Thank you Rev Skip, I loved this course. And I’m planning to listen to it again before moving on to another. Your voice and your words were very calming, open and kind. The only suggestion is perhaps to speak a little more slowly at the start which would help me as I’m a slow processor and a bit older so need time to really absorb your words I would definitely do more courses with you Thanks so much

Skip was great. The biggest learning was being conscientious of the activity you are doing as a form of meditation. Makes a lot of sense.
