Experiences

“My experience in workshop with Miles demonstrated the reverberating potential of meditation to kickstart positive feedback loops between the individual and the community, where each continually betters the other. If universities seek to cultivate leaders and participants in the next generation of positive change, I believe this work not only deserves, but demands, a space on their campuses.”

—Courtney Wright, Middlebury College

“I had an empowering, challenging, and eye-opening experience at this retreat. I feel much more comfortable being in my own body—with its discomforts and everything else. Spending restorative time by myself has felt much easier as a result. I felt grateful to enter back into my life with a palpably stronger sense of compassion and hope for the wellbeing of others.”

—James Stebbins, University of Vermont

“At the end of the experience, we had all connected with ourselves and each other in such a deep and transitive way that I have trouble finding the right words to describe the impact of this session. I did know for certain though that I wanted others to have this same experience.”

- Tay Lotte, Syracuse University

“The practices of deep mindfulness training and interpersonal meditation taught by excellent facilitators in a beautiful location held with such a wholesome balance of rigor, ease, intensity and playfulness was so acutely beneficial, and I’m already seeing the fruits of this event blossom in my everyday life. My wish is for these opportunities to be available to every young adult in the country.”
