Mindfulness Matters

Mindfulness Matters was founded by Ann Caulfield and Derval Dunford to offer opportunities to teachers, parents and children to discover quiet space in the mind. Mindfulness Matters offers courses and resources to assist in the discovery of present moment awareness, calm and confidence. Having worked individually for many years in mindfulness, relaxation, life-coaching and facilitation, Ann and Derval came together in 2011 to design a course for the Mayo Education Centre. Its director, Art O’Súilleabháin, suggests that when they came together ‘magic happened'. That magic was later recognised by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland when Mindfulness Matters was short-listed for their 2103 awards. Mindfulness Matters has designed an innovative course for primary school teachers. Entitled 'Developing Mindfulness & Happiness in Primary School Children’ this course is available Face-to-Face and On-Line and has been sanctioned by the Department of Education.
Mindfulness Matters also work with corporate groups, family centres, GMIT and HSE.
