A workshop for people who are quiet and/or shy with Padraig O’Morain on Zoom

Workshop title: Looking In

Zoom 29th April 7-8pm Ireland/UK time

In this event on 29th April, I'll be talking about being quiet or shy or introverted. They're not always the same thing, but there's a lot of overlap, and I've experienced all of these ways of being in the world.

Over the course of the event, I want to help you to learn how approaches derived from mindful acceptance, from CBT, cognitive behavioural therapy, and other philosophies, can help you to navigate what is often quite a loud world.

Claiming your space in the world

I'm not trying to turn you into an extrovert. I think that whether we're introverted or extroverted has a genetic source probably, but I do want to give you ways of understanding, of accepting yourself, as a quiet or maybe shy person in this world.

The basic approach is to help you navigating your path through this world in a way that is satisfying for you, and that helps you to claim your place and your space in the world, without having to turn yourself inside out or become somebody else.

Outcome

My aim is that you will leave with a better relationship with yourself, a clearer understanding of yourself when you feel socially anxious or when you'd love to go away into a quiet place for a while and that you'll have a small but valuable set of tools that you can start using straight away in everyday life.

Learn:

• People can’t see inside your head

• Sources of shyness or introversion in our makeup

• Acceptance and how it helps you to move forward

• Attitudes and tactics to help you feel at home in social interactions

One hour may seem like a short time in which to cover this ground. However, you will also have access to a video recording of the hour and to an audio as well. In addition I will send notes to all who have booked.

Things people say:

Everyone should attend one of Padraig's classes. The difference between this & most mindfulness courses I've done is that he gives concrete examples of situations where one can apply change. Very down-to-earth and educational at the same time. 2021

The one-hour event went by quickly. It was relaxing, insightful, and enjoyable, made all the more special by the international group of participants. Padraig is a skillful and compassionate teacher. 2020

You can quote me as saying, uplifting, empowering and so worth while. 2021
