I…read moreinitially came here several years ago when they were at their old location in the heart of Downtown Silver Spring. I did a tour of the museum and was very impressed. Most recently, I came to their new location in Forest Glen to take one of their free weekly "Learn to Meditate" classes. The instructor told us a little about himself and his history with the museum. We then did some exercises that taught us some best practices on how to meditate. The instructor was extremely helpful, and being surrounded by other like-minded people made the experience that much more enjoyable. The meditation class is every Saturday from 11am-12pm. They also have classes on vegan/vegetarian cooking, soul/body awareness, self-confidence and self-respect, relaxation techniques, and much much more. The classes are free of charge, but they do take voluntary donations. This is a great place for people looking to tap into their spirituality. I look forward to attending more of their events in the future.

I took the Mindful Enneagram course with Rob Creekmore and I highly recommend it. I've been…read morestudying the Enneagram through the Diamond Approach for 15 years and Rob added another depth of knowledge and understanding to what I already knew. He has great versatility in his ability to understand the nuances of each type, how each type interacts with their core fixation and how each type might be mistaken for another. He taught each of the enneatypes with respect to the 3 foundations of mindfulness - body, heart and mind - and how each of those mindfulness practices could be a source of support for us as we learn to loosen up our attachment to the egoic aspects of our enneatype. His teaching style is relaxed and relational and he never seemed rushed with any of our questions or observations but rather would take the time to explore them. I recommend keeping an eye out for the next time he offers the course.

For people who are interested in spiritual and personal growth from a Western Buddhist psychology…read moreperspective, I highly recommend this organization. It is founded and led by highly trained and compassionate people who, in my experience, encourage an individualized approach and welcome honest feedback. One trainer I especially appreciate is Stan Eisenstein. I have taken a number of courses from him and for over 2 years have attended a daily weekday Telesangha that I find extremely helpful. The latest course with him and co-leader Ruth Zanoni, who was also excellent, was a 17 week course on living with chronic pain and chronic illness using a Western Buddhist psychology framework and an experiential methodology with easily accessible homework. It is so helpful that I encourage all who live with chronic pain and/or illness to consider the course "Inviting Chronic Pain and Illness to Tea". My perspective comes from a 40 year career as a licensed master-level clinical social worker in private practice who has worked psychodynamically in her own practice and her own personal psychotherapy.

She has helped me with my main goal -- getting in better shape for tennis -- and tailors my workouts to strengthening my core, quads, and upper arm muscles, among other areas.

I've had a variety of trainers but she is by far the best in targeting the training to my specific goals. Don't know what I'd do without her!

It is small, friendly, very well-equipped, with a real sense of community, thanks to the spirit, expertise, knowledge, and philosophy of co-owners Megan McCoy and Ken Yazge I've trained with Megan for several years, having followed her from the WSC to Fitness Generation. She has got to be one of the best trainers around. She's uniquely skilled--she's incredibly knowledgeable and professional; she up-to-date on the latest approaches and in working with clients to get stronger, and more fit and healthy. (She and Ken build their practice around a holistic approach to functional aging--the living of vital, active lives.) Megan always focuses on the client's needs. She prepares individualized routines, and she's both motivating and supportive while giving regular tips on position, stance, form, etc.... Megan's knowledge is amazingly broad. She can answer seemingly any question about physiology, musculature, exercise strategy--you name it. She is also fun to work with. She's upbeat, creative, and energizing, and endlessly fun to talk to. She gets my highest recommendation.

I can tell you that Jessica is very caring and knows what she is doing. Around 2018, I was…read moreintroduced to her by someone close. It was the first time I had met a hypnotherapist, so I did not know what to expect. I told her about my ongoing struggles of my life and then she told me about the whole process of hypnotherapy. I told her that my main problems were anxiety and depression. So, she put me into a deep sleep to help me explore the roots of my problems. For the past year, I have been going to her and she helped me greatly. It is thanks to her that my mind and health has gotten much better than before. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help. Jessica is very nice and she will always do her best to help you overcome obstacles.

Jessica Lin has been so kind and helpful from the moment we met. I deal with anxiety, OCD, and many…read moreother limiting behaviors and beliefs that I am working through. From the moment we connected via email, I had a good feeling about her. She responded promptly, and she even communicated with me via text message, which I found very personable and accessible. Her office is easy to locate and is located on a serene property surrounded by trees and nature. I found it calming before I even walked inside. Inside is a beautifully decorated office space, I would call it quite simple and zen. She gave me a little tour on my first visit. One of the many things I enjoy about my sessions with Jessica is that she takes the time to ask me questions about how I have been doing over the last couple of weeks. She is a wonderful listener and is always concerned about how I am feeling and what is going on in my life. She always remembers what we spoke about and remembers my loved ones' names, which I find very thoughtful and nice. After we catch up on life, she asks me what my main concern(s) are currently. I tell her what they are and then she proceeds to guide me through a meditative hypnosis wherein we focus on the topic or person of my choice. From the first session, I felt a weight lifted off my chest. Three sessions after that, I feel more empowered, confident, and peaceful. Meditation is something I have been learning and practicing for a few years. At times during meditation, one can feel vulnerable and fearful. I feel protected and safe when Jessica guides me through a meditation/hypnosis, and that is extremely important for it to be effective. Hypnosis was something I have never done before, but always wanted to try. I have learned in my personal studies that much of our inner healing takes place when we are silent and still. I find that silence to be very healing - even though it's hard sometimes to be still and silent for longer than 5 minutes for someone as restless as me. She guides me through a meditation that I helped create (my happy place is a beautiful beach). She has also guided me through other various hypnotic states. I have learned how to better meditate and visualize whatever results I want. I have also learned how to focus more on gratitude and less on fear-based thought patterns and behaviors. It's hard to describe how helpful meditation and hypnosis are - but I believe they're the best kind of therapy that exist. Jessica is one of the most kind hearted and also professional people I have ever worked with. She has given me tools that I can take with me and use any time in my life. She has a VERY calming presence and voice, and she fluctuates her tone during the hypnosis, which I find to be very pleasant and relaxing. It's safe to say that I recommend Jessica Lin to anyone who is ready to heal whatever is preventing them from living the life of their dreams. Thank you Jessica.
