Mindful LeaderReviews of mindfulleader.org

The MBSR course I took with Mindful Leaders was exceptional because it provided a good mix of challenges and encouragement useful to taking on an entirely different perspective, one conducive to being fully aware and embracing life in all its sharp edges, beauty, and mystery.

The course was amazing and incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed my MBSR class. The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. I had a great experience.

I just completed the 5 day silent retreat with Piero Falci as our guide. Having experienced 6+ single day silent retreats and one weekend retreat, I thought I knew what to expect. This experience, however, was transformational. I was one of the few who participated in the retreat for personal reasons and not because I’m seeking to become an instructor. The long period of solitude, silence and guided practice were both challenging and salubrious. The challenges, however, were what I benefitted from the most and where the growth occurred. It was a retreat where you had to prepare your own space to inhabit for the five days so advance prep was key to having a good experience (e.g., having all your food on hand and simple to prepare at meal times or knowing where you can walk for mindful meditation). On the other hand having the foods you like easily accessible and being able to sleep in your own bed at night are a plus. There were opportunities to engage the leader to get support as needed. He was generous with time and advice. The guidance of the leader enabled each participant to have their own unique experience. We were provided with inspirational literature and poems to support our 5 day journey. Furthermore, he set us up, starting from before the retreat started, so that we would anticipate the possible experiences we might have over the five days. I would rate the 5 day retreat and also the guide separately even if I’m give both a 5 out of 5 stars. I left the 5 day retreat feeling inspired and looking forward to the next one.

Piero is a great facilitator with a lot of great knowledge to share!

Peiro Falci hosted a kind, loving, safe space to practice mindfulness for 5 days in silence. He gave gentle, short guidance leaving room for you to explore this idea at your capacity. I appreciate how he set up the retreat by laying a foundation and reminding everyone to use our beginners mind. Then each day he reviewed a couple of the pillars of mindfulness, reminding us to 'trust in the universe.' The best part of the silent retreat for me was not being away from the hustle of everyday, it was providing myself a quiet place to 'look deeply,' and 'see clearly.' If you are worried about doing an online retreat, I recommend Peiro because the atmosphere was "one where you will get out what you put in." TY

I came in to the course stressed and overwhelmed. I left the course with peace and joy.
