Neurodivergent Mindfulness: Drop-In Evening Session

​This is offered on a sliding scale: €20 / €35 / €50. (Concession places available. We do not want to make the money an obstacle for anyone so if you can afford to pay more, this can help others to attend.)

​The Mindfulness and Compassion Centre is introducing a new in person drop in for individuals who identify as neurodivergent or are exploring whether a neurodivergent profile is relevant to them.
Neurodivergence is an umbrella term that refers to brains that process experiences differently, and covers some neurotypes such as Autism, Dyspraxia and ADHD.   As more is understood about these neurotypes, many adults are becoming curious about whether they fall within a neurodivergent profile. Mindfulness can be a valuable tool for self-awareness, regulation, and well-being, but some traditional approaches and spaces may not always feel accessible.
We want to create a friendly, neuro affirmative space that is inclusive to people who might have a different experience of mindfulness due to neurodivergence. There is an ever-expanding online resource for mindfulness and neurodivergence which we can draw on to inform our exploration and sessions together
This space will be facilitated by Rachel Ardagh-Occupational Therapist and Mindfulness Teacher. She is currently exploring how she approaches mindfulness through these lenses, and how best to tailor mindfulness, and compassion practices for her own brain and nervous system-and for those who she works with in her clinical work and mindfulness groups.
In the group, we will strive to maintain a neuro-affirmative and non-judgemental attitude to support a compassionate journey of exploration and sharing.
