Really opened up my world to who’s out there and the different approaches to practice.”  \n“I didn’t want it to end! It was so grounding and supportive for me and helped me quiet the chaos around us.” \n“It gave me an appreciation of different meditation styles and allowed me to consider my own practice differently. It also held me accountable\, since there was an email every day with a new session.” \n“Diversity\, diversity\, diversity. The range of teachers\, styles and ways of being with the mind\, body\, breath and all aspects of this dynamic human experience.”  \n“It’s been so helpful during an especially hard month. I feel it’s deepened my practice and I’ve gotten a lot of insight out of a few of the guests in particular. Now my friend and I will continue to meet at 6:00am even without the structure of this program which seems like a great outcome.”  \n“I looked forward to a new meditation every morning. I found it both exciting and enriching to learn about all the different ways in which we can practice meditation. I took notes of what resonated most with me and I am still learning so much.” \n“My favorite aspect was the ability to learn and be in practice with different teachers. The live events were very much appreciated.”  \n“I enjoyed the whole concept and I really appreciated that  the offerings were all 20 minutes long—it made it sustainable at a certain time of day for me.” \n“I loved learning that there are many ways to connect to sangha online.”  \n“I enjoyed the surprise of not knowing the next guest or what they were going to bring.”  \n“This is an amazing program and the fact that I can revisit the meditations that were most meaningful to me is a plus.”
