I appreciated being taught and guided to meditate and regular question and answer sessions. It has helped to make me happier, more focused and calm. I feel it would help others too." – Chris, Administrator"The course assisted me to return to my happy, authentic self through the practice of meditation and noticing my thoughts with friendly non-judgmental curiosity." – Michelle, Police Academy Facilitator "The focus on practice and the absence of any cultural or foreign rituals or language was refreshing and made meditation and the philosophy of mindfulness accessible. … I've found a space between noticing and reacting that allows me to choose to let go of habitual responses." – Kelcey, Musician"I enjoyed the experience. It was well organized and a great introduction and reminder to practice. I feel more hopeful and calmer in the face of turmoil." – Peter, Investigator
