It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with like minded, positive and kind people and because of that, my life feels more abundant!” – Darshika

I have learned so much, about meditation and about myself, and have made lasting beautiful connections throughout I made throughout the process. I am so grateful for this experience and I highly recommend taking this course!” – Lara

“I feel so lucky to have caught this session as it truly went above and beyond what I had in mind.  The material was on point and very thorough – it really provided the background knowledge needed to feel confident in my meditation delivery.  The instructor, Nanda, is an amazing resource and her presence is so beautiful and calming. She really provides a safe space to allow yourself to open and experiment with your practice….I can’t end this testimonial without adding how wonderful the group was. There is something special about having a group of like-minded open individuals that come together and learn about something they love. There was connection and camaraderie, even more so during such a trying time.  It was a truly a blessed experience!” – Lesley 

“Nanda is a beautiful source of knowledge and a selfless giver. For it is only by going inward can we truly learn and know how to live outward… I have never participated in a more fulfilling training.  Whether you do the program for professional reasons, or for your own journey, you will learn and discover things you did not anticipate and will come out the other end being grateful that you listened to the whisper and embraced the opportunity” – Noella
