Beannacht (New Year Blessing) – John O’Donohue
In keeping with the HSE guidelines concerning the Covid 19 virus, I’m currently offering mindfulness sessions online exclusively. See below for dates and times.
Online Mindfulness Circles
During these sessions we practise mindfulness together as a community as we continue to navigate this time of uncertainty and change. It’s an opportunity for you to experience stillness, awaken the senses, and come home to the body through heart-centred mindfulness practices.
Whether you’ve been practising for some time or are new to mindfulness, you’re welcome.
Sunday, Online Mindfulness Circles January, February, March 2022
The practice of mindfulness and self compassion help us to tune into and familiarise ourselves with our reality, discerning what’s important in our changing lives, while also responding to challenges more skilfully, instead of reacting to what we don’t wish to experience.
Compassion – sometimes described as “a lubricant for the heart” allows us to meet our experience with greater acceptance and care as we deepen into more conscious and tender relationship towards ourselves and others.
I hope you will join me again for some or all of these upcoming sessions.

What is Self-Compassion?
Self-compassion involves treating yourself like you would a good friend who is having a hard time, whatever the circumstances. Our western culture places great emphasis on being kind to our family, friends and neighbours who maybe struggling. But typically we don’t treat ourselves as well as we do those who are close to us.
Self-compassion is a practice in which we learn to be a good friend to ourselves when we need it most – to become an inner ally rather than an inner enemy.
Although a simple way to think about self-compassion is treating yourself as you would treat a good friend, the more complete definition involves three core elements that we bring to bear when we are in pain: Self-kindness, Common Humanity and Mindfulness .
