Testimonials

Thank you for introducing me to Humanist Meditation and mindfulness. I had lived my life as if I were blind, not even knowing what a chaotic mind was like until you pointed to the experience of a calm mind. This opened my eyes (mind) and has changed my life in so many ways. I am not who I was prior to this experience. I am so grateful to you and your Meditation classes. Thank you.

There are thousands of meditation techniques, and different styles work for different people. I’ve tried a few but was really relaxing, not meditating. But when I started the Humanist Meditation classes, I’d finally found a technique that worked to connect the senses to the body and mind. It enabled me to be present in whatever situation I was in and accept it with loving kindness and equanimity. Richard is a mentor that believes in the healing power of meditation and is driven by the sense of duty and purpose to equip humanity with the tools needed to find the path to tranquility.

I have attended both private and group humanist meditation sessions with Richard, and wish I had found this years ago. I appreciate his evidence based practices and the emphasis on kindness to self and others. The sessions are creative and filled with humor. My initial goals were to learn how to relax when I had trouble going to sleep, and to better let go of anger so I could move on constructively. I have been pleased to find as a side benefit, my ability to focus has improved as well. A great investment in yourself!

Presenter was very knowledgeable; Gave detailed explanations; Shared his own experiences.

This was an excellent experience, I’m new with meditation and my fiancé has knowledge and has done it before as well. Richard is very good at explaining every meditation. I learned a lot!! And left with a lot of different tips on meditation. I’m very much excited on continuing with the methods that I learned. Thank you for your kindness and patience!

Loved the fact-based (no woo-woo), benefits-focused presentation of meditation and how to use it in my life. Really stimulated my interest in meditation.

The ‘audience feedback’ part after each meditation was really nice. It was a welcoming environment and I felt safe.
