That was really a great course, forgiving myself and hopefully others one day, are big lessons I hope to keep moving forward with.

What if I had practiced this with my children when I was a young mother? I will practice it now and share this with my daughter.

I’ve done this course twice now & will probably revisit it every so often to help re-open my heart to others & to myself. I found the short talks + brief meditation format ideal. Thank you, Tara.
