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!
The introduction of Raga in conjunction with meditation was refreshing and certainly aroused the curiosity of members of the public. Both instructors for Raga and Meditation are very experienced and command deep respect in their fields and areas of knowledge. It has been a humbling and enriching experience learning alongside them and certainly paves the way for me to improve on my general well-being, especially the mental aspect. Mental strength and resilience is something we all take for granted. I am glad I attended this highly-recommended workshop. A big thank you to the organisers and supporters to make this happen for the benefit of ordinary folks like me.
