Quotes From our Community:
“The different types of meditation practices excite me, as I’ve practiced lots of them here and there but haven’t experienced training that teaches them systematically. The portion on bringing the learning back to the communities also energizes me, so participants could bring the impact beyond this like-minded cohort and initiate change outside.”
“It felt more holistic than a regular sitting. I don’t usually use music for meditation, but this experience made me want to try more in the future.”
