Hi This course has been most helpful to me in many ways. You have introduced many topics that I did not think of as I meditated. Dealing with anger, how to cope with daily living, as well as kindness and compassion always in the forefront as we meditate. I liked the length of each session and opportunity to ask questions at the end. Changing male and female voices each day was helpful also. I would welcome other courses that both of you might create but shorter in duration, maybe 10 days in length. Thanks for your inspiration, devotion to your sharing it with us. You both have much to offer others on this journey of life. I feel blessed for learning from you both. Continued blessings on you family,friends, and all those you have touched with your sharing throughout your lifetime. Bette Wismann

I am grateful to Jack and Tara for putting together such a powerful and attainable practice of mindfulness. Though I’ve been a practitioner for a while, this course has helped me improve the fundamental skills and provide a platform for further gains. I marvel at what a different world this might be if we all took a few moments each day in this practice. I am so very grateful to Tara and Jack for all their time, effort and love. 😀
