Hi!!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

A cold week is coming to an end and for the next 10 days we will be closer to two digit temperatures than to Zero degrees. So the 2025 events can start. During really cold temperatures, nobody wants to venture out, but as soon as it gets a bit warmer, I think we are ready to go.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

How do you “tackle” a new year? Do you have everything planned already? Holidays? Life events? Milestones? Or are you more a drifter that lets things happen?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

In some areas I have some tentative plans in place, but I have to admit that in general, the year has to “develop” over time for me. This is just a nicer way than to say, “I have no idea yet what I will do in some areas of life.” :-D<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

So holidays are not planned, but I know that I want to go to a few more events than last year and I know that I will run a good few more training courses (Personal Development and AI) than last year. If you could take part in a training course about a topic of your choice, what topic would that be? Send me a mail to dublineventguide @ gmail.com with TRAINING in the subject line. Everybody who does, will get some reward. I am not 100% decided what that will be, but let me surprise you! ;-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

As a headline of today’s Dublin Event Guide I originally had “Slow start”, but that is not fair at the beginning of the new year, so I renamed it to “Calm Start”. I promise the events list will get longer and longer from now on. There is ALWAYS something to do in Dublin, but in January there is definitely less than the rest of the year.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

The new year is often used to start or try something new and this (positive) bug got me this year as well. Some of you know that I am coach and trainer in the areas of personal development and leadership and my plan for this year is to provide some (free) information about how to overcome hurdles that hold us back from being more successful in life.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

I will do that in short videos on my Instagram account and if you are interested, you can find me by searching for “joergsteegmueller” (lots of letters, I know!) on Instagram. I might add Facebook and YouTube at some point, but for now it is only on Instagram. I might see you on Instagram! ;-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Donations in January:<\/strong>
\nEUR 174<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

(By the end of the month, this number has\u00a0to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Last week the wonderful people who helped with a donation were Declan, Cathal and Jana. Thank you so much! Your help is VERY much appreciated. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group! Without donations to pay the bills I will not be able to continue.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Here are some more details about donations:
\nAny amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That\u2019s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https:\/\/gturl.eu\/DEGdonate<\/a>. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED<\/span> subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb <\/strong>or now also https:\/\/revolut.me\/joergbrb<\/a>
\n(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

And there is one other way to help and it is even free:\u00a0If you come to\u00a0http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a>\u00a0and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!\u00a0?<\/p>\n

One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now).

+++ First Fortnight Mental Health Arts Festival<\/strong>
\nThe yearly Mental Health Arts & Culture Festival “First Fortnight will take place from 05-14 January. There will be over 60 events, but most of them are not free. In addition, the website isn’t facilitating a simple search for free, not-booked out events, so I had to give up and you will have to check it out yourself at https:\/\/www.firstfortnight.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES<\/strong>
\nIs there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
\nThe lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! –\u00a0Check out the website at https:\/\/www.getthislink.com\/Udemy22<\/a> And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ IKEA Crafting \/ Music \/ Cooking Workshops<\/strong>
\nIkea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops it is always worh checking out. The workshops are free and usually go for 45 minutes. They are always for children, but the age is often not fixed. There are specific Toddler and baby workshops at times as well. Check them out on https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ie\/en\/stores\/events\/ikea-ballymun\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
