What a beautiful peaceful location to find serenity!…read more Although my doubts nearly conquered me, I believe God truly led me to this retreat. For far too long, I thought it was okay to give away as much as I could, regardless of my costs, both physically and mentally. I learned the importance of health and wellbeing for myself and that it is not selfish to put myself first, in order for important aspects in my life including relationships with friends, family, and God to thrive. From the retreat, I am able to take away tools to communicate with my husband verbally, ways to share our passions and support each other's dreams while not sacrificing our own. I am so grateful this event allowed me to "fill up" and learn ways to walk the path I have yearned so long for.

My first experience with GR Center for Mindfulness was Carol's 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress…read moreReduction class. Because I am a yoga instructor, I felt like I already had a reasonable grasp of meditation, but I participated fully and with an open mind to see what it was like. The deeper understanding of stress and how to relate to it differently has been life-changing. The simply but effective practices are something that I can rely on in the midst of even very stressful life situations, and the quality of my life and my relationships has improved significantly thanks to what I learned. I have also taken the Self-Compassion for Beginners workshop and the Building Mindful Connection course, and I can't wait to take another class!

With mixed emotions of enthusiasm and trepidation I signed up for my first Mindfulness Based…read moreMeditation Class offered through Grand Rapids Mindfulness Center earlier this year. I attended once a week, going to both April and Carol's evening class as my schedule changed often. Both April and carol were wonderful, patient teachers of the class, helping a meditation novice like myself, grow and develop in practice. The MBSR curriculum itself is challenging yet stimulating and I can say that I've changed for the better from the homework and lessons. I feel like I do live more in the present with less anxiety, increased creativity, calmer disposition, and greater awareness of my emotions and thoughts. I would recommend a MBSR class from either Carol or April to anyone. Grand Rapids Mindfulness Center also brings in various authors and speakers on the topic of mindfulness and meditation in addition to yoga and meditation sessions for those already practicing. They are based out of Expressions of Grace Yoga Studio on Northland Drive Grand Rapids but they offer the MBSR courses throughout the city. .
