Muireann Banks is an accredited integrative psychotherapist with a background in education and over fifteen years’ experience supporting people through learning, transition, and personal growth. Her therapeutic work is informed by existential psychotherapy, person-centred and attachment approaches, and somatic perspectives including sensorimotor psychotherapy. Muireann has a particular interest in death anxiety and how our awareness of mortality shapes the way we live, love, and make meaning. Drawing on the work of Irvin Yalom, she explores death not as pathology, but as a profound existential reality that, when faced gently, can deepen vitality, authenticity, and compassion. She brings a grounded, reflective, and embodied approach to this workshop, supporting participants to meet difficult questions with curiosity, courage, and kindness.

Eugene Banks has been playing (yes playing!) tai chi for over 20 years and has been teaching for the last eight. As a career civil servant, Eugene was able to bring his tai chi training to bear on many stressful situations in many different environments. Eugene has completed courses in different forms of tai chi, meditation, philosophy and energy therapies. These in turn have led Eugene to take a very positive, balanced approach to life based on the fundamental principle that we only live once.
