MindSlí Studio and Reflection Cafe

This Galway city-centre mindfulness and self-discovery experience opened in the last week of July, nicely coinciding with Race Week.

They're in the ground floor of the Corbett Court shopping centre (ie the north end of the Eyre Square Centre), in the shop that was most recently used as a pop-up Gifts and More store, beside 2K Gifts, and just around the corner from SubCity comics. This has now been transformed into a calmer space, which sells an experience rather than physical product.

What they're offering is a self-discovery session, which is "rooted in science. Inspired by philosophy. Imagined in Galway."

The original offering was a 30-minute trip through 10 science-based stations, where you do (mental) exercises related to your emotional state, inner critic, ideal day, happiness at work, relationships, values and needs - for €35. For this, a guide meets you and directs you through the stations, offers no coaching or personal facilitation. And this is very much an individual journey, there's no group dimension. The creator of the experience, who is described as the studio author, sees it as a space for thinking - the same way we have spaces for shopping, working, and exercising. And you need to book your slot in advance, through their website.

In October 2025, they changed focus a little, adding the "relaxation cafe" title, offering coffee and a menu of mental exercises to choose from.
