"I had began my own meditation practice and was looking for someone that could help me to build on it further and help to answer some questions to pull things together for me. This course came at an excellent time and helped me to do exactly that. Simon’s approach and knowledge is great. I’d recommend the course to anyone that’s just starting out or like me has been practicing but is looking at taking it further"
