"Jackie's section in the antidote for forgetting the instructions - where she mentions that part of the simple instructions is to begin again. and again. and again. It had hold a deeper appreciate the times when I veer off or stop or get distracted or get pulled. This is because I can't very well begin again, if I've never been knocked off course. So the bein..." Read more

"I adore Joshua Bee's extremely thoughtful yet casual, conversational communication style. I found myself breaking into giggles out loud when he would laugh at his own examples. Everyone's styles are wonderful and the variety of people, stories even voices is very friendly & engaging."

"What an incredible session on the neuroscience of mindfulness. I so appreciate the level of detail, and the specific focus on methodology and lack of representation in studies. Thank you Helen for pioneering and prioritizing this intersectional approach and trusting us with this level of detail."

"So Moved by all these sessions. Particularly Dr. King’s. So much wisdom, truth and an urging woven throughout-relationship between trauma and well being, being “lovingly disruptive”, science of social justice- so much to learn and re-learn. Thank you Dr. King!"

""If you have a body, you deserve well-being" - Dr. King So much insight paused, took notes and replayed. I will continuously show up with compassion, attitude of unconditional friendliness, and mindfulness. Thank you Dr. King!"

"Such a rich session! The beginning meditation got me in touch with my departed loved-ones by way of my late partner who passed from lung failure. Then Caverly connecting the dots between traditional and modern iterations of mindfulness and then Dr. Sará King!!! I'm so excited about her work!! I first got interested in brain research and social justice throug..." Read more

"This session lit me up! I have felt - and in the 20 years I've been teaching I have contributed to - the dissonance between the way dominant culture teaches/commodifies/creates spiritual bypass out of mindfulness and other practices that are supposed to be for wellbeing, but either tiptoes around or outright refuses to make the connection to the potential -..."

"Science has never been a field in which I feel like I "belong," in the sense that I retain the sense of wonder about so many things that science can help to illuminate, but I retain it in more of a sensate than facts and details way. Dr. Weng shared soooo much that I found absolutely fascinating, and so much about which I'd love to learn more. It definitely..." Read more

"I mentioned in the previous comments that I find science - neuroscience in particular absolutely fascinating - and it isn't a language that I easily retain. I listen or read and think, that's amazing, but I can't relay the details - at least not yet. I was not familiar with the work of Dr. Saron, nor the content of his session. One of the last things he said..." Read more

""Oh my dear, you haven't been practicing mindfulness. You've been practicing impatience, judgement, frustration and striving." For years I have taught that where our attention goes, our energy follows, and yet this story that Jackie shared made me actually stop, pause the video and just sit with that statement and a wave of realization about the things I've..."

"I appreciate how Dr. Sará King mentioned "positivity bias" when introducing mindfulness to black and brown students. It was a grounding note because one can get excited to bring mindfulness to other communities based on the personal transformative experience one had with mindfulness (which is great!). I thank her for explicitly naming what black and brown fo..." Read more

"I appreciate Joshua's story. I appreciate you interpretation of your interaction with police officers, and I also see officers and systems that look for and benefit from actually looking for people to arrest and detain as opposed to just doing their jobs. Your description of mindfulness and strength in the face of the possibility of brutality, incarceration,..." Read more

"I really appreciated when Neil mentioned that he still finds tension along his spine when he sits! I do too. While watching this session, I found I kept wishing the shot view allowed the presenters to show more what they were describing. I appreciated what each person offered."

"I really appreciated when Carlos said, It's not working if you aren't being honest with yourself. That's the only time it's not working. I also appreciated the repetition of encouragement/give permission to/model for participants doing what they/you need to do to take care of themself/yourself - even/especially if you are facilitating. In my experience that..." Read more

"MNDFL has changed my life, in the best of ways. Before I started coming to classes and joined this awesome community, my meditation practice was inconsistent, and in need of some guidance. The day I decided to try MNDFL, I knew I was going to learn so much and my practice was going to flourish. AND IT HAS. Going to MNDFL has been one of the best decisions I..." Read more

"Meditation, the studio, your staff and of course the MNDFL community have unexpectedly become a cornerstone of my life for the past 5 years. I would never have imagined for one minute that accidentally walking in when you first opened would become so important to me, would help me start off on this path of learning, and would offer a sense of community that..."

"I have often travelled alone around the world and yet there was something so overwhelming about NYC. As it turned out, the MNDFL Greenwich Village space was around the corner where I was staying and I finally got up the courage, signed up for a class and came in. It was magic. The space was so thoughtful and well considered. The MNDFL staff were absolutely w..." Read more

"I recommend MNDFL to everyone and anyone and it will always be a place that really gave me peace and solace during a very difficult time.... It allowed me, and sometimes forced me, to sit with thoughts and feelings I didn't think I could. I am so grateful to this community and will continue to support you and recommend you and sit with you in any way I can."
