What People Say About Ronya
“Thank you so much for coming to Care Partners to teach us Mindfulness Meditation techniques. Your instruction, knowledge of, and experience with meditation was refreshing and very helpful to all of us. We are really looking forward to having you come back and teach us some more in the future!”
Danny Johnson, Care Partners Hospice, Asheville, NC
“I finally ‘got’ the true meaning of Mindfulness Meditation and the extraordinary experience of its practice, when led by Ronya Banks. She taught us that Mindfulness does not begin and end in the class, but rather, its practice is absorbed inside us to be carried to our day to day lives, bringing us, with a more open connection with each other, greater energy, awareness, patience, appreciation, along with both enhanced productivity and calm….I feel validated and joyful in Ronya’s presence, the mark of a true teacher…. ”
Jane Q. Stanchich, Great Life Global, Asheville, NC

“Ronya is very knowledgeable and her wise and caring approach makes it easy to learn these mindfulness practices. From her teaching, I am learning to better ‘sit’ and notice and pay attention. I am enhancing my awareness. This practice helps me decrease judgment and increase acceptance. I am becoming better at reacting skillfully to my own thoughts and feelings and better at responding more skillfully to situations and people in my life.”
