Find a Mentor
The role of a Western Mindfulness Mentor is to share with their clients, their knowledge and experience on awareness and mindfulness and how, when they are applied to their life, they will start to experience inner-peace and stillness more consistently. Pathways to Mindfulness is the systemised process that Western Mindfulness Mentors use to facilitate this.
It is important to note that mentoring is not coaching, and it is not counselling. Although our process often results in substantial change in each clients life, it is not achieved through using willpower or discipline to enforce the change, such as in coaching. And although our process often results in each client shifting behaviours and becoming aware of the root cause of their suffering, we do not examine and analyse specific issues in detail, such as in counselling.

Choosing a Mentor to Work With
The idea of ‘selecting’ a mentor is that you can choose someone with whom you feel you would be compatible. To help guide you, each mentor has provided a summary of their usual client demographic, but are by no means limited to these demographics. Western Mindfulness Mentoring is an intimate experience, so connecting with someone you feel comfortable with is important.
​
Finding the right Western Mindfulness Mentor does not have to be limited by location. With the ease of being able to communicate by phone and internet technology, your preferred Western Mindfulness Mentor can be almost anywhere in the world. However, the advantage of choosing a local mentor is that you can arrange face-to-face mentoring sessions. Some people prefer this approach when working closely with someone like a mentor.
