"Lovely atmosphere"
"Warmth, friendliness, the patient, inclusive atmosphere"
"Easy to understand, well paced out, very friendly instructors and enough time to ask questions"
"I loved the decor and ambiance created - the helpers were delightful as well!"
"A big thank you to all the participants for making the day special and to the wonderful team who helped to set up, cater, run the bookshop and de-rigged at the end of a long but blissful day remembering Amma."

IAM Technique Transforming Incarcerated Juveniles

5 January 2007 — Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
"I asked one of the Detention Center's staff members whether he thought that the meditation was having any positive effects on the juveniles. He replied, 'several of the boys in the class had been released from the facility recently... their releases are related to meditation.' He further said he could see a difference in the behavior of the boys who were meditating, they were more peaceful."

Account of the first non-residential IAM - Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique® course

9-10 December 2006
'The University of Roehampton's Digby Stuart College was the venue for the first non-residential IAM - Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique® training course in the UK on 9 and 10 December. We were welcomed by the college's Roman Catholic Chaplain, Rev. Robert Kaggwa who showed a keen interest in Amma and the meditation course and insisted that we hold the teaching in the main chapel itself and not in the parlour as had been originally arranged.

This larger space allowed for more people to attend, and about 40 people enrolled for the weekend course, some coming from hundreds of miles away. One participant, who had been on a waiting list, travelled by bus, train and tube for over 6 hours to attend!

The lunch and refreshments, book shop and registration was managed by a handful of dedicated Amma-children. Thanks to them, the course went smoothly, including the actual teaching. Amma's Grace was so prevalent that it did not seem to matter who were the teachers, the teaching just happened. The new English bhajan "Hail to your Glory, my Lord and my King" seemed apt for the sacred venue, and all joined in clapping hands and singing loudly during the evening bhajans.'
