Dr. Helen Baldwin, Rainbow Mindfulness

Helen has been practicing meditation for 15 years. She is British, has lived in France for 30 years, and is perfectly bilingual in English and French.

She has participated in numerous meditation workshops and retreats, including in Buddhist monasteries in several countries, where she has received teachings from great spiritual masters. At the same time, she is in training to become a qualified teacher of mindfulness meditation, a secular practice open to all.

Helen previously had a successful career as a business leader in the field of medical research. In 2019, she decided to leave it all behind in order to achieve her new life purpose: teaching meditation and turning her home in the South of France into a peaceful haven for meditation retreats.

 In May 2022, Helen opened the Rainbow Mindfulness Meditation Retreat Centre. The centre has a beautiful meditation studio, a zen garden with swimming pool, and modern accommodation for up to 8 people. Helen offers weekly mindfulness sessions, 8-week MBSR courses, mindful days, weekends and longer retreats.
