Welcome to the Mindfulness Association

We are a welcoming and compassionate organisation offering information about mindfulness and a wide range of courses that support people in their training and practice in mindfulness, compassion, insight and wisdom.

We believe that Mindfulness is a way of life and not a brief intervention for relieving symptoms. Our unique compassion-based mindfulness courses are for life and 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.

The Mindfulness Association is a member of the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA).  Our tutor team have decades of experience,  adhere to BAMBA’s good practice guidelines and are listed on the BAMBA listing of mindfulness teachers. Our teacher training meets the requirements of the BAMBA good practice guidelines.

It has been our extraordinary privilege to work as part of a wonderful team in the development of the Mindfulness Association since the organisation was founded in May 2010. We were all fortunate to have Rob Nairn as a teacher and friend and then work with him to set up 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 is our delight to share this practice with those that we teach. We hope that the resources on this website, our membership, online and face to face offerings benefit you in a similar way.
