    The Art of Wanting

    'to be running breathlessly toward, but not yet arrived is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope...'

    Anne Carson

    with Emma Philbin Bowman and Simon Courtney

    a comprehensive course on Teachable, with 8 live sessions on zoom

    Saturday mornings, 9-11am, October 16-Dec 11 2021

    The Art of Wanting offers a rare opportunity to engage with a theme that touches all of us deeply: how we may live in more authentic, healthy dialogue with our longings and desires.

    Psychotherapist, Writer and Facilitator, Emma Philbin Bowman created this course in response to how easily we can neglect this crucial element in our lives. She and Simon are delighted to be offering a new live group on Saturday mornings from mid-October.

    We have found wanting is a particularly valuable theme to explore in a safe, contained and intentional group. This deepens our sense of the range of each theme and expands our empathy with ourselves and others.

    The course is carefully designed to support each participant's unique journey. Each week contains:

    • a fresh module on teachable organised in brief, digestible kernels
    • our live meeting where we work with the material in the full group and smaller breakout sessions
    • thematic guided meditations for a slower, more embodied process
    • 'Optional Deepening' section for a more comprehensive treatment of the theme

    More info – full curriculum and testimonials here. Book by September 15 for Early Bird IAHIP discount. The code is OCEAN, or use this  link

    “Brilliant, inspiring, warm, engaging...I loved the theme of the course. It met all my expectations and more. I love the style of Emma's facilitation, the quality of teamwork, videos and writings, the generosity of engagement.”

    Ebru Nuhoglu Reilly, Participant

    “I found it an excellent course and it far exceeded my expectations in terms of its richness, content delivery and engagement with other participants. It has opened up new forms of discovery...”

    Wayne Dignam, Participant

    “The live sessions are what made the big difference… I loved the group element and the noticing of similar and different themes and the way they all seemed to add to the richness of the theme - the “we” element was very powerful.”

    Ciara O’Neill, Participant

    “Lightness of Being”: Self-Care Body & Mind Workshop

    This is an embodied journey fusing Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and aspects of YogaSomatics for body and mind sensitisation and rejuvenation. 

    This is a two-hour experiential workshop with an invitation to meet yourself with lightness, spaciousness and subtle awareness. We will use the floor with some Yoga Somatics techniques to make contact with the body to ground, soften and meet ourselves with vibrant sensitivity. This is an exploration about how we can move between the inner, outer and more subtle parts of our being; travel lightly through these fabrics engaging our senses, feeling body and inner awareness. 

    The Yin Yoga practice will be taught through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the 5 Element Theory where we work along the meridians to improve the flow of “chi” or energy. We will connect with the gifts of the Earth Element such as grounding, connection and protection. There will be ample time for stillness which is the essence of Yin and reflection. Stillness allows the body to absorb the energetic benefits of the practice and slows down the thinking mind. We will conclude with a Yoga Nidra effortless guided meditation to allow time for the practices to integrate and come to deep rest. Yoga Nidra, also known as “yogic sleep” is usually practiced lying down and is highly restorative for mind and body. Some ambient pieces of music will be included to allow for immersion and integration. The workshop will conclude with space for silence. 

    Having a body-mind practice is essential to restore our energy and vitality. Deirdre has a particular interest in the subtle body and energetics and how we can use these practices to cultivate our sensory and body awareness, to feel energised, replenished and alive in ourselves and also to client experiences (countertransference/somatic awareness). 

    This combination of yoga, somatic movement techniques, stillness and meditation have come out of Deirdre’s own personal “felt” experience and belief that these restorative practices are an essential self-care tool for therapists and those working in the healing profession. 

    Date: Sunday 12th September 2021

    Time: 3-5pm delivered via Zoom. Recording will be available for a 7-day playback. Zoom link and practicalities will be sent the day before.

    Investment: €40 

    CPD: 2 hours (Certificates of Attendance will be sent post-workshop)

    To book, please visit:

    https://www.livingroomyoga.ie/book-a-class/p/lightness-of-being-self-care-body-amp-mind-workshop

    Suitability: This workshop is suitable for all levels but not for pregnant students. If you have any injuries/illnesses that may affect you practicing, please contact me at the email below to discuss before booking. No previous experience of yoga is required but rather an openness and curiosity to explore.

    Deirdre Madden is a qualified and accredited psychotherapist and yoga teacher based in Dublin. She initially trained as a Vinyasa Flow teacher and then furthered her yoga studies to the practice of Yin Yoga which is slower and more meditative; also known as “mindfulness yoga”. She has recently deepened her yoga journey and undertaken a training in YogaSomatics which is a contemporary perspective of yoga, combining traditional yoga studies, modern somatic approaches, meditative techniques and self-inquiry. 

    She has delivered creative workshops and series blending these body-mind modalities with a focus on inner contact, sensory and subtle awareness and the journey of the Self. Deirdre has a particular interest in working with the subtle body (energy body), energetics and senses. Her inspiration draws from the arts, travel and nature and she also writes some poetry.
