I
am fortunate to have had you for a teacher and that makes me smile :) . In the tiny space of time I practiced with you and
the Sanga, you were able to transmit to me, what I still am discovering to be real stillness. It is one of the most important
and influential times of my life. Compassion and laughter THANK YOU.

I have been thrilled to participate
in three retreats with Michael at Atlantic Center for the Arts, and have also benefited greatly from personal counseling
with him. I have meditated and practiced yoga for many years and in the past several years my practice had fallen into a
doldrums. In learning new techniques, and listening to dharma talks and dialogues from Michael, my practice has been invigorated.
The Emotional Connection meditation technique and the general instructions of just opening to the present moment, just being
with whatever arises, have taken root within me and very quietly and steadily blossomed within me in as a bright explosiveness
in every cell of my being.

Dear Michael,
It has been
almost 3 weeks since the retreat, in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The lessons that I have learned
are very subtle for me as I have been working with breath for many years. Natural meditation is enhanced for me by the sounds
of nature itself. In my morning meditations, the sounds of nature, birds, cicadas, squirrels, keep me connected with the earth
and with my life purpose by helping me plant each foot firmly on the earth. The exercises that you gave us are invaluable,
especially the judgment of self and others. These lessons burrow deep into the soul self for sort of a "deep cleaning".
Thank You Again for making this possible for all of us!

Michael Kane
is a unique teacher. He combines Buddhist principles, mindfulness practice and loving presence to create a container
for assisting students to more fully realize their true nature. He is adept at deepening silence and from that silence
coming forth with spontaneous clarity.
