About The Facilitators
Our motivation in teaching mindfulness is to create spaces where people feel safe and valued and where they can explore and experience the benefits of mindfulness practices in a relaxed and comfortable setting. We believe mindfulness should be accessible to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
