Why it works

This isn't another app to practise alone

If you already know how to meditate and you keep stopping, this is what it solves. Not more technique. A time, and people who notice.

It's a real community that meets each morning. Knowing others are sitting with you keeps you company and keeps you turning up, in a way a timer on a screen never quite manages. You don't have to be disciplined. You just have to show up, and let the rhythm carry you.

Wherever you are

Live at 7:30 UK, and there when you can't be

The live sit is at 7:30am UK, and that's the heart of it. Come when you can.

When you can't, the day's meditation is waiting in your app. A lunch break in New York, an evening in Sydney, a quiet five minutes in between. Members join from all over the world and make it work.

No commute, no studio, no camera. Just somewhere to be at the same time each morning, and a recording for the mornings you miss.

"Even from remote Australia I've been able to establish a daily practice through the Daily Mindfulness Club. Usually I join live & enjoy the energy of having others sitting with me. But even if I can't join live, there are recordings of the sits that I use to maintain a daily practice."Ross, member in Australia

The approach

Rooted in ACT, the science of a freer mind

Most meditation apps stop at "relax". The Club goes further. It's built around Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), a gentle, evidence-based approach to three things: being present, opening up to whatever you're feeling, and doing what truly matters to you.

Practised over time, it builds what researchers call psychological flexibility, the approach studied for stress, mood and focus. And it's far from fringe: ACT is used within the NHS and reflected in World Health Organization stress guidance.

Small enough to keep

Begin with a single breath

You don't need willpower, or an hour you don't have. The Club is built on the science of behaviour change: start impossibly small, with just one conscious breath, and let the habit grow from there.

Tiny, repeatable, kind. That's how a practice actually lasts. Every session is carefully produced, with captions, so you can simply press play and arrive.

"Most of us don't need more information about meditation. We need company, and a time to actually do it. That's what the Club is: a daily appointment with your own stillness, kept together."Shamash Alidina

In their words

What's changed for members

"The Daily Mindfulness Club is my safe place. I feel home as soon as I arrive. Thanks to Shamash, and our loving and supportive community of meditators."Kay Buckby

"I now have a range of strategies to apply when challenging situations arise. The analogies used within the sessions clarify my thinking and the breathing exercises help me remain calm."SB, member

"Mindfulness has had a profound effect on my mental health. It has helped me look at life in a different way, to be kinder to myself and less judgemental. I value the morning sit-ins as a way of starting the day with a positive frame of mind."Patricia, member

Your teacher

I'll be in the room with you

I'm Shamash Alidina, author of Mindfulness For Dummies and The Mindful Way Through Stress. I've taught mindfulness and ACT for over twenty years, in workplaces, institutions, even parliaments. These days what I love most is simply sitting with our community each morning. I'll be there with you, every weekday.

More about me

Joining

Simple, fair pricing

£19

a month for your first three months, then £49

Why £19 to start? A practice takes a few weeks to settle, and the hard part is keeping going. So your first three months cost less while you find your rhythm. After that it's £49 a month, and I'll remind you a week before it changes.

7 days free

then £49 a month

At £49 that's around 21 live sits a month, about £2.33 each, when a single drop-in class locally runs £10 to £15.

"Since I started practicing with the DMC, back during the pandemic, my practice has been consistent. This is because I'm practicing at the same time each day with others. It means I don't put it off until sometime later which may not happen."CB, member

Join for £19 a monthStart your free week

Cancel any time in a tap, no long-term commitment. Prefer to pay yearly? £499 a year

Scholarships of 50 to 80% are available if cost is a barrier, just ask.

If what you're really after is a big library of recordings, Calm is excellent and costs less. And if you'd simply like somewhere to meditate with others, Oxford Mindfulness and others run lovely free sessions. The Club is for when you want one teacher who knows you, every morning, and real company while your practice settles.

Questions

Frequently asked

I'm not in the UK. Can I still join?

Absolutely. Members join from all over the world. Come live at 7:30am UK if it suits, or play each day's meditation whenever works for you, in your own time zone.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that okay?

Completely. Most members started exactly there. I guide every session step by step, and you just follow along.

What if I can't make the live session?

Then you play it later, and 200+ past sessions are there too. But the mornings you do make it are the ones that build the habit, so come when you can.

Do I have to be on camera?

Never. Cameras stay off, so come in your pyjamas, with bed hair, and truly relax.

Why are the first three months cheaper?

Because a practice takes a few weeks to settle. Most people who stop, stop early. So I'd rather you had time to find your rhythm before you pay the full £49. I'll email you a week before the price changes, so it's never a surprise.

Can I cancel?

Any time, in a couple of taps from the app. There's no long-term commitment.

What if money's tight?

Mindfulness should be available to everyone. There are scholarships of 50 to 80% off, so just get in touch and ask.
