About Teresa
Teresa is an Advanced Yoga Alliance Teacher with over 20 years practical experience and teaching in Ireland since 2010. Teresa teaches many Hatha Yoga styles; Ashtanga, Iyengar, Yin, Restorative, Pregnancy and Somatic moves. These coupled with Breathwork, Mindfulness and Meditation practices.

Future Human: Who Are We Becoming?
2025-06-06 19:00 - 20:30
Dr. Lollie Mancey
In this timely and thought-provoking talk, Dr. Lollie Mancey explores how artificial intelligence is transforming our world — and what it means to be human in the midst of such change. From identity and ethics to power, bias, and the future of work, Lollie invites us to consider both the risks and the possibilities of emerging technologies.
Structured around key themes — including AI’s influence on behaviour, new relationships between humans and machines, and who gets included in the “future human” — this session blends insight, reflection and practical hope. It is designed for people of all ages and backgrounds, especially those who may feel uncertain or overwhelmed by fast-paced technological shifts. Participants are encouraged to think critically, act consciously, and imagine a future shaped not just by machines — but by human values, creativity, and care.
About Dr. Lollie Mancey
Dr. Lollie Mancey is an award-winning anthropologist, futurist and innovation advocate. As Programme Director at University College Dublin’s Innovation Academy, she works at the cutting edge of education, entrepreneurship and ethical technology.

Her work empowers people to meet the future with confidence, creativity and compassion.

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
– Kelsang Gyatso
