Mindfulness Courses Dublin

“Your cant stop the waves but you can learn to surf.” – Jon Kabat Zinn

Mindful Way, a mindfulness meditation centre with a focus on teaching you to bring it into your own life are beginning two new 8 week courses at the end of this month. The 8 week courses take the form of 9 sessions, beginning on the 27th and 30th of January, depending on which suits your schedule best.

The MBSR programme that Mindful Way teach was developed by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Centre for Mindfulness in Medicine, Healthcare and Society, University of Massachusetts Medical School. It is an 8 week, 9 session programme designed to teach people how to integrate mindfulness in their everyday lives. It especially focuses on applying mindfulness to the whole range of challenges that can arise from life’s stresses and physical and psychological conditions.

What to expect

Over the course of the 8 weeks participants experience and learn to use mindfulness meditation in the form of formal practices, such as sitting meditation, body scanning and during mindful movement. Instructions and tailored individual advice is also given to help participants incorporate mindfulness into their daily activities and also to help them respond to stressful experiences in a more effective way. Daily home practice is part of this course. It is the aim of the programme to cultivate ways of learning and being that can be utilised far beyond completion of the programme and the various studies that have been done outline this to be the case.

The MBSR programme is intensive in nature and also life affirming. The patterns of the mind we will be working to change have often been around for many years so we can only succeed in shifting these habitual and automatic ways of thinking if we put in some time and effort. It can be challenging to find time and self discipline to attend the classes and to do the home practice but it is worth making a commitment to oneself to give it your best shot as only then you can make a decision whether this approach could be helpful for you and your life.

One Day Workshop: How to Talk Inspiringly About Anything – With Dave Rock

by Admin January 5, 2015

written by Admin

A one day workshop for anyone who wants to access their innate capacities to talk authentically, compellingly and creatively in front of others. Suitable for performers, public speakers, teachers and all others, this workshop will share ways to communicating inspiringly, harness nervous energy, and access flow states for speech. It will also be a lot of fun.

storytelling-workshop

Saturday 11–5:30pm, Restore Health Centre, Dublin

This is not about superficial tricks to sound good. It’s about coming from the deepest place of inspiration inside.

Led by spoken word artist, storyteller and teacher Dave Rock, this workshop is suitable for all levels and interests. Participants will gain confidence, creativity, and clarity about how to hold an audience and transmit something truly valuable.

There are many misguided ideas about the rarity and difficulty of finding and holding onto inspiration, let alone transmitting it. Dave Rock has spent his whole life exploring ways to generate and cultivate inspirational states, and how to share them with others. The fact is, inspiration is a habit, and anyone can cultivate it. And being able to speak in a way that inspires is also a habit, requiring only that you be willing to develop states of mind, and access to flow, that make it completely natural for you.

Whether you are simply wanting to take your speaking/performing skills to the next level, or you are working with a particular goal, this workshop can help you get there.

“Dave Rock is uniquely talented in nurturing the well-springs of spoken word creativity in his students. He has a way of getting to the heart of things. His classes are joyful and spontaneous, whilst at the same time being highly structured and productive. Students leave feeling confident, inspired and illuminated.” Adrienne Murphy, Hotpress Journalist

One Day Introduction to Permaculture this November with Davie Philip & Bruce Darrell

Learn to live more sustainably

Permaculture workshop Dublin

Saturday 15 November 2014
09:00 – 17:00 Centre for Creative Practices, Dublin

Hosted by Davie Philip and Bruce Darrell of Cultivate and Cloughjordan Ecovillage.

An introduction to how we can live more sustainably, grow food intensively and strengthen the resilience of our communities. Using an active learning approach, this workshop will give an introduction to permaculture design principles and outline how they can be applied to your own life and work.

This course is for anyone curious to find out more about Permaculture and trying to decide whether to take a more extensive course but is also perfect as a ‘stand alone’ introduction. It’s open to anyone aged 16 or over and no prior knowledge of permaculture is needed.

What is permaculture?

The essence of permaculture is the design of an ecologically sound way of living – in our households, gardens, communities and businesses. It is created by cooperating with nature and caring for the earth and its people.The word ‘permaculture’ comes from ‘permanent agriculture’ and ‘permanent culture’. Permaculture principles encourage both; a practical approach to managing land that increases soil carbon, protects and enriches the soil and boosts biodiversity and the movement in communities to become more resilient.

Rather than a discipline, Permaculture presents us with a set of design principles derived from the observation of natural ecosystems. These principles are then used to develop integrated systems that provide for our needs of food, shelter, energy and community in ways that are healthy and efficient. We can use permaculture design methods to improve the quality and productivity of our individual lives, our society and our environment.
€55/€49.50 for members
