About Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness

Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness is a Scottish Charity, SC051472, regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). We teach secular mindfulness to the community of the Scottish Borders.

Peer 2 Peer Mindfulness was set up to allow you, regardless of whether you have practised mindfulness before or not, to experience mindfulness in a shared learning environment as a potential benefit to your well-being.

From our base in Kelso, our tutors deliver mindfulness courses and mindfulness based activities in 1-2-1 or group settings to schools, workplaces, care homes, and the wider general public around the Scottish Borders.

As part of our commitment to the local community we offer a number of free courses throughout the year to the general public ensuring that financial ability is not a obstacle to anyone receiving the benefits of mindfulness.
