"Learning meditation with Miles has helped me to make important progress in both my meditation practice and daily life. The virtual classes, community calls, along with the dharma discussions available online all helped to implement into daily practice what earlier was sort of a struggle. On my journey Miles has been an immense source of wisdom, a very approachable teacher, and an attentive coach."

- Lajos Forras, Budapest, Hungary

"Before taking this course, I didn't know much about meditation, let alone how it was relevant to daily life. Today, I have a daily meditation practice as well as a theoretical framework that influence my life in ways I could not have predicated. This course is invaluable for anyone seeking more mindfulness in life. I am grateful for what I have learned from Miles and the amazing people who joined me."

- Kelly Banister, Thetis Island, Canada

It was great to be part of this course."

"A truly unique journey from start to finish. Studying with Miles is a rare opportunity to learn from a teacher who has a deep understanding of the richness and importance of ancient wisdom. But more importantly, he understands how to bring it to life in the present. This is a deep, experiential dive and meaningful growth. I fully recommend this program for meditators at all levels."

"In all my years of studying, I never had such an excellent combination of learning and practice. Miles knows how to build a great learning community which makes the study a wholehearted, living, and enjoyable path. If you feel inspired to go deeper in your mindfulness meditation and share that with the people in your life, this course is definitely how to do it. I highly recommend it."

With this work Miles is helping us move towards leaving the world a better place.”

"Training with Miles in his Meditation Apprenticeship Program has been an extremely enriching experience for me. His vast knowledge shows in the clarity of explanation and guidance he provides while being able to adapt the message to each person.  Furthermore, his commitment to my success has enabled me to accelerate my growth in my mindfulness practice to the point that even after a couple of months into the program I could see the benefits overflowing into my daily life.

Mariana Malcon, Head of Data Science for Guided Selling at HP

"When I first met Miles, I was brand new to meditation, and now I am in his apprenticeship program.  At my first meeting, Miles’ presence was warm and inviting, and I was drawn to his teachings immediately.  It’s been a few years now since that first meeting, and I have grown and developed so much from his guidance. As a coach, this work has changed the way I show up to my clients and has given me the confidence to guide others in this work. I highly recommend Miles as a meditation teacher to help guide you on the path of mindfulness meditation."
