Walking into that one-day silent

Walking into that one-day silent retreat, I was pretty skeptical. I mean, a whole day of silence? Sounded kinda impossible. But honestly, what happened was unexpected. With Piero Falci leading, it turned into such an eye-opener. The silence wasn’t empty; it was full of revelations. It was like suddenly having room to breathe, to really listen to my own thoughts. I realized how much pressure I put on myself to meet others’ expectations. By the end, I understood that just being me was more than enough. Piero’s calming presence and the retreat’s gentle flow made everything feel approachable. If you're on the fence about sitting in silence all day, I totally get it, but it's so worth trying. Just be there, and let the silence do its thing.

Highly recommend these guys

I took a day off for this retreat and, honestly, it was surprisingly refreshing. I was skeptical at first about spending a whole day just doing nothing. I mean, how does that help with personal growth, right? But it turns out, just letting go and relaxing can be pretty enlightening. Who would've thought that embracing stillness could lead to such deep insights? The retreat was well-guided, and Piero really knows what he's doing. His guidance made the experience smooth and fulfilling. A day later, I'm still feeling the calm and clarity it brought. It's like hitting the reset button for your mind. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mental recharge!

He's really easy to talk to, and his instructions during the meditation sessions were just right—not too fast, not too slow. Each session felt like it had a purpose, and I left each one feeling more centered. I didn’t expect to feel so connected and calm. I'm really grateful for the chance to have been part of this experience. If you're looking for something to help you relax and find some inner peace, this retreat is definitely worth checking out.

I recently participated in a 5-day silent retreat guided by Piero Falci. Despite initial concerns about focus and endurance, Piero's gentle and authentic approach made the experience transformative. Facing discomfort during meditation, I embraced patience and learned valuable lessons. Piero's inspiration led to a profound shift, reinforcing my dedication to MBSR teaching. This retreat not only enriched my practice but also prompted a commitment to future engagements with Piero. I wholeheartedly endorse his guidance for those seeking meaningful mindfulness experiences.

You wouldn't believe how amazing

You wouldn't believe how amazing this class was with Gus at the helm. Everyone there made it super supportive and uplifting. I walked away with so many useful tools that I'll definitely use in my teaching and even on my personal health journey with MS. The vibe was just right, the kind of atmosphere where you feel inspired to push your limits and grow. It felt like more than just a class; it was an experience that touched different parts of my life. Honestly, I’m just so grateful for the chance to have been part of it.

I had Ms. Thaker Punita as my instructor

I had Ms. Thaker Punita as my instructor, and her teaching approach was impressive. She consistently kept the class focused and had a keen sense of when someone was losing track. Despite being a virtual setting, the class felt connected, creating a unique educational and emotional experience. Towards the end, the impact was so profound that it evoked tears - a testament to the transformative nature of the class. Thanks to Ms. Punita, and blessings to her.

Peter Calin and the cohort

Peter Calin and the cohort in the 8-week MBSR course were absolutely amazing. Starting each Sunday with them was truly refreshing! I've discovered that I can find peace in every moment. While I'm not claiming to be a pro, I've definitely experienced more inner peace even when the world around me is chaotic and busy. This practice has been instrumental in helping me navigate grief and allowing me to feel my emotions without getting overwhelmed by them.

The company's leader is

The company's leader is fantastic! His voice is calming and soothing. I appreciate his communication style, which helps me feel truly at ease. Moreover, his insights are quite philosophical, encouraging profound contemplation. I also admire his yoga techniques. It's clear that he's an exceptionally seasoned leader who guides us with genuine sincerity and unwavering confidence, without relying on a script.

In my view, the MBSR mindfulness

In my view, the MBSR mindfulness course by Mindful Leader was really good. It provided lots of techniques that I can use to lessen stress and be more mindful. Karen Jones, the facilitator, was great too. She knew a lot about mindfulness and was patient throughout all 8 classes. Her guidance made it easier for someone like me who's new to mindfulness.

Having utilized the service for nearly two years, my experience has been positive. The platform facilitated the creation of a close-knit community, fostering connections with fellow members. It serves as a reliable accountability tool, encouraging daily engagement, sometimes even twice a day.

My son mistakenly wiped the Batocera

My son mistakenly wiped the Batocera game SD card. The support team worked really hard to get me back to gaming. Best help I've ever had. These folks are great. I’ll be telling everyone about them.

The course leader adeptly guided

This marked my initial experience

This marked my initial experience participating in a Mindful Leader event. Approaching it with an open mind due to uncertainty, I found the event to be a gathering of remarkable speakers and like-minded individuals. Connecting with wonderful people from various corners of the world, I was struck by the kindness and warmth exhibited by everyone. Stepping into any room, an unexpected sense of peace and tranquility enveloped me, providing an unexpectedly gratifying experience. All in all, it turned out to be a truly enriching event.

This company is really nice.

This company is really nice. Everyone involved is fantastic. It's good for me to keep practicing when I need it. One thing they could do is encourage some casual talking between people, like maybe 1-2 minutes for small chat or sharing. That could make connections stronger.

That class was really something.

That class was really something. Tushar and MT, the instructors, were super smart and easy to relate to. The other people in the class were really nice and made learning even better. I wish I could take more classes like this, but you know, money stuff.

The company taught me to pace

The company taught me to pace my thoughts, absorbing others' words and actions with a reflective approach. Mindfulness gained significance through this learning experience.

The company's founder aims to shift

The company's founder aims to shift mindfulness from its Buddhist origins, a move criticized as embodying a colonial rhetoric. This perspective suggests a potential limitation on the intrinsic value and essence of mindfulness, and a stance seemingly contradictory to the principles of diversity and inclusion.

The Mindful Leader Summit was

The Mindful Leader Summit was an absolute blast. The ideas and research shared were thought-provoking, and it was great to dive into some tough topics. Loved meeting new folks and catching up with familiar faces. A big plus was the free 30-minute coaching session with New Ventures; it was super insightful. Switching the in-depth workshops to the beginning and the un-conference to the end was a smart move. I did miss the interstitial movement practices though, they should definitely bring those back. Some speakers had just 30 minutes but easily needed more time, like Elisha Goldstein and Art Kleiner. But I get it, more speakers mean more diverse perspectives. Overall, the event was energizing and clarifying. Great job!

Peter Calin was our guide,

Peter Calin was our guide, and he really made everything feel achievable yet challenging in a good way. I mean, he kept us engaged and on our toes. Big thumbs up to Peter! But honestly, what I enjoyed the most was connecting with other students during breakout sessions. One thing though, sometimes when Peter asked questions, the room would go silent. I think it's not that people didn't have anything to say but maybe they were just being shy. Maybe calling on people directly would make things smoother. Overall, this was an incredible experience, and I learned so much. Thanks for everything!

Attending a retreat with Piero

Attending a retreat with Piero Falci feels like receiving a precious gift. His kind and gentle approach makes everyone feel at home. The exercises he guides us through are perfect for meditation and relaxation, giving a lot of insight. The poetry he shares, whether his own or from other amazing poets, adds a unique touch that I absolutely love. I've joined more than four days of mindfulness retreats with Piero online, and each time, I come away feeling refreshed and more centered. I can't wait to join more of his sessions. Big thanks to Mindful Leader for making this possible.

This conference was something else.

This conference was something else. No rush, no hurry—just people genuinely connecting. Presenters weren't just there to speak and leave; they stayed, they chatted, they collaborated. You could see new ideas forming right there. The vibe was super personal and unhurried, which made it feel more like a community gathering than a formal event. I learned so much, not just from the speakers but also from other attendees. Everyone was sharing what they’re doing in their own communities, and it was inspiring. It felt like being part of something bigger, something really meaningful.

Attending the Mindful Leadership Summit

Attending the Mindful Leadership Summit for the first time was a blast. The speakers were so engaging and the topics they discussed really hit home. It wasn’t just the presentations; the whole vibe of the event was amazing. I met so many interesting people from different backgrounds, all sharing the same passion for mindful leadership. That sense of community was something else. I’m definitely marking my calendar for next year’s Summit and can't wait to see what other events will come out of this experience. It’s not just a conference; it’s a connection to something bigger.

Spent a day at the

Spent a day at the All-Day Silent Retreat and it was something else. Didn't really know what to expect, but it turned out to be pretty eye-opening. No distractions, just pure, uninterrupted time to dive into my own thoughts and feelings. Walking, sitting, stretching—each part of it made me more in tune with myself. Felt like a kid again, just exploring my own head without any rush. Definitely gonna try slowing down more often to catch up with myself. This retreat really showed me how important it is to just take a moment and listen to your own mind.

Attended Piero Falci's 5-Day Silent

Attended Piero Falci's 5-Day Silent Retreat recently, and wow, what an experience! Everything was super well-organized, and the content really hit home. Piero's way of guiding us through the retreat was something else—made me see things in a whole new light. Felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, and I got some serious clarity on stuff I've been wrestling with for a while. The virtual setup worked surprisingly well, too. Definitely looking forward to more retreats like this. It was a game-changer for me, and I can't recommend it enough.
