Gary and Sheila have a solid knowledge of theory and practise. They are patient and practical teachers. Gary and Sheila have a strong ability to teach a group of students who come with a range of backgrounds, knowledge and goals; and they are able to cultivate a sense of belonging within the group.""I have experienced a lot of heaviness in life, (anxiety, depression, small trauma etc.) and have lived in a constant state of fight or flight for many years. Mindfulness has brought space from that. A way to calm my nervous system and give my mind a break. I took away so much from this course.""I have gained a solid foundation for meditation and collected a number of tools that I use on a daily basis to create spaciousness, connect with my breath and accept change. The teachers were very insightful and well informed."
