We also run workshops and formal training courses in Mindfulness, and we offer a great opportunity to meet other local people who use Mindfulness or who are interested in the subject...
We meet every week (either in-person or online) to learn about Mindfulness, to share together in periods of guided group meditation, and to relax and socialise in the company of other likeminded people.
As well as these weekly, drop-in sessions, we also run occasional weekend workshops teaching Mindfulness, plus (throughout the year) we run structured, 8 week courses that offer training in the theory and practice of Mindfulness in an in-depth, step-by-step way...
We're a friendly community of local people who are interested in Mindfulness. To find out more about us just scroll down...

Mindfulness is a very simple form of meditation that was little known in the West until recently. A typical meditation consists of focusing your full attention on your breath as it flows in and out of your body. Focusing on each breath in this way allows you to observe your thoughts as they arise in your mind and, little by little, to let go of struggling with them. You come to realise that thoughts come and go of their own accord; that you are not your thoughts. You can watch as they appear in your mind, seemingly from thin air, and watch again as they disappear, like a soap bubble bursting. You come to the profound understanding that thoughts and feelings (including negative ones) are transient. They come and they go, and ultimately, you have a choice about whether to act on them or not.

The Nottingham Mindfulness Group uses Mindfulness teaching and techniques drawn from many different, respected sources (both spiritual
and therapeutic) and it is aligned to no one school, tradition or branch of Mindfulness practice. However, a key inspiration and reference
point for our activities is the teaching and work of Thích Nhất Hạnh and the Plum Village Community.
For more about Thích Nhất Hạnh and Plum Village see:

Shaun Glossop is an experienced MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) teacher who trained under NHS supervision with the Nottingham Centre for Mindfulness.

He is also a member of the National Counselling Society and is listed with them as an Accredited Counsellor.
Shaun & Jamie's teaching (and the wider work of the Nottingham Mindfulness Group) is guided by the Best Practice statements of the Mindfulness Network and BAMBA (the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches).

Meditation and Mindful Living
Nottingham Mindfulness Group is a local group for anyone interested in Mindfulness, either as a form of spiritual practice or as a practical technique for living a better, calmer, more focussed and more productive life. The group holds regular, weekly meetings which offer (in a friendly, relaxed and informal atmosphere) the opportunity to learn about Mindfulness, to try-out some Mindfulness techniques and various methods of Mindfulness meditation, plus the chance to meet and get to know other people who are interested in Mindfulness, or in meditation in general.
The weekly meetings include talks by guest speakers, periods of Mindfulness meditation, film and video presentations, information about Mindfulness events, classes and courses that are happening locally, and the opportunity to get to know other members of the group in an easy, relaxed way over refreshments. All are welcome and membership is free. These meetings are casual and "open", and they provide an opportunity to encounter Mindfulness in an easy and straightforward way. Meetings take place every week in the heart of the Nottingham city centre.
