Ananda Programmes
Ananda Programmes presents a comprehensive and innovative programme in Mindfulness Meditation to Secondary School Students. Mindfulness is a technique for living in the now. It is a skill which provides an understanding of what gives rise to stress and how to handle anxiety more effectively.
The programme came into being after Anne gave Transition Year students an introduction to mindfulness and the importance of living with a high level of self-awareness. Their feedback and appreciation was so positive that Anne decided to adapt her adult programme and tailored it for this age group with very positive results.
Anne would like every school in Ireland to offer students the experience and understanding of the benefits of stilling the mind through Mindfulness Meditation. It is a life skill and discipline that she believes will benefit students in school and university and also into their working lives.
“My grand design is for our young adults to have a greater understanding of the importance and benefits of stilling the mind, of using calmness as a vehicle to access their inner strengths and wisdom.”
