Programmes, training, and events designed to help young people grow, reflect, and thrive.
Programmes, training, and events designed to help young people grow, reflect, and thrive.
At The Sanctuary, we believe in creating meaningful experiences for young people that support their emotional development, self-awareness, and sense of connection. Through dedicated programmes, awareness days, and special events, we provide opportunities for mindfulness and personal growth tailored to younger audiences and those who support them.
Our Awareness Days offer a powerful introduction to mindfulness for school classes and youth groups. These sessions help young people understand how meditation and self-awareness can support them through the challenges of growing up. All sessions are delivered by a panel of experienced, fully trained facilitators.
Duration: 10am – 2pm
Cost: €400–€600 (based on group size)
Suitable for: 20–30 students
Shorter in duration and tailored to suit the specific age group
Created by Brother Richard Hendrick and Niamh Bruce, the Mindful Warrior Programme draws on storytelling, movement, mindfulness, and wisdom traditions to support young people on their path to adulthood.
This experiential programme is designed for students from 6th class to 2nd year, especially those who benefit from a non-traditional, holistic approach to personal development. It includes:
Mindfulness and movement practices
Reflective emotional exercises
Cultural and artistic expression
A framework of initiation rooted in adolescent development
