😅 **I know I’m not supposed to… but I still do!** 🤦‍♂️ **I know I should… but somehow I just don’t.** 😬 **I want to be bolder… but I hold myself back.** 🧠 Is it even possible to **take control of my subconscious mind**? Think about how many opportunities you’ve missed or things you’ve held back from doing… all because of that weird feeling deep inside. Some folks call it **fear**, others say it’s an **inner voice**, or just a **strange vibe**. 🌫️ That feeling is really your **subconscious mind**—and it doesn’t exactly specialise in logical, well-thought-out decisions. 🤔 ### 🌌 **The Power of the Subconscious Mind** During our live presentation, you’ll get a **clear and down-to-earth** explanation of: * Exactly what your subconscious mind is * How it creates nagging, unwanted feelings * Why some people feel more stressed than others * What your subconscious is *really* trying to do to **you** This isn’t just another lecture where you sit quietly and listen. 🎤 It’s **interactive and live**, so you can ask any question at any time! 💬 And finally, we’ll tackle the biggest question of all: ✨ **How can you regain control of your subconscious mind?** ✨ 📅 **Reserve your seat today!** 🗓️ *Tuesday, 17 February 2026, 7PM* 📍 *Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin* Firhouse Road, Dublin D24 CX39 ####

It's a great time to drop in and see what the space is about. If you're an artist, tinkerer, maker or just plain curious, come in and see what the space is about. Maybe you already have something to work on (or want to), have something to fix, create, design, bodge or tinker... drop in. We're also open for just for plain old social chat and hang out, with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. We have lots of free parking right outside our door.

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.

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.

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. This is a **curated in-person meetup** for growth-minded professionals and founders who value **focus, depth, and action** over noise and small talk. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **private room inside a bar** — not in the middle of a loud crowd, not at shared tables, and not competing with background music. This space is intentionally chosen so that: * conversations can go deep * you can actually hear and think * your time feels **protected**, not diluted This is not a “drop-by networking event.” It’s a **deliberate environment for clarity, motivation, and execution**. ### **What makes this different** People often say: * “I hate loud bars where you can’t talk properly” * “I don’t want to pitch or be pitched” * “I don’t want to waste another evening with nice conversations and no outcome” This meetup is designed to avoid exactly that. Here, you: * come with clear goals * leave with concrete next steps * meet people who are **already taking action** ### **Why this is paid (€9.99)** The fee is not about exclusivity for its own sake. It’s about **commitment and quality**. Free meetups often lead to: * last-minute no-shows * people who just want to “see what it’s about” * shallow networking without contribution The small fee ensures: * people show up intentionally * everyone respects the space and each other * the room stays focused and valuable You’re not paying for access. You’re paying for a **high-quality room and high-quality people**. ### **Who this is for** ✔ Professionals, founders, freelancers ✔ People actively working on something ✔ Those who prefer **investing time** over spending it ### **Curation & Selection** To protect the group’s quality, **attendance is curated**. I personally review applications. **Quality over quantity — always.**

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**.

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.

IFSC Toastmasters will hold its next meeting on Weds 18th Feb at 6.30pm. \*\* **Please note this meeting will be a club contest which has a slightly different format from our normal meetings \*\*** It will take place in the CIE Boardroom in Connolly Station, North Dock, Dublin 1. Please ensure that you are up on the Station Concourse outside Tom Stanley newsagents by 6:15pm sharp as late arrivals will not be permitted access. [Connelly Station Concourse Locator](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew5HA8BxgfoFyHm28) (Eircode: D01V6V6) [Meeting Point Picture](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bKQNl_6wEXY6WrcbKBfYsqbY1nkqnhHo/view?usp=drive_link) You can expect to receive a warm welcome and experience the different ways we help our members and guests achieve their public speaking goals. Our meetings have a variety of speaking opportunities ranging from spontaneous topic discussions to prepared speeches and more formal roles. You can sit back and absorb the meeting or get involved a little and introduce yourself. Either way you can be assured of a fun and interesting evening of personal development. We really hope to see you there!

**\*\*\*\* More details and sign up at: https://aifalliance.org/summit-2026/ \*\*\*\*** **What is AI Freedom Alliance?** AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large. **What’s Happening?** ***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.*** This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone. **Why Attend?** Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business. This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others.

Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing.
