Testimonials: "The workshop in Mindfulness Meditation as taught by Margot Sangster provided insight into an unexplored and often overlooked dimension of growth and learning for students and staff: the care of the self. It was one of those experiences in which the learning and benefits continue the more the teachings are practiced." Stephen Fraser, Coquitlam School District "Margot Sangster is perfect for delivering presentations on meditation. She is clear, concise, and extremely knowledgeable." Karen Goodfellow, Regional Wellness Specialist, Telus Mobility Wellness Program "The meditation session you did here at VPL was excellent. I'm hearing staff members say that it's easier than they thought. Myths about meditation have been dispelled." Sherry MacLeod, Vancouver Public Library "I loved the workshop, it exceeded my expectations! But now that I've let them go, it's even better." Tricia Kehler, Hope Program, Stenberg College "I really feel that you have helped make a lasting improvement in my life."
