Tónlistasamspil / Folk Session
Jan 16 @ 20:00 – 23:45
This is one of the weekly sessions for folk music in Reykjavík – there will be drinks provided and all donations collected will go to funding Andrými. If you know what a session is, come and bring songs and tunes (if you have them)! If not, read on.
 
This session is the only one currently in Iceland but it’s a really common format throughout the English and Gaelic-speaking world and in lots of parts of Europe and probably lots of other places too. The idea is that people come with unamplified music and songs and dances and then do them with other people, usually in a common style. Because we are quite international, most commonly you’ll hear Irish music and songs, and also from Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain, North America and Europe.
 
These days (since the 1960s), usually a session will happen in a pub, or sometimes a house. It’s not like a concert because it’s not a performance and there’s not really an audience, though there are often people that just come to listen or chat and maybe join in with some singing if they’re feeling that way inclined. It’s also not like a jam session because there are set songs and tunes which all the people participating will know, or are learning. If you want to learn some of these, there’s lots to help you at https://www.facebook.com/groups/RVKsession.
 
If you don’t play or have a song to bring you’re more than welcome to come and hang out with your friends, and talking, drinking etc. is encouraged during the music – the more atmosphere the better. Sometimes everyone might be quiet to listen to a solo singer. Often you’ll be able to pick up the choruses to the songs and are welcome to join in.
 
Accessibility:
 
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 bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Breakfast and crafts – welcoming art space
Jan 19 @ 11:00 – 13:00
Breakfast and crafts is a new cyclic meeting program destined for everyone who would be interested in spending time with people while fulfilling themselves artistically. We will be hanging out every other Sunday at 11:00 in Andrymi’s cosy room. It’s a ocasion not only to do some crafts, but also to make new friends. Every meeting we will be focusing on different genre of art. If you have a creative mind, but you prefer to express it in a company of people, join us and let’s create together!
This week: knitting, embroidery etc. everything concerning yarn, wool, embroidery floss
If you have some tools and materials (old clothes, tshirts, caps etc. are also vailable), bring them, if not – we will share.
 
During meetings we will not only eat breakfast and create together, it is also a chance for you to shine. If you would like to sing, read poetry or make out this time even more pleasant, you are welcome to come and use the space as a place of a free expression.
 
The goal is to destine products of our common work for future fundraising helping the cause of keeping Andrymi alive and healthy. (But if you would like to make something only for yourself, that’s ok too!)
 
The meeting will take place on Sunday from 11:00 to 13:00 (approximately)

We are all equal – Movie Night
Jan 20 @ 19:30 – 22:00

An independent organised event

 

Do you know what “antispeciesism” stands for?

If your answer is no (but also if it’s yes) come and spend an evening in company with SEEDS volunteers. We are going to show a documentary about what is happening in animal agriculture industries nowadays and what we can do, trough our everyday choices, to consider non-human animals as individuals and not objects to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
After the documentary we are going to have a discussion with some free snacks!

 

Accessibility

The event will be host in English and the documentary will have English subtitles.
The documentary shows some graphic (but true) images.

Why do we suffer?: the Buddhist perspective
Jan 21 @ 19:00 – 21:00

American Buddhist monk Lama Erik Drew Jung is at Andrými AGAIN!

His visit in Jan 2019 was an absolute success and we would love to see you again. So come and join us for an evening talk on nature of suffering and how to address it from Buddhism perspective 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.

Andrymi Cafeteka open house / opið hús
Jan 23 @ 18:00 – 21:00

Andrými started as a community gathering around a free dinner – for all to have access to warm food and connection with people in town. The focus was to create a space where refugees and migrants could meet locals and each other, get out of our private, alienating lives, and become more collective beings.

Since Andrými secured a house, it has come to shelter a lot of activities – meetings of different grassroots groups, people organising and mobilizing for a better society, an anarchist library, a kitchen for all, different events focused on skill sharing or socializing.

Once we got into a rhythm, Andrými stopped being a specific group, becoming rather a place that is open for all that want to get involved and organize within it. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that sometimes we have to get together for freshideas and untapped energy to spring up. So this is a call for people that are curious, open to learning how to run a space together in a direct, democratic way. For people that want to open up their hearts towards processes that promote inclusion and the creation of safer spaces for all.

You can find more information about the values of Andrými here: https://andrymi.org/what-we-stand-for-2/

—–

The event will take place between 18-21.

At 18.30, there will be a short house tour and a presentation for those coming to the space for the first time. The main room will be arranged as a cosy cafetek (coffee and tea) – so you can read a book from the anarchist library in the house, chat over a warm cup with old or new friends, organise your creative ideas with others, form interest groups, get to know people, and provide further help with Andrými’s organisation.

The space is yours as long as you take care of it <3

 

Icelandic translation: 

Hafiðið áhuga á Andrými og langar ykkur í að taka þátt í það með öðrum? Eruðið með eitthvað hugmyndar eða viljiðið stuðla að hugmyndum aðra sem eiga að vera í rýminu? Viljiðið passa rýmið og hjálpa með því að hafa samband við samfélög og fólk sem myndu hafa gott af Andrými?

Á fimmtudögum önnur hver vika, við ætlum að opna húsið að bjóða fólki að hittast. Komiðið með óskar, spurningar og þarfar þínar, með vinum eða einn/ein/eitt, og sjáum til hvað við getum gert saman!

Andrými byrjaði sem samkoma um kvöldmat fyrir alla til þess að njóta heits mats og tengingar við fólk í bænum. Áherslan var að byggja rými þar sem flotta- og farandverkafólk gætu hitt heimafólk og hvort annað á meðan við slepptum við einangrunu og fráhverfingu í lífunum okkar, og á sama tíma þróast í frekar sameiginlegt fólk.

Síðan Andrými samdi um húsnæði, mörg hafa komið til að nota húsið — mismunandi grasrótahópar halda funda, fólk er að skipuleggja og virkja fyrir betra samfélag, anarkísta bókasafn er til, eldhús fyrir alla, og mismunandi viðburðir með áherslu á leiknisamnýtingu eða bara tækifæri til að gera eitthvað skemmtilegt.

Eftir við komast inn í hlutina, Andrými var ekki lengur sérstakur hópur, varð frekar staður sem er opinn fyrir alla til að taka þátt og þróa hugmyndar þeirra. Samt viðurkennum við að stundum þurfum við hittast til að bjóða óheyrðum/ferskum skoðunum. Þetta er kall til þeirra sem eru forvitin, til í að læra að reka svona pláss saman á beinan, lýðræðislegan hátt. Fyrir þau sem langar í að styðja aðferðir fyrir meðtalningu og öryggisrými, verið velkomin.

Upplýsingar um gildi Andrímis finnst hér: https://andrymi.org/is/gildi/

Viðburðurinn stendur á milli kl. 18 til 21.

Á kl. 18:30 verður stútt hússýningu og kynningu fyrir þau sem koma til Andrýmis í fyrsta sinn. Aðalherbergið verður raðandi upp sem kósý kaffihús (kaffi og te). Verið velkomin að fletta bók frá bókasafninu, rabba saman með eitthvað heitt, skipuleggja skapandi hugmyndar með öðrum, búa til áhugahópa, kynnast fólki, og taka þátt í Andrými.

Rýmið er þitt eins lengi og þú passar það <3
