Schedule & Rhythm

23 September 2026 - 23 June 2027

Programme Schedule

Beyond the Irish Question unfolds over nine months through a gentle rhythm of teaching, reflection, and integration. Each module builds on the last, creating space for learning to deepen over time rather than rushing from one topic to the next.

All sessions are scheduled in Dublin time (Ireland).

The Rhythm of Each Module

Every module follows the same gentle rhythm:

First two sessions: Guided by the module guide (the guest co-facilitator for that theme), with Simon holding overall facilitation throughout the program.

Third session: A space led by Simon and Karen

  • This session is dedicated to integration, reflection, and processing, a chance to name what is unfinished, digest what arose, and settle before the module closes.

Module guides will also step into other sessions throughout the eight months, not in a teaching role, but to be present with the group field and unfolding process. Their presence is a way of sensing where the exploration is, listening to what is moving, and allowing this to inform the sessions they will later guide. In this way, they support the process by holding and witnessing, while the ongoing facilitation remains with Simon.

  • ✅ All sessions are held live on Zoom.

    • Every Wednesday

    • 7:00–9:00 pm (Dublin Time)

    • Nine monthly modules

    • Three live sessions per module

    (Module 3 follows a slightly different rhythm due to the Christmas holidays.)

Integration Between Modules

After each three-week module, there is a two-week break. These pauses are intentional: creating space for the learning to settle before the next exploration begins.

During this time, participants are encouraged to:

  • Rest and integrate what has emerged.

  • Reflect, research, and journal between modules.

  • Meet with your triad (optional from beginning), which offers further depth and personal processing between modules. Triads are a small group of three participants who commit to meeting together; we will offer guidance as to how to structure this space.

This rhythm of learning, integrating, and pausing helps ensure that the program is not only about gathering insights, but about allowing them to take root.

Flexibility & Replays

While the schedule is fixed, minor changes may occasionally occur if guest teachers need to reschedule.

  • All sessions are recorded and made available within 72 hours. If you would prefer anything you shared during a personal process not to appear in the recording, simply email us after the session and we will remove it. Unless we hear otherwise, recordings will include all content from the session.
