Testimonial from Rachel

Overall, my experience was moving and intense. The training was incredibly insightful, collaborative and really well guided. I felt supported throughout the programme, with plenty of opportunity for reflection, questioning, exploring, practising and teaching. It was a great balance between learning and teaching, and the connection built between the participants was masterfully held by both Bodhin and Helen.

I am so pleased I decided to attend the TT1 at Solterreno. Despite being online and in-person, the community and connection that was built during the week was really special, and a testi mony to Bodhin and Helen's nurturing and teaching space. The course itself felt the perfect balance between learning, meditating, and guiding practices. Any self-doubts which I had beforehand were completely eased thanks to plenty of time for personal reflection and group feedback, plus support and encouragement from the group and both teachers.

Training Staff feedback

I have no suggestions for improvement! I enjoyed learning from both Bodhin and Helen's experiences, different insights and words of advice and support throughout the course content. I really appreciated the focus on inquiry, witnessing the different styles/possibilities, and the opportunity to delve into that aspect of mindfulness. I especially felt supported during my difficult moments, and can only extend my deep gratitude for all of the words of encouragement, and caring questions.

I want to add I also really appreciated the final afternoon of "next steps", this felt like a great way to round off the week. It was interesting to hear what others were considering, and also was great to receive some suggestions/support in pursuing my next steps.

TT3, June 2022

I loved how the course was structured. I took TT1 in the intense format of 1 week and TT2 was instead spread over 2 months. I really enjoyed both formats and I felt that TT2 was ideal in this format, because I really had the time to absorb what I learnt in each session and had time to prepare.…

Fantastic course. The structure of each day was fantastic. The days were long but every activity or teaching session felt like it was not rushed, there was spaciousness and yet things didn't often overrun or feel crammed in. Perfect balance. The teachers were absolutely wonderful, grounding,…
