Life feeling a bit messy?

If you’ve been wondering why everything feels a bit… much (like, say, the world is slowly tilting toward an emotional cliff edge), you’re not alone.

We’re all living in a weird, fast-paced whirlwind of information overload, Wi-Fi meltdowns, and that relentless voice in the back of your head that wonders if you’ve forgotten something incredibly important. Anxiety, it turns out, is having a bit of a moment — and not in a good way.

But what if there was a way to just, you know, chill? Enter Kadam Bridget Heyes, the National Spiritual Director of the NKT-IKBU in the UK and Ireland, and the person who will likely become your new best friend after this talk. She’s tackling one of the biggest dilemmas of modern life: how to calm the anxious mind.

Spoiler alert: It’s not by adding more coffee or making 12 to-do lists.

Kadam Bridget has a magical combination of wisdom, good humour, and compassion, which, honestly, sounds like a recipe for the best kind of soul-cleansing chat.

During her public talk at St Peter’s on North Main StreetCork City on February 5th (7pm), she’s going to share practical, meditation-based methods—drawn from Buddha’s teachings —to help us navigate the messiness of life with less of the panic and more of the balance.

So, if you’re one of those people who’s spent a little too much time googling “How to stop stressing over everything,” this event might just be your personal invite to calm the chaos.

After the talk, you’ll get to hang out for refreshments and a chat. Everyone is welcome, the cost is €14 on the door but you can nab a €12 ticket here.
