Sleep Meditation
Focus Ireland founder Sr. Stan will guide you through a relaxing meditation to help you relax and prepare for your sleep out challenge.
Get cosy in your sleeping bag, find a comfortable position, and let the meditation guide you to a peaceful slumber.
The Sanctuary is a meditation centre for social change in the heart of Dublin City. It is a charity founded by Sr. Stan Kennedy in 1998, inspired by Sr Stan’s own personal practice of contemplation and meditation and its ability to sustain her in her commitment to work with people experiencing homelessness.
