Mindfulness for Christians

Father Mark Smith BA (SA) Psych, Dip Th (St Paul’s)

I am an Anglican priest, qualified mindfulness & compassion therapist, teacher and long term meditator and mentor. I offer Mindfulness Therapy, both in person and via Skype as well as Christian Mindfulness retreats for groups. I have devoted the last 30 years of my life to teaching and counselling in local communities and schools both in Africa

and in the UK. Much of my experience has been with young people and in relationship counselling. I am a Franciscan with a great love for animals and I run a small sensory mini-farm in the heart of Taunton in Somerset, England. I believe, and scientific research is showing that mindfulness and compassion can transform our experience of life immeasurably and can also empower us to change our relationships with others and with nature.
