Hello everyone, I am Lynda Jakiro. I've been on the 'Spiritual Path' for over two years, enjoying Wallace's wisdom, sense of humour and the wonderful workshops, ebooks, videos, his paperback book and articles. It wasn't long before I became a facilitator and now I am co-leader with Wallace. The journey with Wallace and the spiritual path are two of the most wonderful and empowering things I have ever found. My aim is to become the best person I could possibly be. It has led to joy, peace and happiness, better relationships, new spiritual friends and much more. Wallace is in Dublin, Ireland and I live in North Herts, England, UK. I have a beautiful cabin in my back garden, where I do healing and teaching and it's the perfect place for an in-person meetup, where you can learn about the spiritual path and meet new friends.

There is always something fun to do and adventures be had with great friends and making new friends when we take a break from work and family commitments.

Couples and singles who are keen to meet for a meal and a chat and maybe an outing about every month at inexpensive venues. A certain age dictates a new start in life with new friends and experiences. Men are particularly welcome.... If you remember the 1950s and 60s days and rock n roll, your most welcome. Frank and Anne started the group in 2014. They pay an annual fee to Meetup.com whose clever system then allows people to join and rsvp online to outings that Anne & Frank organise. The annual fee in 2023 is $150. An annual voluntary contribution of €5 yearly is always welcome.

Calling all people who are interested in and who enjoy being in a relaxing and enjoyable space with other kind and caring people who fully respect each others boundaries whilst practicing consensual communicating skills, including, possibly, touch! \* \*\*  **What events can you expect in this group ?**  All the workshops offered within this group are focused on two core pillars of healthy relating; Consent and Boundaries. There will occasionally be 30-60 minute free introductions on Zoom to give people who are curious a sense of what to expect and to start conversations about the skills required to be consensually confident. There will be 3 hour (and longer) in-person workshops that allow you to gain insight and develop your skills in consensual communication, increasing awareness and respect of your own and other peoples boundaries. Events will include practice; with potential\* opportunities to give and receive consensual touch in a boundaried way. You can come to a Consensual Communicating events to meet new people, to enjoy heartfelt conversations, possibly to practice touch\*, possibly to practice being touched\*\*, to have fun, to practice asking for what you want, to practice saying “no” to what you don’t want — all in a setting structured to be a safe place. These events are not therapy. But they can be healing, comforting, restorative, rejuvenating, inspiring, insight-producing, and challenging of your preconceived ideas. And they are always fun. At the beginning of all of our events people get an opportunity to become aware of how to set boundaries that they are fully comfortable with and during events they can feel assured that when communicating those boundaries they will be honoured by others. Many people have found these events to be deeply supportive, enlightening and nourishing with growth in self awareness and relationship skills.  **\*These events are entirely consent focused, this means that you might find that nobody agrees to being touched by you or to offer you touch - and that's perfectly ok! One of the essential skills we'll explore in our workshops is the need to have a mature and respectful approach to rejection, both receiving and giving.** **\*\*These events are entirely consent focused, this means that you might choose to not touch or be touched and those boundaries will be respected by all who attend. It can feel very empowering to find confidence in saying No, in fact I encourage people to find ease in rejecting others and it's something we practice and discuss at every event!** **Our Emotional Needs – Consensual Touch is healthy and healing** “When we hug, our hearts connect and we know that we are not separate beings. Hugging with mindfulness and concentration can bring reconciliation, healing, understanding, and much happiness.” Thich Nhat Hanh  Human beings of all ages benefit from consensual touch. We never outgrow it. In these events we re-discover consensual non-sexual touch, connection and communication skills. These events are very specifically designed to leave sexual kinds of touch entirely off the menu, so that the more inclusive, non-sexual kinds of touch have a chance to be found and enjoyed. People enjoy receiving and/or giving clothed back rubs, massage, cuddling or simply hugging some new friends and chatting. It's a lovely opportunity for people to relax and feel connected to a sound group of people who agree that being affectionate and kind is good for your wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. Many people find this quite natural. For others, it’s a new and life enriching learning. Many people are surprised to find such a rich, comforting and fun experience.  **The Science bit**  Research shows that elevated oxytocin levels, a naturally produced chemical that is released when giving and receiving a 20 second or more consensual hug, reduces stress and its related ailments, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, improves circulation and supports the healing of diseases such as fibromyalgia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Here's what attendees at previous events had to say! *"Excellent facilitation skills with humour and sensitivity - Great!"* *"Not only did it have a yummy feel-good effect but a deeper, more long-lasting impact also. I have been more conscious of my boundaries and more clear in my yes's and no's these past few days. I feel a new power. It is delicious!"*

Welcome to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! - Cork This group is for fun loving girls, who don’t take themselves too seriously, upwards of 35 (plus interest 😉), who enjoy a great night out, a good laugh and meeting new people.

If book clubs, are your thing, this may not be the group for you. So that we all enjoy have a positive experience, we have adopted a small set of rules: **Member requests:** Must be approved by the organizer, you must be 35 + to join & your profile must show a picture, profiles that are empty may not be approved. **Guests:** We must be considerate to all members and therefore we ask all attendees at events to be group members, please encourage friends to Join and RSVP for themselves. **Rsvps:** Please change your RSVP if you can no longer attend an event, so that we are not waiting or looking for people that are not coming, this will also free up room on the event if there are limited numbers and people are on a wait list. **Waitlist:** Turn on notifications to be sure you are notified when an event spot has opened up. Meetup automatically moves the next person on the ‘Waitlist’ to the ‘Going’ list. If you’re no longer able to attend, please remove yourself from the ‘Waitlist’. **Event reservation/fee paying:** if there is an event that requires a reservation/deposit or pre-payment, a contact phone number will be required, and where applicable advance payment to the organiser will be required. We understand some members may prefer not to share their personal contact information, there will be many events where reservations/pre-pays are not required and we hope you will join those, but we will not be able to accommodate you for events requiring reservations or pre-pays without contact information and payment where payment up front is required. **Responsibility:** The group organisers will not take any responsibility for any loss or injury sustained at an organised event. **Conduct**: We want everyone’s time to be fun and enjoyable, so please be kind and respectful to your fellow group members. Positive vibes only please 😊
