Some of the organizations we’ve worked with include…

“The course covered a lot of material and having been my first experience with this practice, I feel it was very comprehensive and complete.”

“The instructor was great, the dialogue between class members was enlightening, and practicing together was fantastic.”

“I think this can help overall with the way I interact with everyone in my life. It has definitely helped me with my own responses to other people and reflecting on my feelings and being more forgiving of myself.”
