Being able to communicate at the speed of light has never been easier, but how much intimacy do we really share. How close can we really get when technology is involved? Join Cyberpsychology Researcher at the University of Wolverhampton and Lecturer at IADT Nicola Fox Hamilton and Dr Jamie Saris, Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at Maynooth University as they debate if technology really is the future of human connection or if we should disconnect to get close.

Event–Unravel & Rise: an afternoon exploring Active Hope
Location- Light Your Own Lamp, 28 South William Street
Description- “Active Hope is not wishful thinking.
Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life
on whose behalf we can act.”
― Joanna Macy
Whether you’re passionate about climate justice, migrant rights, bodily autonomy, or any other number of issues, activism can take its toll. The current state of affairs, and the struggle to make change, can cause anxiety and feelings of hopelessness.
Our activism is rooted in love and compassion. When we recognise injustice we are moved to act. But how do we sustain our activism and remain hopeful when things get tough?
Active Hope provides tools and exercises to stay hopeful and resilient in times of despair and apathy. Reconnecting with self, others and nature is a big part of this process.
Join us for an afternoon of reflection and community care through gentle yoga, meditation and sharing exercises. Allow yourself to pause and reconnect with your passion and purpose.
All you need to bring is yourself, in comfy clothes. We will provide everything else.
Cost- Concession: €15, General: €25, Pay-it-forward: €35
