    This event was absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I bought one of Marie-Joelle’s cd’s because now we can listen to her more often. 🙂 The best moment for me personally was the Wednesday night class/public program after the weekend. Hearing the power and feeling the resonance of the notes when Tim Bruce sings Sanskrit is so wonderful. The feeling in that room after the meditation and Tim singing is indescribable. Thank You.

    Ontario was fortunate to have a legend like Tim. Many thanks to all the busy schedule and unmeasurable vibrations spread by him. May Shri Mataji be present with you brother, in your journey. Throughout.
