We know there is a deep desire within the mindfulness community for practice and connection.
In 2021 we launched the Mindfulness Network Community Friends (MNCF) – an initiative to engage the wider mindfulness community and reach new audiences through donation-based events and opportunities to practice. Led by a Committee of Volunteers, supported by the Mindfulness Network, we work together to run a programme of events and inspiring content. The Committee ensures that the MNCF can best serve everyone by providing opportunities to practice and learn together.
Full details of mindfulness-based Affinity Groups and events can be found in the MNCF area of our Community site, which is open to all.

Bangor Mindfulness 20th Anniversary
in 2021, we celebrated 20 years of mindfulness at Bangor University through a series of monthly online events, talks and shared reflections; the line-up of high-profile speakers during this year of celebration included Mark Williams and Rebecca Crane. Donations raised from attending and viewing these events will help to fund our bursaries, which enable us to remove financial barriers for those wishing to use our charity’s services.
