What is going on in France?
A short introduction followed by a discussion around the recent unrest in France (gilet jaune).
An independently organised event.
Accessibility:
Andrými is at Bergþórugata 20.
(The entrance is by Vitastígur)
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. An architect is already working on drawing a ramp and making an accessible bathroom in the space.
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door). The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).
The washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
Monthly workshop session led by members of Kvæðamannafélið Iðunn, the organisation set up to preserve and pass on the singing traditons of Iceland (see http://rimur.is/?page_id=367). The aim of the sessions is to learn, practise and share traditional Icelandic folk songs, for example tvísöngur. We will also welcome people from other singing traditions to share their songs. The sessions are open to all. No previous singing experience is necessary. Songs will be taught ‘by ear’, with some notation available for people who find it helpful.
We will make every effort to accommodate everyone who comes. In particular, we are aware that some people are nervous about singing in ‘public’ situations. We will make every effort to make the sessions welcoming and supportive of everyone attending.
Organised by Industrial Workers of the World Ísland.

Trans-organised event, a safe space for trans & questioning people only. Nonbinary trans folks and intersex people who identify as trans are especially welcome to come!
Second Friday of every month5-9 PM (AND in the same week as the support group on second Tue of every month, if the weeks are different), the radical social space Andrými hosts an independently organised trans social — a non-structured drop-in time for trans and questioning folks to meet up and chat, use the resources in the house (anarchist library Andspyrna, printer, wood and bike workshop…), create art or organise. Great opportunity to make new friends and chat or to have a relaxing quiet time on your own.
This is a closed event — the whole house is reserved for the trans social.

As the whole house is reserved for the event, it is possible to be either in the library and a big meeting room downstairs (with tables and chairs) or upstairs in a room with low sofas or in a smaller room with a table and chairs (great for working).
In the last years the political theatre became a strong scene in Romania. This will be a short presentation about the radical political movement around the main theatre and art groups/spaces/magazines/platforms. The scene is growing bigger and its influences must be acknowledged. Art has to be instrumentalised!
American Buddhist monk Lama Erik Drew Jung at Andrými!
Come and join us for a cozy evening talk on Tibetan Buddhism with Venerable Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung, an American Buddhist monk of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Erik is a warm and engaging speaker who is on a European tour this month and is visiting Iceland for a week.
Bodhi Lama Erik Drew Jung grew up in Portland, Oregon and at an early age was introduced to Mahayana Buddhism by his father, a practitioner in the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1990, he earned a bachelor degree from The Evergreen State College. In 1994, he received a licensure in acupuncture (Lic. Ac.) from the Worlsey Institute of Classical Acupuncture, and in 2000, a master degree in acupuncture from The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.
Lama Erik first took refuge in the Three Jewels 1989 with H. H. The Dhali Lama, and in the spring of 2004 met his root teacher, Tibetan meditation master and thirty-third generation Dzogchen lineage holder, H.E. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. He took refuge vows with Rinpoche that day, receiving the refuge name Orgyen Thabkey Dorje, and has served and studied closely with his Root Guru ever since.
Since 2004, Orgyen Thabkey Dorje has cumulatively spent more than three years in Dzogchen Buddha Path Retreats and Internships. He took monastic vows in 2008, and since 2010 has worked full time with the Dzogchen Lineage Translation Committee to help Rinpoche compose, translate, and edit the forthcoming Third Edition Buddha Path, along with many other Buddhist texts and sadhanas in English. As well, he has taught Buddhism widely across the U.S., and conducted many overseas teaching tours in Europe and Russia.
