Student comments
“The class was wonderful and I am still practicing techniques, meditations, and skills from the course.”
Physician, New York City
“While having self-compassion was foreign to me initially, it became a useful tool to remain in balance. Instead of my emotions being all consuming, I found I could express them and at the same time, not be consumed by them.”
Healthcare Administrator, New York City
