Here is what Certified Facilitators have to say about our training. 

My daughter Madison has been medication free since I began practicing meditation with her. Prior to that we were treating her every month! She talks about feeling that her mind is more powerful than her body and that she can tell it to do whatever she wishes. Meditation is part of our morning routine. Sometimes it lasts 5 minutes and sometimes 30, but no matter what it looks like, it is benefiting all of us by centering us and allowing us all the space to set our intention for the kind of day that we want. I want to thank you again and again for gifting us with meditation!

The Child Meditation Facilitator Training combined a comprehensive overview with extensive experiential learning opportunities to bring together a wonderful understanding of the practice of meditation with children. Upon completion of the training, I felt confident and competent enough to apply this learning experience in my own practice with children. Every aspect of the training experience was worthwhile, informative, and personally rewarding. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone working with the intent to make profound, positive shifts in the lives of children.

The Child Meditation Facilitator course opens doors to creative simplicity that touch the hearts of adults and children alike. I recommend this class to all who want to provide children with tools of empowerment they can use throughout their life.

This workshop is a double blessing; it is a workshop to become a Certified Child Meditation Facilitator, as well as a gentle healing weekend retreat. Not only did Sarah provide me with tools with which I can provide my own classes and workshops, she also created a safe environment in which I was able to heal and clear the fears that had been preventing me from moving forward. I am now ready to take my place as a teacher and a healer.

I loved the class. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, not only about teaching the children, but I also gained some great personal insight. The group was very dynamic with like minds sharing support and wisdom.
