I really did not know what to expect when I signed up for the sessions. I have never meditated in my life and had some preconceived ideas of what the sessions could be. All I knew is that is would be long (8 sessions), have homework and be outside of my comfort zone. The sessions had a huge impact on me, how I react to events, myself and others around me. It provided lots of food for thoughts mixed with very tangible tools to use to avoid falling back into depressive and/or anxious modes.

     Julie was a tremendous facilitator ensuring everyone felt comfortable, understood the material and topics and ensuring the conversations remained non specific to each others personal situations. This was time absolutely well invested. I have been putting into practice the techniques we learned and feel much more prepared on days where anxiety/depression comes knocking on my door. Life is far from perfect but I now have more tools to face difficult days. I recommend the program to everyone!
