I had previously taken an MBSR course at an entirely different location, unaffiliated with the Centre for Mindfulness Studies, and I had a pretty awful experience but family and friends were encouraging me to try it once again. I'm so glad I did. I can honestly say I have never felt more welcome than in the class I took at the Centre. Angie and Laura Lee were our teachers and they were absolutely outstanding - just so warm, welcoming and accepting. I felt a solid sense of community among my classmates. I love the way mindfulness was taught from an intellectual rather than a spiritual or religious perspective. Despite not doing much in the way of formal practice at home, I went from absolutely hating mindfulness to developing a very healthy respect for the techniques involved and I continue to draw on what I've learned every single day.
