Mindfulness Association C.I.C.

Over the course of the year the company delivered 54 modules of mindfulness-based training (each module amounts to 10 to 13 hours of live teaching) and 4 five-day retreats for 843 attendees from the general public with the aim of enhancing their wellbeing. We also delivered 11 hours of online sessions to practitioner members and approximately 520 free meditation sessions to the general public. We also offered 4 teacher training weekends, and 2 retreats attended by over 80 mindfulness teachers, with 18 mindfulness teachers completing their teacher training according to the requirements of the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA). We delivered 17 hours of online teaching and Q&A sessions to teacher members. These teachers will go on to teach and share the benefits of mindfulness with their communities. We train and support a team of mindfulness supervisors in accordance with BAMBA requirements, who supervise the mindfulness teachers that we train. We have fully subsidised 50 course places for participants who would otherwise have found themselves financially disadvantaged from taking part in mindfulness training. In addition, we supported 61 students in their master’s degree studies via our partnerships with the University of Aberdeen and the University of the West of Scotland.
