Reviews
"Brilliant course. Really accessible and well taught. It was interesting and Chris's delivery was really engaging. I would definitely recommend this course, even just to learn more about meditation for personal practice. I've already started using some of the techniques myself!" Rachel McDove
"Extremely mind-opening course! I initially thought meditation was one thing and I am so happy to have learnt that there are so many different types of meditations! I loved the scientific approach to the course and I loved the fact that Chris Worfolk has a psychology background! I can already see this course taking me forward in my practice and my future life vision!" Aurore Gebert
"Well prepared and informative course. I am happy with the contents and I already have started to use them during my meditation sessions. Thank you Chris and I will be joining in your other courses as well." Seçkin Akıncı
