wishing you all the best in your new ventures. Its hard to imagine the mindfulness association without you. thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wisdom, kindness and laughter we have shared and helping me along this path as a practionner and teacher. Love, Gail

I will continue to have fond memories of chatting over a large glass of red wine at Kings Cross station and the train journey back up North following one of our MSc weekends.

Your success in your new venture will be thoroughly deserved and as part of this community, I feel forever indebted to your skill and generosity for everything you have ever shared, created and taught. Thankfully, much of which is recorded.

Thank you Heather and wishing you all the very best in this next phase of life. Love Bernadette xx

Many Thanks from me, for being there. From the pandemic onwards, with the daily sits and online retreats. For leading the Mindfulness Association.

You have become an absolute star.

Take care and good luck with what comes next,

Gary

You truly inspired me to allow changes in my life with your warmth and calm approach.

May I wish you success and all the very best for your next endeavour.

Thank you very much for being such a big part of all the courses and teacher trainings I did with the MA, leading to a new life. I don't know how you had the energy to do all the things you did so I hope you manage some lovely downtime with Rosie and Iona, and Archie. Namaste 🙏❤️

Your teaching has meant a great deal to me, more than I think I ever fully expressed in the moment. There are people who pass on practices, and then there are those rare individuals whose presence subtly changes the way you see and understand things. You have been that kind of teacher for me.

I often think of a night sky and how, among so many distant lights, there are a few stars that feel steady enough to guide you. You have been one of those rare points of light in my own learning ~ quiet, consistent, and somehow always there when needed.

Thank you for your generosity, your patience, and the care you brought to every session. It has stayed with me, and it continues to shape the way I think and practice.

I wish you are filled with ease, beauty, and the kind of spaciousness you have helped so many others to find in themselves. 🙏David Harrison.

Accepting the impermanence of life and its inevitable changes, especially the parts we may not particularly like, is not always an easy straightforward process. I have been struggling to imagine the MA without you at the helm. For me, you have always acted as my anchor, that steady, rooted, reliable guiding light. A lighthouse reflecting the strength of the unshakable rock it is built on, showing us the way through all kinds of weather. Your light always held a clear direction of travel safely navigating us through the storms of life, when our own ships' navigation systems started to falter or become weary. You have brought more to my life in the last 7 years than you will ever know, Heather, and I am eternally grateful for that. Not only through your teaching and guidance, but also simply from being that steady constant source of inner strength and compassion. One of my circle of allies. I thank you with my whole heart and wish you so much joy and happiness in your next adventure along this extraordinary life.

Much love and blessings Mia Middleton x

I will really miss you! You have been such an integral part of my mindfulness journey. Your teachings have been both an inspiration - and a challenge - I'm continuing to 'enjoy' working with some of the Wisdom materials! I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend a number of retreats with you - last year's Body Like a Mountain retreat on Holy Isle felt pretty special then - it is something I will now always hold close to my heart.

Your contribution to the Mindfulness Association is immeasurable and it will be very strange without you. However, it's lovely to know we can continue to access recordings from your Daily Sit and teaching sessions and of course to read the books you co-authored. Thank you so much for all of the teachings you have offered, always with such warmth, openness and kindness.

Wishing you all the very best with your new endeavour - what a lovely name, 'Beachcomber'! May you flourish in this next chapter of your life.

With love and much gratitude. Barbara x

A warm hug,

Mireia.

Thanks for all the support and guidance you have given me as I develop a mindful life and as a teacher. I have learned so much from your clarity and way of explaining mindfulness and Buddhist concepts into relatable, accessible and meaningful teachings for today. Your legacy will live on in all whom you have shared mindfulness with through the MA and through the books you have given us. I particularly want to thank you for helping me navigate how to Live Well to Die Well. I look forward to seeing how your own new venture develops and wish you much joy with your lovely four legged friends.

Warm wishes and gratitude. Cath x

Love and all good things to you, Marge

Love Nina.

Sorry to hear you are leaving. Thank you so much for your service to the MA, your presence at the Daily Sit and the wisdom you imparted in the Insight Module. Enjoy your new adventures with the pups.

Fiona

I have benefited through many courses, retreats, training, practices with you and valued it immensely on my path.

May you be happy and healthy in your next steps.

I look forward to when our paths next cross. With much heartfelt gratitude Deborah 😊

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have known you now since 2012 and the start of my MSc. Your teachings have changed my life. Mindfulness is now part of my life in a way it would not have been without your guidance and inspiration. I have also felt privelidged to be taken under your wing as a tutor for the MA and your guidance has been invaluable. More than that, I really enjoyed the chats we'd have in the breakout rooms and the fun we had teaching. Your honesty, integrity and nature are there for all to see. Good luck

James

I'm so grateful to you for all that you have made happen in the Mindfulness Association and made available to us all. I feel very fortunate to have been able to take part in some of those wonderful programs. Mindfulness has made a huge difference to my life, that empowering mix of teachings and practices in search of reality and kindness. I always found that you brought such great clarity to the teachings, you provided a supported environment from which to be more courageous and more open to some practices, as well as a shared humanity and warmth. You will be greatly missed!

Very best wishes to you for your next adventures and lovely to think of you and your wonderful dogs enjoying many happy beach days . XXX

Thank you for all your teachings and for how much you have done for the Mindfulness Association.

I have fond memories of the retreats at Ampleforth with Rob Nairn and yourself. His teachings and your teachings have been wonderfully clear.

It was a shock when I first read you would be leaving but I wish you all the best for the future on the East Coast and new ventures and walks. I hope our paths cross again.

One of the teachings I particularly enjoyed was the body like a mountain, breath like the wind and mind like sky.

I wish you well.

Mark B

Thank You for all you have done for all of us

your dedication to teaching and to the Mindfulness Association, has rippled out so far and wide - you have, I know, transformed the lives and relationships for so many people. Your guidance has transformed my life and therefore the lives of my family for which I am so deeply grateful.

I hope life unfolds for you in ever widening circles of wonder and joy.

Thank you for all of your support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this first year of the MSc. Your feedback has always been so thoughtful, careful, and considered, and I have greatly appreciated the time and attention you have given to helping me develop my understanding and practice.

Your teaching has helped me to deepen my learning in ways that feel both meaningful and sustainable, and your warmth, kindness, and genuine care for students have created a learning environment in which I have felt supported and encouraged.

You have been an integral part of my first year on the programme, and I am very grateful for the wisdom, insight, and steadiness you have brought to the course. Thank you for everything you have contributed to my learning journey.

With sincere gratitude,

Nicola

I feel so blessed that I got to be taught by you. Years ago in South Africa I would often hear your name mentioned. Especially by Rob with huge affection, respect and appreciation. You became a legend and I never thought I would have the honour to meet and be taught by you. We will miss your genuine guidance and authentic spirit. Very excited for your new ventures and I have followed Beachcomber Meditation on Facebook

Lots of love

Kathy Denham

With thanks

Thank you for giving me a chance to accept my ' inner sceptic'. I've learnt how to transform my 'annoyance' with 'human nature ' into acts of kindness, service and love. Above all thank you for teaching me how to embrace solitude. Go well, Heather. With kind wishes Shirley G

May you be happy, well and at peace in all your new adventures. Very brave to have a new start in life. Good for you! Much love, Zoë xxx
