Here's what's coming up in Dublin
Meetup: Dubliners: Joys of Reading
Wed, Sep 16 · 6:00 PM
## Details The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-) Instagram 📝 How does this work? We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read. Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area. 👥 Socialising After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! Feel free to join at any point during the event. The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter! 📌 Helpful Tips and Notes Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM ⚠️Something Happened? If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me. Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Instagram Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️Something Happened? If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 How to find us? When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else. Join us for a chat about ideas while having a pint. Meet new people, learn about new things and try something different.

⚠️Venue: Third Space (Smithfield) Start time: 7:30PM 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 safe 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 costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event. TIME: We will start at 19:30 and finish at 20:50. Please be on time, to respect the event and other members in the group. VENUE: We are meeting at Third Space @Smithfield Market Smithfield, Dublin 7, D07 P440 Keep in touch with us: https://activesocialconnections.com
