Hello

Here at the Mindfulness Association, Mindfulness is a way of life and not a brief intervention for relieving symptoms. Our unique compassion-based mindfulness courses are for life. Our Mindfulness courses cater for beginners, experienced practitioners, those that want to train to teach Mindfulness and experienced teachers
We have a members community, a mindfulness for life programme with some great retreats and a continuing professional development program for all the teachers out there.

Mindfulness Association Courses
The Mindfulness Association has compassion at the heart of everything it does.
We provide secular mindfulness training, based on a legacy of ancient practice, and applied for a modern society.
“The Mindfulness Association really has a great long legacy and history behind it. There is no better organisation that knows these practices, which go back thousands of years, and can apply them in modern society. Amongst any other options, I would always go with this association. Everything I have learned from them has made me feel that even more”

A word from our team
It has been our extraordinary privilege to work as part of a wonderful team in the development of the Mindfulness Association over the past decade. We were all fortunate enough to find Rob Nairn as our meditation teacher and then work with him in the setting up of the Mindfulness Association. All our lives have changed, beyond recognition, for the better, due to the practice of mindfulness, compassion and insight meditation and it our delight to share this practice with those that we teach. We hope that the resources on this website, our membership and our online and face to face offerings enable you to benefit in a similar way.
