This program is lovely and wonderful. I feel reconnected to myself and my greater path. I was feeling disconnected from my practice and community for some time and through the program have healed a lot of confusion and am reconnected.

Andrea has presented a gentle  program that eases one into a regular meditation practice.  She builds the skills you need in a safe manner.  Thank you for this Andrea.

I am able to meet my mind. I am able to let things go, even when they are intense. I am able to meditate for 3 hours. This is feeling like a level of mastery - especially just being able to connect with my mind in a space of peace. It's new!

This is a well paced and valuable course. The underlying practices are so helpful for staying grounded and joyful no matter how deep the challenges you are facing in your life and work.

I was not harsh with myself at all, I just went along with the program. I think it trained me. Afterwards I fell off the wagon for a few days, but I'm back on the wagon now and I am seriously invested in cultivating further relationship with my meditation.

I was able to really get back into my body after years of dissociation. I learned that meditation on a daily basis helps me with decision making and energy levels. I am on track with my piano studies and confident about passing my exam in May. This is a result of being more centred.

I signed up for this program out of a very intense desire to cultivate and access within myself a safe and grounded source of wisdom, strength, and sanity after going through a really distressing upheaval in my life.  The structured but gentle pacing, content, and resources offered in this program were exactly what I needed.  Andrea brings a deeply feminine, wise, and gentle approach which allows you to feel cared for and attended to in a really tender way.  I have come out of this program feeling far more comfortable and at ease in my meditation practice, equipped with a toolkit of resources to aid in my practice, and with that sense of groundedness and security within myself that I had so desired to cultivate through this program.  I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a gentle, structured, and empowering engagement with their own meditation practice.

As a survivor and a former member of Shambhala, who was struggling with suicidal ideation connected to all the harm in Shambhala, I found this program to be deeply healing and refreshing. The trauma-informed meditation practices uncovered the energies of love in my body and I learned new ways to bring that love into the world. I was skeptical about trying this program, however, Andrea Winn has created something wonderful gentle and trauma-informed that has the power to transform lives and bring deep healing. It really was helpful in cultivating a sense of empowerment and strength with meditation. Inviting the inner child parts into the meditation practice was so healing and powerful. The trauma-informed practices for hyperarousal and intrusion were brilliant and the 3-week mastery module radically changed my life.....Andrea Winn is amazing!!!

I didn't think it would be possible to ever feel wholesome again or to have a meditation practice. The Heal Your Heart Through Meditation program re-introduced me to a healthy and wholesome meditation practice, in such gentle and doable steps. It is a very sensitive program that gave me space for feeling my pain, while at the same time encouraging me to keep taking steps to establish a meditation practice.
