Letâs play... Public Access / Hex and the City / Goat Crashers
Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you'll choose one to play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination.
đ **This week's facilitators:**
* đș **Eoin** with *[Public Access](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gauntlet/public-access-analog-horror-mystery-ttrpg)*, an analogue horror/mystery game using the Brindlewood Bay system. The year is 2004. You've returned to Deep Lake, New Mexico on a mission to uncover the secrets behind a TV station that only you and a few likeminded obsessives seem to remember. As you hunt for video tapes and clues to the mystery surrounding the long lost channel, you'll uncover far more than you bargained for - about this unassuming town and yourselves.
* đ **Vishnu** with *Hex and the City*: an urban fantasy clone of *[Lasers and Feelings](https://johnharper.itch.io/lasers-feelings)* where you are members of a monster hunting crew. You are all that stands between the forces of darkness and the innocent people that don't believe in them. Whatever hijinks and personal drama you have going on in the background, you have always managed to come through and save this City. Or at least, you have until SERENITY, THE CHOSEN ONE got herself grievously wounded in the last battle, leaving you with no prophetic visions to guide you, or convenient one-shot monster killing powers while she recovers. (Or maybe she's off "recuperating" with her demon boyfriend again, who knows?)
* đ **Scott** with *[Goat Crashers](https://gshowitt.itch.io/goat-crashers)*, a Grant Howitt one-page RPG. You're a cheeky little goat who just wants to party. Problem is, the only party in town doesn't want goats to attend. But to hell with them; you're going to get inside by any means necessary and have the BEST time.

Fun Hound Social walk All welcome
Hi All, this is a on lead walk with dogs of all ages and experience welcome. Many who attend are recently rescued and learning. Walk the lovely grounds and see the flowers and wildlife followed by coffee. There is a Fb page Sighthound Adventures Ireland and #dublinhoundwalks on Instagram. All Welcome.
Zazen Meditation + Dharma talk or Kinhin
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 âŹ5 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!
Sunday Summit & Caffeine: The Great Sugar Loaf Reset â°ïžâïž
### **The Vibe**
Time to trade the city skyline for a 360-degree view of Wicklow. Weâre heading up the Great Sugar Loaf for a brisk morning hike to clear the head and get some fresh mountain air. Itâs a short but steep rocky climb that feels like a real accomplishment before we reward ourselves with coffee and bites nearby.
### **The Plan**
* **10:30 AM:** Meet at the **Great Sugar Loaf Car Park** (the one off the L1031, exact location below). Look for the tall guy âyou won't miss me.
* **The Hike:** Itâs a roughly 1 to 1.5-hour round trip. Itâs a bit of a scramble near the top, so bring boots or sturdy sneakers.
* **The Reward:** After we descend, weâll convoy to a nearby spot for coffee, brunch, and a proper chat. (I'm eyeing up **The Pluck-and-Pantry** or **Avoca Kilmacanogue**, but open to suggestions!)
* **Finish:** Weâll have you back on the road/home by 1:30 or 2:00 PM.
### **Who is this for?**
Anyone who wants to start their Sunday with momentum rather than a slow crawl. If you like nature, good conversation, and don't mind a little bit of a rocky path, come along.
### **Note on Weather**
If it's misty, we climb (the rocks look cooler in the fog anyway). If itâs a dangerous gale, Iâll update the group by 8:30 AM Sunday morning.
**Let's claim the summit. See you there!**

In the late '90s, Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd had their musical ambitions consistently ridiculed for having the 'wrong' accents, so they went for broke and reinvented themselves as Californian rappers. The duo re-recorded their own tracks with fake accents and turned up in London claiming to be an established duo on the Cali scene as well as childhood friends with Eminem. They quickly bagged themselves a record deal, a hefty sum in advances, and an appearance on MTV... until it all came crashing down.

Quick version: this one gets straight to the point.
Everything important, without the extra padding.
Different tone. Same event. Much less predictable.
reviving gardans, Growing community
**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic**
This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. Itâs about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there.
On the day, weâll:
* Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep
* Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally
* **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices
* Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food
* Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, weâll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea:
* The possibility of **small community âpark farmsâ or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin
* What that might look like, whatâs realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further
Thereâs no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether youâre experienced with gardening or completely new, youâre very welcome.
Bring clothes you donât mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key.
This is just a **first step** â a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if thereâs a shared appetite to keep growing something together.
APRIL - MATE by Ali Hazelwood
Join us to discuss the second installment of the Bride series by Ali Hazelwood!
"Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left--if he'll have her. As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn't matter if Serena doesn't reciprocate his feelings--nothing will stop him from keeping her safe. But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her--and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation"

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
