This course laid the groundwork for me stepping into my existence and moving forward with my life.

Siobhan Gibbons was a pleasure to have as a retreat teacher. She was well-organized, calm and kind. Her demeanor was gentle and caring, and the way she structured the retreat was just right, whether you came to it as a newer meditator or someone with some experience with silent retreat. The day passed with a flowing and easy rhythm. I would definitely do this retreat again and would highly recommend it to anyone who has been thinking of dipping their toes into the silent retreat experience.

The teacher and the fellow students. The content of the course, and how easy is to understand.

Karen Brown was fantastic. So patient, calming, a great communicator and clearly she is passionate about teaching MBSR. It was such a nice experience being in her class. I would recommend her to everyone!

Everything about the day was wonderful, gentle and rendered insight and self-awareness in the stillness and solitude of the day. Piero gave very good preparation instructions to make the day flow smoothly and guided us through a day that provided both structure, and flexibility. It felt valuable, powerful, and purposeful.

The instructor was very professional and a skilled facilitator. His medical background was a plus. And he was also just a very nice person. Everyone in the class participated as a team member, sharing enough personal experiences to be relatable. The breakout rooms were especially helpful. The class inspired me to seek out more of the MBSR readings and audios, and I hope to participate in future activities.

Karen is an excellent teacher. Not related to the teacher, i have a comment about the system. For people like me that have had extensive meditation practice, the class was basic until the final couple weeks. It challenged me in maintaining a beginners mind which was good for me. I wonder if ML could offer some abbreviated or "next level" MBSR class to get the first certification? I believe there were 3-4 of us in this class of 22 that had 10+ years of meditation experience.

Gus was thoughtful, patient and respectful. I enjoyed his guidance.
