In this course we will focus on compassion practices that open the heart to our own suffering and how we can use meditation to befriend and support ourselves when we need it most. It is best if participants have an existing meditation practice or at least some meditation experience.
About the Tutor: Mairead O’Keeffe, Mindfulness Facilitator
Mairead completed the 8 week MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction)course in 2010 and found it changed her life. She has been practising meditation ever since, attending weekly drop-in meditation classes and going on retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, a leader in the area of Mindfulness. In her own life she has found Mindfulness very helpful for dealing with anxiety and an active mind.
In January 2016 Mairead resigned as a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (her former profession) and commenced teacher training with The Institute for Mindfulness-Based Approaches, where she qualified as an MBSR teacher in June 2017. There was a huge emphasis in the course on the teacher’s personal practice which Mairead finds challenging at times but essential for the teaching of Mindfulness. Mairead facilitates Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction courses in Community Well Donabate as well as a weekly drop-in meditation session and facilitates an introduction to mindfulness course for adults in Portmarnock Community School. She is also treasurer of the Mindfulness Teachers Association of Ireland. Mairead is married with 3 children aged from 25 to 20.
