A wholesome curse that not only life changing but also motivates you to share the knowledge gained with those arround you.
Really liked the content. I honestly grew more resilient and compassionate and less reactive with this course. Thanks to Dr. Slater!
Really effective course especially in times like these where we are struggling to keep ourselves together. Thank you so much, Dr. Slator for providing us with purely authentic and meaningful content.
the concept of mindfulness has been beautifully explained with the contents provided (video and reading material). It can be assimilated by people at a different level of knowledge as well..
