Dear Thây, Dear Sanghas, Dear Members of Mindfulness Ireland, 🪷

Yes, dear friends, Mindfulness Ireland is a CLG – company limited by guarantee – so we have a formal AGM for our beloved community of members. We serve our members and all our Sangha who are listed on our Sangha Directory. Members of Mindfulness Ireland do this in many ways, including:

  • You are supporting Sangha by helping to cover all online Sangha Zoom fees.
  • You are helping to cover insurance costs for in person Sangha gatherings.
  • You are a member of the wider Sangha- contribute your ideas & share your experience.
  • You are offered priority booking for Plum Village Retreats organised by Mindfulness Ireland.
  • A Day of Practice together on 30 March 2025 in Airfield Estate and Gardens

So if you would like to become a member, and would like to share our passion for Sangha, communities practising mindfulness together, in the Plum Village tradition, we would love to welcome you. You are welcome to join us and become a member here: https://www.mindfulnessireland.ie/membership/ . You may also join one of our Sangha directly through our Sangha directly, here: https://www.mindfulnessireland.ie/sangha-directory/

  • Can I attend a half day? Yes, we would be delighted to see you, whatever works best for you.
  • What do I need to bring? There is a café and coffee shop onsite, but you may choose to bring your own lunch, there are benches interspersed on the grounds. We will have practice during the day so you may want to bring a cushion/blanket, whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
  • I have a question for Mindfulness Ireland? Yes we have a question section on the RSVP link so please feel free to ask any questions, or you can email MindfulnessIrelandPV@gmail.com.

I want to raise an issue with M.I. / share a good news story from Sangha/discuss a challenge we’re having? Yes we welcome you to share any issues or challenges with us before our AGM so we can do our best to prepare. Please feel free to share any joy or good news from Sangha so we can share them at the AGM too.

If there is anything else we haven’t covered please let us know.

Many thanks and warmest wishes, The Mindfulness Ireland Caretakers for now,
