Mindfulness.ie We offer Mindfulness Teacher Training. We offer talks for workplaces. Supervision and CPD for Mindfulness facilitators

We also deliver Mindfulness Based 8-Week Programmes, workshops, retreats for groups, communities, organisations and individuals. Mindfulness teaches us to direct our attention to what is happening right here, right now, with an attitude of kindness towards ourselves and our experience. This “being with” ourselves is in contrast with more habitual states of mind in which we are often preoccupied wi

th memories, fantasies, worries or planning. Although we are often unaware of the current of our thinking, it has a profound effect on how we live our lives, as well on our mental and emotional health. Mindfulness Based Approaches have also been used to treat or to augment or support the treatment of; addiction (MBRP – Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention), cancer, eating disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, su***de, psychosis, borderline personality disorder, relationship enhancement in couples (MBRE) and the list is still growing! We adhere to the Good Practice Guidance for Teaching Mindfulness-Based Courses developed by the U.K. Network of Mindfulness Teachers and to the Ethical Guidelines developed at the University of Massachusetts CFM. The guidance includes formal mindfulness training, personal regular mindfulness meditation practice, engagement in regular supervision, commitment to on-going personal practice, training, supervision, attendance on retreats and a high standard of ethics in relation to our teaching and practice of mindfulness.

Dia daoibh a chairde,

Fáilte chuig an cúrsa gairid seo. This course is designed for those who have a basic to intermediate understanding of Irish and have an interest in learning bunscileanna machnaimh trí Gaeilge (basic skills in meditation). The course will be delivered in Irish and in English. It runs over four Sunday mornings and is aimed at people who have a love of Irish but aren't necessarily fluent in the language.

At the beginning of the first two sessions, attendees will be taught some basic foclóir (vocabulary) which may be useful in sessions. The practices themselves will be guided as Gaeilge but any discussion / enquiry will be through English (or maybe if we feel brave, as Gaeilge).

Core practices taught as Gaeilge will include: scanadh coirp (body scan), gluaiseacht aireachais (mindful movement), cleachtas suite (sitting practice).

Seolfar taifeadtaí chuig na freastalaithe idir seisiúin (Core practice recordings will be sent to attendees between sessions).

Please note: the facilitator is not a gaeilgeoir by any stretch but has a love of the Irish language. Tabharfaimid intinn thosaitheora, neamh breithiúnas (beginner’s mind) agus ‘comhbhá’ (compassion) chig ár seisiúin le chéile.

Ceithre seachtain (4-week introductory mindfulness)

Dataí: an 8ú,15ú, 22ú & 29ú mí Márta, Dé Domhnaigh 10rn go11in

Dates: 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th March on Sundays 10am to 11am

If mindfulness teaches us to be more aware of our present moment experience, self-compassion teaches us how to relate to our present moment experience in (what is for most of us) a very different way.

It involves treating oneself as one would a friend, being more mindful, and understanding our situation in the context of a larger human experience. When we can be more understanding and gentler with ourselves, identify less with the emotions that surround our mistakes, and understand that failure is a normal part of the larger human experience, we become stronger and more resilient. There is now a significant body of evidence showing that practicing self-compassion is strongly correlated with increased emotional resilience and well-being, in addition to reduced stress and anxiety (Source: Stanford Medicine – The Scientific Benefits of Self Compassion).

In this course participants will learn a variety of formal and informal practices which have been shown to increase self-compassion and resilience. Practicing over an 8 week period gives participants a chance to incorporate the practices into their lives and observe the benefits for themselves.

On Saturday November 29th, together we’ll bear witness to the continuing genocide against the Palestinian people, and how each of us are touched by this.

This day of practice is offered in the spirit and tradition of Zen Peacemakers (https://zenpeacemakers.org/), a socially-engaged Buddhist and inter-faith/conviction organisation founded by Bernie Glassman, Roshi. The Three Tenets of Zen Peacemakers offer a way of turning towards deep suffering in the world. These tenets are: Not Knowing,
Bearing Witness,
and Taking Action that arises. They will provide a guiding framework for our time together.

Alongside mindfulness in sitting and walking, our main practice will be council circle. These are ‘listening circles’ in which we’re gently facilitated to speak and to listen from the heart, taking turns to share our personal experiences and stories rather than opinions.

On the day, we’ll gather at the Mindfulness and Compassion Centre for meditation, our first council circle, and then we’ll have lunch together before joining the protest march at 1pm. After an hour’s walking in the march with mindfulness we’ll return to the Centre for our final council circle and closing.

Bearing witness offers us a way to honour our experiences, to stand in solidarity with those who are suffering, and to support and learn from each other.

Contribution:

€40 or €80

Donations welcome if you do not wish to attend

All funds raised will be donated to Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) (https://www.msf.org/) who are currently working in both Gaza and Sudan.

Participants are asked to bring outdoor wear for walking in the protest march and to bring something for lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.

This course is designed to be practical and fun. It draws on the work of neuroscientist Rick Hanson whose specialist area is the science of happiness and James Baraz, a leading expert on mindfulness and author of the book, Awakening Joy. 

There will be a mixture of formal and informal practices. Often we approach our mindfulness practice with too much effort... striving to achieve something or resisting our experience in some way. So if you like the idea of not working too hard, you might like to come along! 

Many people (like me sometimes!) find that the busyness of life robs them of the opportunity for a greater sense of enjoyment. Life then risks becoming more automatic, routine and dull. 

Over the four weeks we will explore a variety of different themes which will help to reorient our minds away from dissatisfaction and distraction and toward the contentment and delight that is abundantly available in our everyday lives. The course is suitable if you've practiced lots of meditation before or if you are completely new to it!
