Padraig O'\u0080\u0099Morain who will be reading from and discussing his humorous and insightful take on mindfulness \u00e2\u0080"Mindfulness On The Go". \u0099 The event which is part of the 23rd Aspects Irish Literature Festival will be taking place at The Council Chamber in The Town Hall, Bangor on Saturday 27 September at 4pm. Tickets cost \u00a312 \/ \u00a310 concession.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of Ireland\u2019s most highly regarded\u00a0 practitioners\u00a0 on\u00a0 \u2018Mindfulness\u2019, Padraig O\u2019Morain will be sharing his knowledge and practical advice on how to slow down, refocus and practice a form of mindfulness that actually fits in with your hectic life.<\/p>\n

Learn mindfulness techniques that will become a seamless part of your daily routine and will enable you to feel calmer and less stressed at home, as a parent, in your relationships or when travelling.<\/p>\n

Padraig\u2019s book \u2018Mindfulness on the Go\u2019 was sparked by an encounter with a very busy woman who took 4 years to get to one of his courses (and still had to dash to a meeting in the middle of it!).\u00a0 Padraig will be reading from and discussing his humorous and insightful take on mindfulness.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent opportunity to learn life changing skills and be entertained at the same time.<\/p>\n
