructured meetups. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **dedicated private room in a bar** — intentionally separated from the public area. This means: * no background noise * no interruptions * no competing conversations Just a room designed for **real focus and meaningful exchange**. ### **What this is (and what it isn’t)** This is: * a space to reflect, reset, and refocus * a room where action matters more than titles * a community built around **doing**, not talking This is not: * a casual after-work hangout * a place to collect contacts * a “free inspiration” event ### **Why there’s a €9.99 fee** Most people don’t mind paying — they mind paying for the **wrong experience**. This fee exists to prevent: * uncommitted drop-ins * people who just want to network without contributing * wasted time and low-energy rooms The result: * everyone arrives prepared * conversations stay intentional * the experience stays worth coming back to ### **Who this circle is for** ✔ Growth-minded professionals & founders ✔ People who respect their own time ✔ Those who want to leave feeling clearer than they arrived ### **Selection & Quality Control** Places are limited and **personally selected**. Not everyone will be accepted — and that’s intentional. The goal is a room where **every person adds value**.

Social Entrepreneurship Meetup 🌳 As the afternoon light settles over the city and the garden of the Museum of Literature Ireland comes alive with its quiet charm, we gather at MoLI Café for the meetup — to dream, to connect, and to create together. We welcome those who are interested in making a positive difference — through projects, creativity, entrepreneurship, purpose-driven work, art, education, or technology. Whether you have an organization, a plan, or just a quiet impulse to make things better — you're welcome. The only thing that matters is the desire to make positive change — and to find others who feel the same. To find your tribe. \-\-\- 🌀 The format This is a casual, open meetup — no agenda, no speakers, no pressure. You can talk about projects, ideas, visions — or simply enjoy being around people who dream and feel like you do. \-\-\- ✨ What starts as a coffee can grow into something greater.

Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside! [https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc](https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc) Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!
