Thank you so very much for the opportunity to take this course. I found it to be very helpful in setting a new routine and I have seen many benefits in my life. I feel more calm and in tune with my emotions. I highly recommend taking this course to anyone wanting to begin a daily mindfulness practice.

I respect both these teachers immensely, and I highly recommend this as a beginner or refresher for mindfulness meditation. In my case, I have been away from the practice for a long time, and this has been really helpful in bringing me back.

Fabulous! This was far from my first experience with meditation and mindfulness, but it was clearly the best. Thank you, Jack and Tara, for a very thoughtful and extremely very well organized journey. Thank you for your encouragement, your wisdom, your humor. Thank you for centering mindfulness in the larger contexts of our lives. The world is surely a better place because of you.

Thank you, important to stay with ourselves, being able to taök things out, rather only act them out. This gap between impulse and reacrion can be filled with mindfulness. 🙏

I’ve been doing mindfulness meditation for several years, but it was great to return to a beginner’s course!
