My experience was awesome thanks to the authenticity of my teacher, Punita.

amazing center, gone some lessons and my mental health got well in several months, you mentors are really cool

I found the experience to be very helpful in guiding me to be able to use inner resources to calm the needless anxieties that can plague me. I learned to be able to sit for 45 minutes to meditate on my own, something I had not been able to do previously. I feel I got out of the training what I put into it and know this will be true going forward.

Thank you, Mindful Leader, for hosting an amazing retreat with a phenomenal instructor! Our instructor, Karen Jones was wise, kind, caring, patient, and created an atmosphere that felt safe and supportive. The day was well organized offering varied practices that flowed nicely. I enjoyed how poetry was incorporated into the meditative practice and thought it was well done. At the end of the retreat there was time allowed for both reflection and sharing. Karen then provided gentle suggestions to help ease our transition from silent retreat to regular life. It was both a challenging day with respect to what was arising within and an incredible day. It served my body and soul well. Thank You!!

This was a great experience for me. At first I didn’t think it would benefit me as much as it did but I’m happy I took this course. Bill was a great instructor!

I found that the length of each session was important and valuable for learning, practice and performance. I like the way each session built from the previous session's focus and laid further groundwork for the up-coming session; helping to grow practice and understanding. The peer breakout groups were enjoyable as each of us was given time to ear about others' experiences and impressions and reflect our own to others. Peter was a wonderful guide, patient, affirming, and instructive without judgement.

If you're hesitant, just go for it. Treat it as an experiment and keep an open mind. The practice is simple, but not easy, as Scott says. But it's worth it, and the proof is in the pudding :)

I learned so much from the group and from Siobhan. It was wonderful to be in community with others aspiring to be more fully present in the world.
