The An Bradan Feasa service first began as a series of Eckhart Tolle Silent Group meetings.  On his website www.eckhart tolle.com, Eckhart offers local groups, who are interested in his teachings, the opportunity to register their meeting details.  Such a group was registered in mid 2008 by Mike Egan, and, for a period of over a year, met fortnightly at Mike's home just outside Drogheda.  In January 2010, a new addition to Mike's family meant that such peaceful meetings might no longer be feasible!!  With an increasing public interest in the areas of mindfulness and meditation, as well as people's stresses associated with current economic and social circumstances, Mike decided to relocate the meetings to a more central and accessible location under the title of An Bradan Feasa - a space in inner peace.

Mike has a long standing interest in the areas of mindfulness and meditation.  He has completed a meditation programme with Sr. Stan Kennedy at The Sanctuary, Dublin(www.sanctuary.ie), has attended a retreat at the Thich Nhat Hanh Plum Village Retreat Centre in France(www.plumvillage.org) and has attended a number of Eckhart Tolle seminars in Dublin, London and Vancouver.  Mike is a regular meditation practitioner and tries to live in as mindful a way as possible.  He has a degree in Communication and a Masters in Education and Training from Dublin City University.  Mike currently works as Manager of Malta Services Drogheda, a support service for people with disabilities.
