5 Week Mindfulness for Neurodiversity Course with Rachel Ardagh

​Cost: €300 (some concession prices are available)

​Rachel Ardagh is a Mindfulness Teacher and Mental Health Occupational Therapist in The Mindfulness and Compassion Therapy Centre, who specialises in supporting neurodivergent young people and adults in her practice.

​This bespoke online course will be held over 5 weeks and is open to neurodivergent adults from age 18 onwards. All neurotypes are welcome, and you do need not need a formal diagnosis to attend. The emphasis of the course will draw on evidence and practices predominantly for ADHD, AuDHD, or traits of these neurotypes.

​Aims of this course

​- To support neurodivergent adults to understand how to implement mindfulness in their daily lives through an experiential and supportive group environment.

​- To provide participants with accessible and sustainable mindfulness practices and tools to use in between sessions and when the course is complete.

​- To help with understanding the 'how' of mindfulness and compassion practices. Learn how it specifically helps neurodivergent adults - why it can be tricky, and how we can make it accessible and practical for those who are neurodivergent. We will also look at the strong evidence base for this.

​- To explore self compassion, and how to begin to implement this to support moments of difficulty with self criticism, and difficulty with executive functioning.

​- Questions and answers with Rachel to help you leave with more capability to apply mindfulness to your day to life-from the pleasant moments-to the ones that overwhelm.
