Good Stuff our clients and community say about us:“The workshop SO SO good. Thank you for delivering such a great session with some real eye openers and moments of realisation! A couple of my team joined and I saw them putting boundaries into action straight away which was really positive to see. It’s just what we needed at M&amp;C Saatchi and has been one of our most popular Together Network sessions to date” — M&amp;C Saatchi"I have found the YSM8 Loving Kindness guided meditations to be incredibly powerful. Poonam creates a safe, calm, non-judgmental space. She hosts the sessions in such a way that allows me to trust and open up to the process of grace and peace that Loving Kindness practice can offer. YSM8 and Poonam have allowed me to process and accept challenging thoughts and emotions, and to access a place of peace within myself. " - Community feedback"I learnt some interesting concepts from YSM8 workshops. Poonam guided us through the meditation very well and created an extremely open and peaceful atmosphere for us to look inwards. I am someone which finds it difficult to switch my mind off, but I felt completely at peace and almost entranced during the meditation. I left the session feeling light and like I was floating on a cloud. " - Community feedback“After the session, many attendees (including myself) shared the pure emotional power of the shared experience, &amp; how connected they felt; even if it was virtual. Lots of loving tears were shared &amp; we all couldn't be happier for doing so.” — The Trampery"Poonam's nourishment workshop for our team left me feeling truly rejuvenated. This workshop was so accessible, left me feeling so capable and so ready to bring these practices into my everyday. The lovingkindness meditation was particularly powerful, and I opened my eyes and felt a physical difference having been guided through such a positive and generous experience. I'd highly recommend Poonam's sessions - her tone is warm and friendly, and has just enough wit paired with depth that you feel immediately at home, without feeling irreverent or awkward. Can't wait for my next session." - gal-dem
