About
The Highland Mindfulness Group was initially an informal group set up by former Drumnadrochit GP Dr Peter Wilkes well over 15 years ago. The Group has since evolved and became a registered charity in 2020. It now draws on the skills of a team of 11 trained mindfulness facilitators.
This is a secular group unattached to any religious movement or lineage. Whilst it does not affiliate to any religion, it does of course welcome those with religious beliefs.
Free drop-in sessions on Zoom 6 days a week with guided meditation practices (beginners welcome). The group also offers:
- Free drop-in session face to face every fortnight in Inverness to support people’s ongoing mindfulness practice (beginners welcome)
- Range of courses – including beginner’s mindfulness courses (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course and the Mindfulness Based Living Course), Kindfulness self-care course, and Insight meditation courses.
- Regular meditation days in Inverness
- ‘Slow down Saturdays’ in Golspie (resuming September 2025)
- Mindfulness in Nature sessions
- Residential weekend mindfulness retreats in the Highlands
- Taster sessions for groups and organisations can be arranged, as well as day workshops.
- Free meditation recordings – please explore their website where you can listen to many guided practices.
Events and services are for people aged over 18.
