The skinny on “this thing called Mindfulness” from Ruby Wax

rubywaxWhile out and about in Dublin town last week, Act The Maggot got to meet the amazing comedian #RubyWax at her one-woman show #Frazzled at the O’Reilly Theatre in Belvedere College. Her book, of the same name, is definitely worth a read. Lots of laugh-out-loud sections. In all good bookstores now. She has a very entertaining take on the whole reason we need to factor daily meditation into our lives. It is based on her own personal experience. If you are interested in this subject, why not come along to one of our introductory Mind Yourself workshops. Take a look at the testimonials and decide for yourself. In the meantime, namaste!

Public Speaking is not so terrifying after all!

the-singing-stageHere are some of the latest testimonials from our March beginners’ acting class in Temple Bar. These maggots were a keen bunch and it seems like they had lots of fun. More power to them. Thank you all for taking the time to give us feedback so we can continue to refine and improve what we offer.

“I had so much fun at Act the Maggot and I met some really great people. And I also learned that speaking in front of a group isn’t as terrifying as I thought and I can actually do it!”

“I had a lot of fun acting the maggot! I couldn’t wait to see what crazy and entertaining exercises we would do next. Learning about improvisation has helped in my every day life.”

“I had an absolute ball doing the course. It’s great to push oneself out of the comfort zone. Everyone who did the course was really, really lovely and I’ll definitely be going back for round two 🙂 !”

“I had an amazing time doing this course, learned a lot about myself and met loads of amazing people. I would do this course again.”

“A brilliant course – great for people who want to get outside their comfort zone and experience something new.”
