Sarah-Jane Cullinane was a Fellow of Education for Sustainable Development in Trinity College Dublin. She previously worked in Trinity Business School where her work evolved through areas spanning from HRM, Organisational Behaviour and Wellbeing, to the Climate and Ecological Crises, developing transdisciplinary modules with colleagues along the way. As an experienced mindfulness teacher and facilitator, Sarah-Jane is particularly interested in creating supportive space for people to explore their deep ecology and relationship with the natural world, to grieve for its unfolding destruction, and to cultivate their collective resilience and agency for deep transformation.

Josephine Lynch, MA, comes from a background of bodymind medicine. For the last 15 years she shared mindfulness in a variety of settings and for some time has been interested in using these skills to broaden our deep concerns towards the living planets and all beings. She knows how getting together in community is highly supportive, and that as individuals it is easy to get overwhelmed and disheartened. Josephine enjoys working with a sense of collaboration and being part of the creativity that always emerges.
