"Thank you, Kristin. Meditation training this weekend was wonderful! I must say you have a gift and I am so glad you share it with others. I think there are things in life that we experience and/or learn and some experiences one holds dear to their heart and this weekend is one of those experiences. I simply cannot say enough good things about it and how wonderful it is that you have brought this training to the YMCA. Thank you!"
