'The Art of Resting'
A non residential weekend retreat at Oscailt with Plum Village Dharma teacher Bettina Romhardt.

Fri evening Oct 3rd to Sunday evening Oct 5th, 6pm.

Cost €160

"It is important that we learn the art of resting."
Thich Nhat Hanh

We need to re-learn the balance between activity and rest. We need to give ourselves the permission to rest.
During this weekend we remind ourselves how to stop, to calm our minds and body and to truly rest. When we stop, we return to our breath, bring body and mind together. We can then recognise how distractions can give way to concentration, connection and to a sense of aliveness.

Bettina is an Order Member Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition. She offers retreats, days of mindfulness and year long trainings in Berlin. In these challenging times she is very grateful for Thich Nhat Hanh’s teaching on “Being Peace/ Peace in Myself Peace in the World. It is a great joy in her life to practice and share the Dharma”.

Sharing this wonderful research project related to menopause on behalf of 2 of our Oscailt community therapists;


'Shape Shifters'
​
Creative Performance Research
​Call Out

We are looking for people at different stages of life to participate in a group research project. People who are interested in creative and embodied approach to exploring the diverse themes and feelings relating to menopause. The emotional, the relational, the rage, the grief, the silence, the reticence, the absence, the disgust, the empowerment, the all-of-a-sudden-ness. The socio-cultural constructs that may have affected how we perceive, are experiencing or have experienced this phenomenon.

Whether you are pre-menopause, post-menopause, peri-menopause or menopause adjacent. We are interested in your opinions and your stories.

 
We are offering six fortnightly group workshops free of charge from October to December at Dublin City Council's, Incubation space, Foley St, Dublin 1. 

In these laboratory-style workshops we will work through somatic and poetic movement, voice and breath-work, singing, discussion and creative writing. If you’re handy with a camera you can work through images and video, you can draw your experience, debate it, dance it. We are interested in unveiling the silence around the felt experiences of Menopause in as many ways as we need to and finding new narratives which feel right for us.

We are looking for participants to commit ideally to the six sessions, or alternatively to as many as they can manage. 
This creative research is part of an artistic residency awarded by Dublin City Council to artists Regan O'Brien and Marián Araújo Marcote
