Our next sessions are on 14th May with Rhona and 28th May with Catherine.
Our fortnightly drop in meetings are open to anyone over 18. Beginners welcome. These sessions consist of silent and guided meditation practices, and informal discussions to provide an opportunity for participants to talk about their mindfulness practice. The sessions are led by various facilitators including Rhona, Diana and Catherine.
Please bring anything you need to be comfortable – e.g. blanket, cushion, yoga mat if you wish to lie down, and something to drink if you wish. These sessions are free but we welcome any donations. No need to book.
If travelling by car, please allow extra time to find a parking space as the RNI car park is often very busy. Please don’t worry if you are late – just enter quietly!
MINDFULNESS DAYS IN INVERNESS
Friday 24th April 2026 from 10am – 3pm at The Treehouse in Inverness – “Silence in the Storm”
Our next Mindfulness day will be facilitated by Diana Woodman. Today’s world is often so busy, so loud, so demanding, even when we’re enjoying life, and often when we’re not. In this mindfulness day, we will look at ways of negotiating the busy-ness, quietening the noise and softening the demands. We will explore ways of inviting space into our lives, accessing calm and letting go what doesn’t serve us. In doing so, we will open ourselves to what is important in our lives – people, places and things we cherish – and being more available when they call us.
Please book your place in advance by emailing Daniel (admin) on highlandmindfulness@gmail.com
To help with room hire costs – suggested donation £10 – £20. Please don’t let affordability be a barrier to attendance. Over 18s only.
Tea/coffee will be provided. Bring your own lunch and feel free to have a walk along the nearby Caledonian Canal. Free car parking.
Venue: The Treehouse, Carsegate Road, Inverness IV3 8EX
The Treehouse has a spacious room overlooking the Muirtown Basin plus the use of a kitchen. It is run by Scottish Canals and is accessed via Carsegate Road in Inverness (map link).
