“This retreat was truly a gift, and it helped restore my physical, mental, and spiritual energy. The experience showed me how spiritual practices can renew my spirit during challenging times.

Viv offered a wonderful balance of sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, and reflection.

Her gentle and insightful guidance gave me powerful support, and helped me clarify my goals and priorities.”

-Lucinda, Tutor

My experience with the mini retreat was much needed. I felt great benefits days later; deep sleep and a desire to do more mindful eating. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you need to reset your mind and body.

“Patient and considerate, Viv provided a useful introductory course on meditation. I especially appreciate how she effectively explains salient concepts from a non-religious perspective.

“I very much enjoyed working with Vivinne. Her meditation sessions have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and I benefited from learning basic meditation techniques such as the body scan and walking meditation. She helped me deal with stress and sleeping problems, and I can certainly recommend her as a meditation instructor.”

-Tom S. Professor

“Viv’s approach to meditation instruction is thorough, gentle, and grounded in a deep understanding of simple relaxation techniques. As someone who had taken mindfulness-based meditation classes before but had not kept up with my practice, I was inspired by Viv’s example and guidance to make a commitment to daily meditation.

Her instruction has transformed the way I react in the moment to stress, allowing me to be more compassionate and patient with others.
