CAMRE Workshop Feedback

Pilot Program Feedback

多开课,受益良多

Do open more workshop - benefitted alot through the programme. 

课程开始的时候身体比较差,头疼,开始上课以后逐渐减轻,因此也能更专注。

When I first attended, I was having headache and health was poor. As the workshop continue, my condition improved and I can better concentrate.

我希望有机会能够继续学习这三种学向。因为这些知识都是需要花时间的跟进,才能現见效果。感谢三位导师和秋婷的贡献。

I wish I have the opportunity to continue with these three courses of CAMRE workshop.. Because these knowledge need time and  continuous practice, to get the full results. Truly grateful to all the 3 instructors and to our coordinator QiuTing. 

静坐课也是摸索着,但最近睡眠质量很好。 如果可以继续多8周更好🙏

Though I am only beginning to explore meditation, it seems sleep qualityhas improved. If I can continue for another 8 weeks it will be even better!
