Some comments about the courses experienced by participants at Cornell:

[The course] “relieved stress and helped me to relax”

“The paybacks are impossible to measure, but they include seeing that senior management cares, seeing that they are creative, getting a glimpse at some of the more esoteric benefits Cornell makes available to staff, and finally the benefit you intended – giving us tools to manage stress”.

“Excellent class, really enjoyed it. Good combination of discussion, teaching and practice”

“Having this sponsored by [my department] was absolutely key for me, in part because of the convenient location and in part because I was comfortable with the other attendees”

“This was my first time doing a meditation class and it was great. I have learned a lot”

“Definitely worth it and enjoyable, the instructor was very knowledgeable. Made you feel valuable to the organization that something like this was offered”
