So grateful! Thank you Lourdes for sharing your wisdom with our Preschool teachers. We were all enlightened by the research you shared, soothed and encouraged by the meditation you led and eager to practice the Qigong we learned with our young students!
It was an incredible experience: we all agreed that it was transformative! We want you to return! We want all of our staff to learn about the healing properties of meditation and how simple this powerful practice can be.
