Very good but I found I didn't have enough time to fulfill all the items, much as I intended to do. I'm hoping to continue with at least 2 of the items every day, that we have been taught and practiced. I found Catherine's calming speech was excellent to follow and so very helpful. A very good teacher.Response : Thank you for your feedback Bridget. It is a shame you did not have time to participate fully in the course, as this does make a difference to how much one can get out of it. But it is great to hear you are planning to practise some of the meditations each day.

Catherine is superb - she is totally down to earth and realistic about the challenges that mindful mediation brings. She is extremely inclusive, patient and I found her choice of poems on the retreat day very moving and inspiringResponse : Thank you Kate for your feedback. I am glad you found the course useful. Let me know if you'd like any of the retreat day poems that are not in the pack I sent after the course.

on line teaching went well; some disadvantages compared to face-to-face but overall on line experience was much better my personal experience/benefit was affected by my busy work schedule Mon-Fri and so the retreat day on a Saturday was more effective

Particularly good with making me feel at ease right from the start no pressure to have to participate all very much on Your own terms. Extremely beneficial and would highly recommend the course and teacher. Has given me a much stronger and calmer more peaceful position within my own life experiences. And lots of tools and techniques with dealing with stressful situations.

I find mindfullness sessions with Catherine very helpful. They keep me calm and focussed on the important things in life. Indeed, the MBSR course I did last year changed my way of thinking and reacting. I became less judgemental of myself and others. I highly recommend Catherine's courses.Response : Thanks for your thoughtful response and I am glad you are finding the current online sessions helpful, as well as the MBSR last year. It is great to have you in the group.
