About The Mindfulness Association

This page tells you a little bit about the Mindfulness Association. Our mindfulness courses provide an in-depth, personal, experiential practice of mindfulness that are part of a lifelong journey.  We learn how to be present, respond with compassion and see deeply into our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This three-tiered approach enables us to embody our practice as a way of life. The structure of our training is in method – the process of learning mindfulness and attitude – cultivating kindness and compassion towards ourselves and others. 

We also provide:

• Mindfulness teacher training
• Compassion teacher training
• Annual mindfulness practice retreats
• The opportunity to study mindfulness in depth on the MSc Studies in Mindfulness in partnership with The University of Aberdeen.
• Weekend workshops for Continued Professional Development for Mindfulness teachers. 

Our training is based on the work of Rob Nairn. Rob is one of the world pioneers in presenting meditation training in a way that is accessible to the Western mind. He was asked to teach meditation by the Dalai Lama. His experience of over forty years of teaching meditation to Westerners has enabled him to develop a unique experiential and evidence based training in mindfulness, and so the Mindfulness Association was created to support this. 

We are one of the top mindfulness training providers in the UK. We have been delivering 100s of compassion-based mindfulness meditation courses over 10 years across the UK and Europe. 

All our courses are experiential and evidence based and draw from a broad range of disciplines, including neuroscience, evolutionary psychology and Buddhism.
