 "I have had the great pleasure of knowing Reba professionally in a number of ways, including co-leading a Mindfulness workshop together.  Reba brings an open and honest spirit to her work, impressing me with her ability to be present with her own experience and to communicate this effectively with others.  I appreciate Reba's warmth and her commitment to values and ideals, and I highly recommend her as a teacher of mindfulness and stress reduction." 
- Matthew Porter, M.A., LMFT (He/Him) 

I have considered Reba Connell my friend and teacher for more than 20 years. She is a beautiful, joyful teacher of slowing down, becoming mindful, and making our lives more harmonious.  More than that, many of us see her as a profound and poetic interpreter of ancient wisdom traditions that are providing guidance for living in these perilous times.
