Autumn Mindfulness workshops at Oscailt:
Advanced Mindfulness Courses
Mindfulness and Beyond
Mindfulness is rooted in a particular psychological matrix which is compatible with although different from our western psychological models. This course will explore the psychology of mindfulness placing it within the context of Buddhist psychology and comparing it with our own psychological models. During the course we will examine and discuss:
Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipatthána Sutta)
All mindfulness trainings, including MBSR and MBCT, are based on the Satipatthána Sutta. This sutta (text) is recognised by all schools of Buddhism as the most fundamental and comprehensive teaching on the practice of mindfulness. It outlines the four places – body, feelings, mind and objects of mind – where mindfulness is cultivated. During the course we will explore this text and engage in some of the practices outlined to deepen our understanding of mindfulness.
The above courses will be run between September and December 2013. Please check our website for more details.
These courses will be facilitated by Mary O’Callaghan IAHIP EAP. As well as being an experienced mindfulness trainer, Mary is an accredited psychotherapist and supervisor. She has an MA in Jungian Studies. Before becoming a psychotherapist she lived as a buddhist nun and underwent intensive training in buddhist psychology and meditation practices. She is now committed to integrating mindfulness practices into everyday life.
Residential Retreat: Mindfulness of the Body
This retreat, led by Mary O’Callaghan, will take place on Cape Clear Island between 20th and 23rd Sept 2013. (For information on this retreat check our website.)

Galway Psychotherapy & Consulting
Annual Summer Experiential Workshop
Exploring and Owning Your
Power and Authority
Thursday, 27th June, 2013, to Saturday 29th June, 2013.
Mike O’Halloran and Evelyn P. Gilmore
The workshop provides an opportunity for psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, educators, managers, health care professionals, and allied professionals, to enhance their awareness of their own power and authority. In addition, as participants gain greater awareness of these aspects of themselves, they will gain greater insight as to how to help their clients explore and own their own power and authority. Many individuals do not fully own their own powerfulness and project it onto others: friends, partners, siblings, colleagues; or onto organisations, and experience themselves as relatively powerless in interpersonal or organisational life. In addition, individuals who may be formally qualified as professionals, or who may be formally appointed to roles with authority, experience difficulty exercising their authority, due to internal feelings of powerlessness.
The ‘internal world’ of the person is fundamental to how he or she experiences and uses power and authority. This, in turn, is largely a function of the person’s relationships with past authority figures such as parents and teachers. Self-doubt, can lead to the person never being able to fully experience his or her powerfulness, whilst it’s opposite, an inflated self-image, can lead to authoritarianism. When individuals explore their relationship with power and authority, they can experience much greater aliveness and energy, an expanded sense of personality, and greater choice in life.
During the three days, participants will be provided with an opportunity to explore the following:
Style of the Workshop
The learning over the three days is highly experiential with a focus on participant’s process and experience. We will use Gestalt work, Biodynamic work, attention to Dreams, and small and large Group Process. The work will include Music, Movement, Dance, Drawing, and Guided Visualisation to bring into the present aspects of the participant’s relationship to Power that are normally outside awareness.

A workshop is taking place on Saturday June 22nd in the Sheldon Park Hotel, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12 for counsellors and psychotherapists working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender clients or anyone who would like to improve their understanding of working with Gender and Sexual Diversity.
This training is being given by Dominic Davies FBACP of Pink Therapy www.pinktherapy.co.uk.
This one day workshop will explore contemporary perspectives on working with gender and sexual identities, an area which has generally not been included in the training for most therapists, and yet gender and sexual minority clients are over represented in the therapy populations and research shows, have poorer mental health and higher substance abuse issues than the majority population. This is believed to be due to minority stress and not indicative of any underlying psychopathology.
This workshop will explore the social context for gender and sexual minorities and look at some of the key tenets of gender and sexual diversity therapy and how these can be integrated into the current theoretical models of the participants and explore some things to bear in mind in working with non-monogamies and same sex relationships.
For further information visit http://www.oakleafcounselling.com/workshop-with-dominic-davies.html
The cost of this workshop is €100 for the day.

Mindfulness is a simple but profound practice that is rooted in ancient Eastern traditions. Over the last 30 years Western medicine and science have come to recognise its benefits as a resource to help individuals deal with a variety of physical and emotional difficulties. These include stress, serious illness, chronic pain, bereavement, and other life challenges, while also offering a way of developing positive mental qualities and emotional wellbeing.
