Spiritual Walk
If you have an interest in spiritual topics like Dreams, Past Lives, or Soul Travel, then join other like-hearted Souls in conversation and some exercise as we take a spiritual walk.
For our first Spiritual Walk this year, we will start from the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre in Dublin, which is pretty much in the centre of the Phoenix Park. You can easily drive there. To get there by public transport, you can use the red Luas line to get to Parkgate Street, near Heuston Station, then walk to the bus stop on Parkgate Street to get the 99 bus. The 99 bus leaves every 30 minutes and goes to the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre.
**Meeting Time**
We’ll meet at 12:00 pm at the Visitor Centre, and go for a stroll from there. The weather will probably determine our route, but one we can consider is to venture towards Farmleigh House and ramble around the grounds there.
**Our Walk**
While walking, we will try to be present in the moment, be mindful of our thoughts, observe what is presented to us and what comes into our awareness. We'd love to hear your stories and any spiritual insights you’d like to share. We’re also happy to answer any spiritual questions you may have, offering Eckankar’s view of life and spirituality.
**Food**
You can bring some food for a picnic, and for sharing if you like. There is a nice cafe at the Visitor Centre, but keep in mind, this closes at 4:30 pm.
You’re welcome to join us for as long as you wish to suit your own schedule. We’ll probably aim to return to the Visitor Centre around 3:00 pm.
All are welcome!
Howth - Walk Socialise and make new friends
All welcome to join in a tour of Howth by a local with knowledge of the area. Bring appropriate footwear as some paths can be muddy. The walk will involve an elevation walk to look out points in Howth and through woodlands. Come along, socialise and make new friends whilst exploring the beauty of the local area
Maker Night - Work on 3D projects using laser cutter, 3D Printer at TOG
**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?**
TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project.
All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make.
This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers.
We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist.
Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

Tuesday Evening Taught Life Drawing
**Tuesday Evening Taught Life Classes**
Book a place here **[http://dublinlifedrawing.com/taughtclass](http://dublinlifedrawing.com/taughtclass)**
Drawing from the figure has been part of an artist's basic training since ancient times, and for good reason. Drawing from observation teaches you how co-ordinate the eye and hand, and working from the nude model is the most rewarding kind of drawing.
A set of taught classes will explain fundamental aspects of drawing the figure, and give tips and show tricks of exploring the materials, methods and approaches to rendering the figure on paper.
This class is suitable for everyone- from beginners just starting off on their drawing journey, to more experienced people who want to build up their skills set. Basic techniques are outlined in every class, and then more complex exercises are explored.
Drawing exercises take place in an easy, informal setting.
Measuring, sighting, and understanding negative space and shading are explored as well as basic anatomy and proportion.
Some easels and drawing boards are provided. Basic drawing materials and paper are included in the price (but feel free to bring your own).
[-Book Here](http://dublinlifedrawing.com/short-course)
Small class sizes with tuition and instruction will help with developing your own drawing methods and style. The teaching exercises are based on fine art practice but will be of great interest to illustrators, designers, and animators.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
