About this Event
This is a weekend to step out of the noise of ordinary life and spend some quiet time with yourself. A space for meditation, reflection, and good company in a comfortable venue in central Dublin. Whether you've been practising for years or have never sat in meditation before, you're welcome here.
A rich introduction for those new to meditation. A chance to refresh and go deeper for those already practising. Mindfulness, Meditation and beyond — discovering your inner treasure.
About the weekend
The weekend begins on Friday evening. A gentle opening — introductions, a first taste of practice together, and time to settle into the space.
On Saturday we explore the innate qualities of awareness and love and compassion. Sunday morning is wisdom, with the final afternoon bringing everything together. You can expect a balance of guided meditation, short talks, time for discussion, and gentle movement. There'll be a lunch break and tea breaks on both Saturday and Sunday.
The weekend closes with a final integration practice and time to share together, ending around 5pm on Sunday.
The teaching
The weekend draws on the Anytime Anywhere Meditation curriculum developed by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche through Tergar International. Mark is a certified AAM teacher, and brings his own voice to the teaching.
About Mark
Mark has been practising meditation for over twenty years, in the Buddhist tradition and through the Diamond Approach. He's a trained psychotherapist and a certified teacher of the Anytime Anywhere Meditation programme, and volunteers as a practice leader for the Tergar Dublin Meditation Community. Alongside this work he runs a weekly lunchtime meditation series at RTÉ, where he has worked as a sound engineer for over thirty years.
