Overall, I felt the class was informative and supportive. The instructor (Bill McCracken) was very knowledgeable with a lot of experience. I now have a regular meditation practice and I am noticing positive changes in my daily life. A few suggestions for improvement: - More accountability for the homework. It would have been helpful if we made a plan on the first class on when we planned on doing the 40 minutes of mindfulness a day and how we were going to fit it in to our lives. Maybe a log where we kept track of when we completed the meditation? For me, that would have given me more motivation to do the homework with fidelity. - Zoom is an awkward format for sharing personal experiences and emotions. Most of our class was whole group zoom and I felt uncomfortable sharing with the large group. I would have preferred more breakout sessions.

I enjoyed the cohort interaction as part of this experience, and Bill was a very knowledgeable instructor. I appreciated his follow up questions and conversation starters. The silent retreat stands out as one of my favorite moments in the course. I've been using more practices throughout the day because of this Mindful Leader course.

When I first registered to attend this retreat, I wasn't sure what a 7 hours plus online zoom retreat would feel like, I thought it would have been rather boring. Was I wrong? Yes I was, the retreat was very interesting, 7 hours went by so fast and every minute of it was worthwhile. Gus kept us all engaged in the activities which was all so very relaxing and mind free. I will definitely recomend this retreat to everyone.

I loved this class. I was able to do a lot of inner work, while also connecting to like-minded people and being part of a community. I learned so much, and I highly recommend Peter as an instructor. I will be using lessons from this course in my personal and professional life.

It was a lovely course. The teacher was very compassionate and very honest and I connected immediately. The retreat was so wonderful and I felt very supprted.

This mindfulness class was such an enlightening experience. I’ve noticed such a change in my habitual thoughts, gratitude, and appreciation for the little things in life. It truly changed my life and has me smiling more than not on a daily basis. I’m so grateful for our guide Peter, who is so caring and full of so much wisdom.

My MBSR course was amazing. The teacher is very knowledgeable, grounding, and has a great sense of humor. I gained many skills to help me practice mindfulness on a daily basis, and I can see how having a regular practice has helped me.

Overall a great experience. Third MBSR training I took. First with Mindful Leader. Previous trainings were with US Dept of Agriculture. This latest course was a refresher. Seemed to do better in this latest venue.
