This November 15th we will hold our first in-person AGM in 6 years. The move to online connection after the pandemic, which forced the last in-person AGM to be cancelled in 2020, has had many advantages for flexibility but also a loss of personal contact amongst members. The board would like to offer a physical space this year with members for reconnection, reflection and creative planning. There’s so much the MTAI are doing and could be doing, and so many members working across so many contexts, groups and settings that can support one another and ignite creative innovations and collaborations.

Our 2025 AGM will begin at 11am in The Abbeyleix Manor Hotel, with tea / coffee and mindful movement available from 10am, and run until 2pm. Complementary light lunch will be provided during the AGM, and all are invited to join our guided mindful bog walk on the Abbeyleix Bog Project afterwards at 2.15pm.

We are delighted to announce that we will be joined by our patron, Dr. Tony Bates, on the day for some words of inspiration. We will also hear updates from our board of directors, subcommittees and for ample input and sharing amongst members.

The AGM is not only for those currently teaching MBIs, but for any members who are interested in the application of mindfulness in any context in their work and personal lives. We need a diversity of experiences and perspectives!

A carpooling sheet will be shared with those registered who would like to offer / receive a lift so there will be plenty of ways to get there by carpool or public transport with lifts from Portlaoise station.

We look forward to seeing you there!
