Protecting hope, in uncertain times

This event has ended

Online, Saturday 2nd May

Is it possible to maintain a genuinely optimistic outlook on life and authentic hope for the future, in the midst of the uncertain times we find ourselves in, and the uncertain future that lies ahead, as a result of the impact of the global pandemic? Thankfully, Yes!

In this morning meditation retreat, Kadam Adam will introduce us to, and guide us in, deeply relaxing and inspiring meditations and insights – that Buddha taught – that have proven effective for centuries in helping anyone navigate their way through uncertain and challenging times, and come out the other side of it, more at peace with life, stronger, happier and more resilient.

We will explore what authentic hope is, and how we can protect our hope, through meditation practices and insights that help us cultivate healthier and wiser ways of how we relate to ourselves, our potential, others and the world around us.

We will learn meditation skills to help us identify unhealthy emotions – such as anxiety and fear – as they arise, without feeling identified with, and stuck in them. We will learn how to let them go, and maintain an increasingly calm, peaceful and positive mind and outlook on life, whatever comes our way.

We are a registered charity run entirely by volunteers, no-one receives a salary. The funds we receive are used to pay for our operating expenses. We appreciate that current times are financially challenging for some. If you have difficulty affording our fees please get in touch to discuss a concession.

Irish Famine Exhibition

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre

The Irish Potato Famine was the most catastrophic event in Ireland's turbulent history. It is also regarded as being one of the worst Famines in history (deaths as a proportion to population). The use of the word 'Famine' in this context is controversial, for Ireland at the time was part of the richest Empire in the World (the British Empire). There was sufficient food in the country throughout the 'Famine' years, yet over a million people died from starvation and disease, and millions more were forced to flee. This Exhibition tells the story of what happened during those horrific years. W

Manuals of Immorality: Censoring publications in twentieth-century Ireland

Wood Quay Venue

The scale and ambition of the Irish censorship regime is preserved in a blacklist of over 12,000 publications. From 1930 to 2016, the censorship board banned all manner of printed material. Sex education manuals, pulp fiction, nineteenth-century pornography, celebrity memoirs, and newspapers and magazines appear alongside literature from the greatest twentieth-century writers. This state censorship emerged from the report of the Committee on Evil Literature (1926), which gathered opinions from churchmen of all persuasions, newsagents, charities, trade unions and civil servants. The moral attit
