The meditations we learned have been of great benefit to me personally. The homework activities were purposeful and will help me in preparing proposals for schools. I loved the videos; watching Sarah and the other teachers was so helpful. I also liked listening to my classmates give their thoughts & ask questions. I am pleased that Sarah answered all my emails and offers meditation teaching “technical support” for life to her students. -Dianne from Australia
I truly enjoyed the classes and am so glad that I have the book to read over and over. Our preschool pilot program Little Ripples will implement many of the techniques I learned. We know the meditations will help children participating in our program at Darfuri refugee camps in Africa. -Rachel from California
