All our teaching team are members of the Mindfulness Teachers Association of Ireland (MTAI), the professional body for teachers of Mindfulness-Based Programmes in Ireland. We all adhere to the Standards for Teaching Mindfulness developed by the MTAI (read the guidelines here).
We are all highly trained mindfulness teachers and share a commitment to on-going personal daily mindfulness meditation practice, engagement in regular supervision, ongoing training, annual attendance on retreats and a high standard of ethics in relation to our teaching and practice of mindfulness.

Josephine and Helen established the centre in 2008 and since then it has been a place of best practice in Ireland for the teaching of evidence based mindfulness programmes and teacher training. They have been instrumental in mentoring and encouraging many mindfulness teachers over the years including Erica, Barry and Rachel who are also directors of the centre.
As well as being mindfulness teachers, Rachel, Barry and Erica are mental health professionals. Rachel is a mental health occupational therapist specialising in neurodiversity. Erica and Barry are psychotherapists and currently lead our mindfulness teacher training programme.
We are very proud to be part of this wonderful team of teachers, all of whom are members of the MTAI, the professional body for Mindfulness Teachers in Ireland, and adhere to the MTAI good practice guidelines.
We believe in the power of mindfulness and compassion
to change our relationship with ourselves,
to change our relationships with each other,
to help create a more compassionate, just society and
to wake us up to the urgency of changing our relationship with the environment.
We are committed to sharing mindfulness with people of all cultural and religious backgrounds, ethnicities, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages and levels of education. It is our intention to support people in applying the essence of mindfulness to every aspect of daily life.
We are committed to honouring the ethical framework which underpins mindfulness, supporting the cultivation of the inner and outer conditions which allow all beings to thrive and which lead to a more mindful and just society. We recognise that many people face discrimination and social injustice on a daily basis and we are determined to name this wherever we see it and also to be open to learning about ways in which we ourselves may be contributing to this discrimination.
We are also committed to supporting the planet in all the ways available to us, including reducing our need for paper and plastics, recycling, composting and using ecological products wherever we can.
