A Powerful Testimonial Re: Mindfulness and the Art of Letting Go
"I seriously thought of contacting the Licensing Social Work Board to tell them that your workshop was one of the best I have ever attended. You provided such concrete information that will be useful to our clients and taught us in an experiential way that greatly helped us to feel and understand how to make these strategies work. These strategies will also benefit our own personal growth work. In our profession, we should grow psychologically! To go to a workshop that is so warmly and intelligently presented was fabulous.” LISW-S

“This workshop provided more experiential exercises than any other that I have attended over the past 40 years. David Fiala presented in a committed, caring & humorous manner. He not only demonstrated a deep, sincere understanding of the material, but also clearly explained skills in such a way that one could easily apply them to their professional life or professional practice. I left the workshop rejuvenated and a stronger belief & confidence in the benefits of Mindfulness as well as letting go. I strongly recommend it!”
