November Mindfulness Calendar 2024
As we move towards the darker evenings and longer nights, how are you feeling? How might…
We are a welcoming and compassionate organisation offering information about mindfulness and a wide range of mindfulness training courses that support people in their practice of mindfulness, compassion and insight.
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. 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.
See our latest courses below to find the course for you. Our team have decades of experience. The Mindfulness Association is a member of the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA), and our teacher training meets the requirements of the BAMBA good practice guidelines.
Mindfulness is proven to be beneficial for mental health and wellbeing in the right circumstances, but please note these mindfulness meditation practice sessions are not a treatment for mental health problems or addiction

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.

Rob Nairn is the founder of the Mindfulness Association and developed a systematic and effective Mindfulness training on which our Mindfulness courses are based. He has guided us and many of his students meeting obstacles we face with curiosity and self kindness.
Rob’s unique blend of training and experience in law and psychology as well as having received teachings by distinguished Buddhist meditation teachers enables him to explain Mindfulness concepts from a Western psychological and secular perspective. His students have benefited from his experience and friendly sense of humour

The MA tutor team lead the daily sits on a voluntary basis. If you find the sits beneficial and if you are able to, the tutor team would be delighted if you could make a donation to the Everyone Project. In this way we can all continue to support each other through the benefit of mindfulness. Just £5 will pay for one session of the Mindfulness Based Living Course to be delivered to one person. Part of this work has been made possible by an award from People’s Postcode Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. See www.everyoneproject.org for more information about our work. Thank you!
