The Living Room
Stumbling upon this place during one of the many recent sunny downpours at lunchtime was like a scene out of a movie. Standing sheltered on the steps, curiousity got the better of me and I pushed open the door to find a space away from the city's constant chatter. Having entered feeling stressed and wanting to slap a banker and/or politician, I was impressed at how it only took a few moments before I melted into the calming oasis that is the Living Room. It is open to absolutely anyone looking to escape the madness for a bit and get their bearings back. Pilgrims pop in to pause, pray, reflect, hope, mull over decisions and join the others who share this secret haven, surrounded by plants, candles and cushions. Heading back to the office I felt refreshed, my balance restored and just about ready to face Dublin again! / Emily O'Callaghan
