"You have showed me how to fully open my heart and love the people around me and embrace my full potential and live for what I believe in. You have made me realize that true empathy is possible and that life can be full and beautiful. You make it seem so much more possible to survive your pain."- Rosa (Mindfulness retreat student)
"I don’t have a lot of positive male role models in my life and I can’t say thank you enough times for your sensitivity and honesty." - S. L. (Dharma mentee since 2011)

"When I first came to teen retreat, I was 15, and absolutely terrified of myself, and of the world. And I’m still terrified, but I feel like I can handle it now. And you are greatly responsible for that. I’m on my way to being Big, and owning my anger and not apologizing for who I am and I have you and your love to thank for that."
