We've been delighted to host multiple meditation courses run by Orla at The Sliabh Sneacht Centre. Those who have taken part have come away full of praise, saying they sleep better and feel more relaxed. Orla has a lovely, positive influence on the group, and her kind nature puts people at ease from the very first evening. She teaches simple, practical techniques that clients can carry into everyday life, and the feedback has been wonderful. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to slow down and find a little calm.

Questions
Frequently Asked
Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment, on purpose and without judgement. Through simple meditation practices—focusing on the breath, the body and everyday activities—we learn to notice thoughts and feelings without being carried away by them. It is a secular, practical skill that anyone can learn.
Yes. All programmes are designed for people with no previous experience of meditation. Each practice is introduced step by step, and you'll be supported throughout.
A trauma-informed approach recognises that many people carry difficult experiences, and that some meditation practices can bring up strong feelings. Practices are always offered as invitations, never requirements: you can keep your eyes open, adapt a practice or pause at any time, and we work at a pace that feels safe for you.
Mindfulness-based approaches have been studied extensively over the past forty years. Evidence suggests they can help reduce stress and support wellbeing, focus and resilience.
No. Mindfulness can be a valuable support, but it is not a substitute for medical or psychological care. If you are going through significant mental health difficulties, we'll talk beforehand to make sure a programme is suitable for you, and I'd encourage you to speak with your GP.
Online sessions work very well for mindfulness. Many people find it helpful to practise in their own environment, and online delivery makes it easy for teams in different locations to take part.
