“Although I'm in many ways a solitary person, before now, I'd never lived entirely alone for any extended period. I was truly worried about how I'd manage. This class has been a godsend for me, giving me very simple and satisfying ways of anchoring myself and moving into my solitary way of life and into older age. I've felt far more serene than I'd expected.”

 

“I've spent quite a number of years with analysts. For really grappling with ancient demons, that kind of deep work is valuable. But I am very happy to have come to the conscious, deliberate practices in the Pathways class.”

 

 

“I've found the structure and format of the class very helpful. I have been
developing some online workshops and forums myself, so I've been particularly
conscious of some of the strategies you use -- like the clarity of your
instructions and the commitment and acountability questions at the start of
calls and "gems" at the end. In fact, I've passed on some of these ideas to
colleagues, who've been very interested. The question about monotasking seemed
to provoke a... well, a shock of recognition!

 

“WOW! This course has meant so much to me. Robin and Nancy have done such a great job, I just can’t say enough.  Thank-you.  It was one of the best emotional/spiritual growth  experiences I've ever had.”

 

“When I started I was feeling a bit lethargic and under-productive. I felt guilty for any time I spent “savoring.” I always thought I was a failure at meditation. Your way of  presenting mindfulness has helped me immeasurably in both these areas. My goals are clearer and closer at hand, and I know both how I contribute best and where to go from here.”

 

“I'm also more aware of little momentary pleasures and blessings, and a little better at keeping myself from going into self-critical tailspins.  What I enjoyed the most was the experience of being in such a supportive mini-community (for which you so ably set the tone).  I especially admire /appreciate / marvel at your ability to respond so lovingly and insightfully to people of such diverse needs and temperaments, and the open and positive way you received all of my questions and comments.”

 

“I am definitely happier now.  Many mornings I wake up smiling.  I can't say how the course did it, though.  The two most likely causes are: the increase in time Inow spend meditating (yoga nidra) and the time I spend practicing the feeling of being loved.” 

 

I feel happier in general and am very glad I took the class.

 

I got exactly what I needed from this course.  I experience more joy and gratitude, and that was my hope.

“My Mindfulness practice really zoomed during this stressful, engaging time. I decided a couple of weeks ago that since it was likely to be stressful, I would do my Yoga Nidra every day. Sure enough, I was the calmest playwright on the block! Other writers asked me how I could stay so calm! When I found myself restless even during my practice, I could tell that the world out there must be getting really intense. I also tried to add in every little moment of Ancestral Mind time--enjoying the outdoors. Sometimes it was only taking in a mindful breath, sometimes opening a window to enjoy the sunshine and the birds. Every little bit helped. Even when I thought I'd lost my star actor, I was able to be grateful for the opportunity to become even more flexible and to develop a Plan B!”
