Thank you

Maureen,

You're essentially teaching children at an early age to take charge of their own mental health.. GENIUS.

You are an inspiration and a beaken of hope in this troubled world. Keep up the amazing work. These children, their parents, and the rest of the world, for that matter, are lucky to have you.

We need major reform in our school systems to promote healing and better interpersonal relationships and why not start at the very beginning when it can have the most profound effects.

There are cold hard facts with PET/CT scans of monks showing all the positive effects of meditation on the brain including increased cognitive and emotional processing and general increased positive emotional states. That's a world of people I'd like to live in.

Sincerely,
YG

Interestingly enough, my intention is to create a school where emotional health, creative development and skills enhancement are fostered along with the "regular" subjects. I found it fascinating you would mention school reform.

Again, thank you for the encouragement (sometimes that is all we need).

Best, Maureen
