Disappointing

I'd follow Tara Brach anywhere, but this program set up with her "friends" leading most of the weekly community meditations, was just disappointing. Her friends are children with little psychological sophistication and not a lot of meditation experience. I did enjoy David Cabrera's Qigong/tapping session, though that wasn't meditation per se. We're actually paying for the 8 or 9 times we'll be seeing Tara live. The Sounds True platform I found non-intuitive and clumsy. Accessing all the course materials was a real awkward challenge. I'm grateful--really--that Tara put this together following the election. I just wish other more experienced teachers had been involved and a different platform used.

Tara is a gift to the world 🌎

I am loving this course and so excited that we still have so much to learn.

Grateful that we have lifetime access as I have listened to sessions twice and look forward to relistening in the months/years to come.

I have loved the other facilitators too and the group Q&A ‘s. Thank you Tami and Sounds True . You truly are waking up the world.

Not worth the money

I love what Tara has to say, but do not feel that this has been worth my money. I am not satisfied. If I had to do it over again, I would not have signed up. Thank you.
