Suicide Prevention: An Evening of Hope


Wednesday 22nd October 2014

7.15pm
Skylon Hotel
Drumcondra Road Uppr.
Dublin 9

Dare to Live SOS are a group of people who have come together through connecting with each other’s personal experience with Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders. We know what it is like when the option of suicide is staring you in the face, but more importantly, we know how to SURVIVE. Suicide has a cure and that cure is HOPE. We will be providing an evening of HOPE by sharing our personal journeys from every point of view; Sufferers, Carers, Parents, Friends. We will be sharing how we have gotten through our darkest times and found life again. We want to share the HOPE. You too can help yourself or a loved one.

To have HOPE is to have connection. All are welcome to join us in our movement to banish Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders as an option for more of our loved ones.

Together we can all save a Life

It feels like time for an oul update!
I've been quiet on social media over the last three weeks as my phone has been broken and I've been unable to post really. I've finally surrendered to the fact that the phone repair shop will not be open for the foreseeable future, and bought a new phone so hopefully when that arrives I'll be back to more regular posting on Instagram and Facebook.
Being without a phone is an interesting experience nowadays, it can seem like such an extension of our being at times, that going without would appear undesirable - really though, it hasn't been too inconvenient, in fact it frees up time for reading or doing other things and affords me the opportunity to be more mindful throughout the day. It can feel disconnecting though, I've missed its communicative function, and I think that's worth noting, that there is a balance to cultivate with our phones. While they do serve so many purposes, some are more worthy of our time than others…

Living Your Best Life

Finding our way in life can be quite a journey. It's this vastly beautiful, exciting and challenging thing that we get one chance at. And figuring out what to do with our unique experience of it, is an undertaking that can lead us to many places, doing a variety of things and learning a wealth of lessons.

I'm extremely lucky to never have had to deal with death or grief much until this past year or so. Oddly enough this coincides with the time period where I've been most alive myself, experiencing freedom, travel and a zest of life that has been dormant in the past. Where once I struggled so much to embrace living, there is now a depth of gratitude, appreciation and wonder at how amazing life can be. I've realised the way I love to live - what I love doing, seeing and being part of, how I like to be, how I most enjoy spending my time, the ways I can recharge, feel good and self care. I've learned who I am and what my dreams are. I've awoken to the possibilities …

Get Out & Grow

Get out  Of the confines of the fault finding mind Get out Into the world where the sun still shines and we can become more inclined towards its positive light Step out from the belligerent beliefs that only serve to feed A nitpicking narrative A cocoon of contempt.
Is it that bad? Is the world actually out to get us?  Do our peers exist solely to sneer and stand hand on gavel Ready to pass judgement on our every move? To render us unstable within our own self worth Burying our esteem under the hardened ground of shitty self talk composting and fertilising  a poisonous seed of self image that needs uprooting.
Get out  Of the view that's there's something bad about you. Because you - You are the unbelievable seed of incredible, of significant, of a strong and sacred life. You have immeasurable capacity to grow and thrive And that might sound exuberant, I get it,  I didn't believe it either. I didn't realise But free now from that mindset, I've come completely alive.
See, maybe we're mis…
