I would like to praise Mark on the success of his newly founded Barnes Mindfulness Group and would highly recommend it to others considering the benefits of joining a professionally led in-person mindfulness group.

The thing that made it special for me was the inclusivity in the classes. Everyone was encouraged to share their experiences of the preceding short shared guided meditation. There was no pressure to do so, and Mark led the sessions in a very thoughtful and sensitive manner. I’m normally shy and an introvert by nature, but even I felt encouraged by the rest of the group to share my own experience, and I felt comfortable doing so.

It can be hard to quantify the benefits of mindfulness, but I found myself to be noticeably calmer for the following few days after the session and found myself less reactionary and calmer when I was facing situations I may have previously found triggering.

As always, it’s about putting this good work into effect in the heat of the moment, and as Mark reminded us all, we must show ourselves compassion, forgiveness, and most importantly, keep practicing. To that end, I can’t wait to reserve my place again in Mark’s Barnes Mindfulness Group in 2026.
