Dear Chris,
Thank you for your recent work with our organization. Two of our staff members felt that your weekly sessions with us were the highlight of their month. Among the benefits mentioned by staff are: your 2-hour sessions provided a nice change of pace to the work week and were a relaxing way to start the work day; staff felt more relaxed in general at work and at home; staff members used the mindfulness techniques you taught us to deal with difficult personal issues (like the loss of a dear friend) and with day to day stresses; staff members became more aware of the ways they can and do use mindfulness in their lives. Also, your session with our high school students had a great impact on many of them by helping them to relax and relieve stress. We are very excited and look forward to continuing this work with you. Sincerely, Maisha Moses YPP Executive Director |

What Our Workshop Participants Are SayingChris Mayya has been a great partner in our public art work at Medicine Wheel. The guided meditation offered by Chris has played a significant part in our Hand in Hand project. As our meditation facilitator, Chris has been instrumental in setting a beautiful tone, for the youth and the police to feel comfortable at the beginning of the workshop, thereby opening the channels for dialogue. |
