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.
