WHO WE ARE
The Highland Mindfulness Group was initially an informal group set up by former Drumnadrochit GP Dr Peter Wilkes some 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 its does not affiliate to any religion, it does of course welcome those with religious beliefs.
The Highland Mindfulness Group is a team effort involving Allan, Catherine, Diana, Elke, Jan, Liz, Meg, Peter, Rona, Stephen and Val as facilitators, with Daniel, Elaine, Hilary and Susan helping with admin and governance.

Mindfulness is a well validated scientific approach which can help with stress, anxiety, depression, isolation and chronic pain while supporting people to become more resilient.
