About Máire
My training as a mindfulness based stress reduction teacher was with Linda Lehrhaupt and the Insititute for Mindfulness Based Approaches. I hold a Masters (hons) in Applied Spirituality from South East Technological University (SETU) and a Masters (hons) in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care from Dublin City University (DCU).
In 2011, I was drawn to Plum Village where I met Thick Nhat Hanh and his monks. I learnt much there about stillness, acceptance, and our common humanity. I was gifted by the monks with the Buddhist name Easeful Breath of the Heart.
I have worked as an educator for thirty six years. I deliver mindfulness programmes for young people, educators, theatre makers, and social and community workers.
I serve on the Board of The Abbey Theatre and the Board of Youth Theatre Ireland.
Meditation is a consistent nourishing companion and practice in my life.
