Testimonials
Read what our previous students say about their experiences with us
This course has been one of the most enriching I have ever taken in my life. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in a course that has surely changed something inside me. The participants were willing to share their ideas, experiences, and teaching practices and our teacher in the course was really warm, professional and inspiring. She did an incredible job preparing a course well-structured, practical, directly applicable to my work and my life, and also creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. I feel motivated to bring what I’ve learned into my daily teaching and share it with my colleagues.

I was shocked by the quality of the course. Your skills are incredible and I truly appreciate your professional side and the scientific vision. I am grateful for all the little details, from the tea – moments to the morning smiles, for the honesty and for opening a new world to me.
Alicia Duque, Erasmus Mindfulness course 2025
Thank you Sini and Piia! For one week, I dove into another world. It was so beautiful, relaxed, kind and natural. In my mind I recorded immediately the words from our last meditation: well, save, peaceful an at ease. I think it`s my new mantra.
Antje Schulte, Mindfulness for Teachers Course 2023
I really enjoyed the time here. It was nice and friendly atmosphere, I felt safe and able to share my thoughts. Sini and Piia were always available and helped us also with leisure time planning. Thank you so much! It was wonderful time and I really want to implement mindfulness to my everyday life and also my teachings.
