Testimonials
"I first encountered Eileen when she came as a guest speaker to my university class. When I learned she held classes on Mindfulness, I was completely certain that would enroll: her sincere, unhurried and gentle manner was immediately appealing. During the course, Eileen strikes an artful balance – teaching, practice, readings, story-telling, sharing among students…. The whole atmosphere was warm and completely genuine – and created quiet bonds between us as a group. What she brings as a person is softly extraordinary – and undoubtedly powerful … I am unsure how else to put it."
– Jane Winhall-Rice "I am discovering that practicing mindfulness meditation is a gift to myself of wonder, curiosity, and acceptance of myself and my world. More than any other sort of “self-help” that I have tried, mindfulness meditation feels the simplest, the most direct, and the most profound. Eileen is a natural teacher of this type of meditation, and seems to be practicing mindfulness herself as she’s teaching it. She is down to earth, inclusive, insightful, patient, kind and fun."
– Marta Hontas "I found Eileen to be a very knowledgeable, skillful and compassionate teacher. She made everything about her Mindfulness Meditation class a calming and caring experience. She explains the nuts and bolts of meditation, including research and her own first-hand experiences on how it can enhance our lives. I left every class feeling better than when I arrived. I highly recommend Eileen to anyone wanting to learn about mindful meditation in a safe, loving environment."
– Vicki S. "I had attended other Mindfulness based workshops prior to joining Eileen's classes. Sitting with Eileen and my other mindfulness colleagues was a rich and rewarding time. Eileen is a knowledgeable and fun teacher. She creates a safe and accepting environment which allowed me to participate freely, without inhibition. The classes were experiential and educational. We received printed information as well as cd's that I loaned to clients, shared with my spirituality group and use frequently now to enhance my meditation practice. I had many "AHA" moments that deepened my relationship to myself, other people and the world collectively. Eileen lives the teachings, walks her talk."

"I took Eileen Keller's Mindfulness class recently and I highly recommend it. Eileen teaches Mindfulness from both her extensive cultivated knowledge and personal experience. As a teacher, she is well organized, extremely resourceful, funny and compassionate and she also respectfully begins and ends class on time. Each week we received great reading material to grow our interest and understanding on the subject along with Cd's to use for our practice. I continue to value and use the mindfulness practices she shared in class. Take her class, you won't be disappointed!"
– With much gratitude, Pamela Favro "I learned a lot in Eileen's 8 week meditation class She's a warm and inviting teacher who is very knowledgeable about various meditation techniques and is eager to share her experience and answer questions. She uses many resources and is really generous with handouts and audio supports (CDs). She seems truly interested in helping her students establish their own practice based on what works for them - thanks Eileen for helping me along the path!"
– Martha W. "I strongly recommend Eileen’s class and Eileen as a meditation teacher. She has all the qualities I was looking for in a teacher. Not only was she well informed about the practice of meditation but also drew from many of the well known meditation teachers, sharing their tapes and messages with every class. She was sensitive about how to work with beginners as well as more experienced meditators. Through her own personal sharing of the common difficulties we all had as learners, she provided a safe and open environment for us to share whatever we needed to share in our process. I strongly recommend her and her class!!"
– Betsy Bergquist "When I was on my trip I really worked at being present. The breeze against my skin, the shape of the rocks and even the pain they made as I stepped across them, the shape of the leaves, and my surprise at realizing groves of Eucalyptus, the colors of the sky and how the rain danced off the pavement as it hit. I would never have seen and felt so much without Eileen's mindfulness class."
