GoogleI completed Laughter Yoga leader training with Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat and Kelly Podlubny recently. This was a very enriching experience. Not only lots of laughter, but sharing of deep emotions safely within our small 10 person group. Our trainers took the time to be fully present with each participant. It was beautiful to choose to simulate laughter and to laugh genuinely inspite of having challenges in life. I feel I grew as a person with more kindness, confidence and caring for people. I am thankful to our trainers and other participants for a very special weekend.
I completed the MBSR program with Kassim in fall 2025. I could not have been happier with my experience. Kassim was a fabulous facilitator, bringing so much joy and energy, and creating a space where people felt able to open up as we grew and learned together. The changes I have seen in my life are meaningful and profound, I'm so glad that I "learned" to meditate with Kassim!
I highly recommend this MBSR course with Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat, because he has a very gentle and kind approach to his teaching methods. I had tried meditating in the past, and was not able to feel any positive effects, and in fact it seemed to just make me more anxious. Dr. Kasim was able to give us so many different tools to work with and various options, and encouraged us to create a practice that works for our own specific needs. My goal was to find a way to reduce my stress levels, due to some current health issues. Using the tools I have learned, (short meditation with focused breath), I am able to reduce a high blood pressure reading down to below normal, with a simple 5 minute practice. Much better and quicker than medication, ... and available to me anytime anywhere! I also think that learning in a group has such multiple benefits, and now I feel part of a bigger community as well. This course was an investment in my health and well being. Annie - Vancouver, Dec 2025
I completed the Laughter Leader training and it was so amazing. Well organized and delivered. Facilitators were professional and welcoming. The content and materials are easy to follow and can be integrated into other modalities or offered as a whole. I was struggling with deep grief and the training offered me a safe space to shift some of that heaviness... leaving the weekend, I felt elevated, fulfilled and so grateful to have completed the program! Thanks so much.
The 7-day online silent meditation retreat with Kasim and Bob was an incredible experience. I felt safe, supported, and fully able to turn inward. The talks and meditation guidance were the perfect blend to stay present without distractions. I’m very grateful for the space they created and would highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking depth in their mindfulness practice.
