MNDFL Training Reviews & Testimonials

"Grateful to be on this journey with you! Looking forward to tonight's session! ❤️🙏🏼"

"Yes!!! I felt so much relief and excitement watching and listening to you both. Vibing with everything and am so grateful I am here for this journey. 3.0 awaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!"

"Amazing! Understanding the difference or sameness of mindfulness (concentration practice resting in awareness), awareness (releasing focus attention to what is) and presence ( "the bridge" to both) yet they are not separate, is really helpful. I see how I have use and think about it interchangeable."

"thank you for inviting us to be mindful as we embark upon this journey... the training has already begun..."

"Grateful for what we have been offered, and looking forward to all that is to come with this special group."

"A wonderful video! Thanks, Jylani & Caverly for the gentle, playful, and practical approach :)"

"Thank you for this! Love this from Jylani Maat around 29:00: "Blazing a trail for yourself"..."In the stillness, in the silence and EVEN in the loudness and in the movement. The awareness is there. And your practice is deciding when and how you are going to tap into it." <3"

"I love rev's final call to centering our practice in a way that 'brings it to all places where you live, love, learn." In my experience, the world has conditioned me to keep such practice on the periphery of life...as an 'add-on' and not really part of the flow. I've found more comfort and freedom in setting the intention to pulling the practice to the ce..." Read more

"I found the presentations on benefits to be very heartfelt and powerful. Especially Joshua Bee Alafia's testament of stories from his life, and Jylani's entire presence. She is so embodied! Wonderful demonstrations of the fruits of the practice."

"Thank you Joshua, personal stories are always my favorite part of learning something new—it helps me to retain new information. Keep up the good work!"

"I'm beyond exciting about this whole experience. The ways in which the content is flowing is really elevating my curiosity AND my ability to frame and re-frame the content."

"I really enjoyed this whole module. The structure. The content. The birds chirping alongside Jalani. I really like this new framework of experiencing MAP. Thank you."

"SO excited to hear from Dr. Sara' King, whom I heard on Rev's podcast series, Mindful by Design. Dr. King is so powerful!"

"Really great overview. Concise and to the point, leaving me super excited to see what comes next."

"Really inspired by Dr. Sara King's work. When she talked about sending her healing to past and future generations, it made me think of the four immesurable practices. I will start including past and future generations in this practice. I also love the way she describes how she shows up with love in social justice conversations. It is making me think and ques..."

"Feeling such a relief in my body from the spaciousness that Jylani Maat gave in her words and with her presence; felt she was not just telling about mindfulness, she was showing it and being it! Also deeply appreciated the "what mindfulness is not" from Caverly and that she spoke to the myths and pitfalls of practice if we allow ego to mediate, as this is wh..." Read more

"This is so helpful to understanding aspects of mindfulness and loving the flow. I go into my body, sensing, slowing down, feeling, smiling, resting, and then go into my mind thinking, grappling, imagining, constructing. Hmmmm....I think y'all have put some thought into this 😆"

"Dr. Sara King is on fire! I love how she so seamlessly integrates neuroscience, the study of trauma, with kindness, compassion, and the healing of 7 generations behind us and before us. Her talk is a treasure chest of gems. Deep appreciation for Caverly's talk about use of language to meet people right where they are with teachings of mindfulness. Truly the..." Read more

"I love love love Joshua's exhortation to be "alert in the spine," I'm definitely going to take that with me forever.Dr. Saron's segment just felt so full of deeply resonant ideas. It was joyful to listen to some real time science-evidence affirmation of wisdom-evidence regarding the conditions of a retreat beyond formal meditation practice. The explicit desc..." Read more

"Wow, Im blown away with Dr. Sara King.. Making that container for oneself in order to hold the complexity, and Trauma and Wellbeing, coexisting,, not a yin/yang symbol... So much a vision I am having, foggy right now, but a felt sense of yearning to understanding what she is talking about in my own practice... Thank You!! Will be revisiting this multiple tim..."

"It took me awhile to relax into the approach used in these modules which seemed initially to be long videos and lots of talking but by the end I liked that I heard different voices and explanations and so the essence of the module seem clearer than if it had been only one voice."

"I was so excited I transcribed this part... “We have the capacity, given our contemplative practices, if we are very deliberate in how we critically language ourselves and create spaces of safety, intimacy, and vulnerability to explore the ways in which intergenerational trauma rises for ALL OF US inside of our bodies. We have the capacity to empower ours..." Read more

"I love this idea of science together with wisdom as legitimate ways of knowing and as sources of evidence, while questioning scientific objectivity. I confess I was wary of the science part because I have spent my academic life questioning scientific objectivity and all of the harm it has done because of the ways it has founded and perpetrated inequalities -..."

"Dr. Sará King's teaching here will be something I revisit often. Additionally, joshua bee alafia’s meditations are a beautiful anchor. I have been reading and practicing Resmaa's work for many months and this feels like a beautiful distillation plus the added depth of neuroscience is a wonderful extra! I created a bit of process art/mind map of the wisdom sh..." Read more

"I love this. It helps me to be/see the same thing for myself. Instead of striving for some kind of goal, What is here now is already liberation, and it will and will not always be so."
