Our Advisory Group

Our Advisory Group was formed in 2024 and is made up of former participants who have generously chosen to stay involved and help shape the future of The Mindful Life Group. Bringing together a wide range of skills, perspectives, and life experiences, they support us by offering feedback, challenging us, generating ideas, and helping us stay connected to what is important to older adults.

    Marion M

    Marion retired after nearly 40 years in teaching, including 20 years as a Headteacher. She enjoys walking, painting, and gardening. Over the past five years, Marion attended two mindfulness courses with us, which she found to be transformative. As a result, she and a group of fellow participants continue to meet regularly to enjoy the calm and peacefulness of Adele’s practices.
