The meditation practice is very freeing. I can just be where I am in the moment. In contrast to so many practices I’ve tried, it encompasses how to deal with emotions with a greater awareness of the human condition.

Mindworks has made a big difference in my life!

I have known for many years that the persona I present is not truly aligned with the real me, which I sense but do not really know. I believe that this journey will help me to discover and embrace the real me, and give me the confidence to express it.

Joy – Program Assistant

My morning ‘hits’ of 10 minutes of meditation practice, along with the short talks, have made it easier for me to manage during this crazy time! I’m hooked!
