I’ve discovered more about mindfulness working with Bram than I did from any book, app or pre-recorded meditation. He tailors the experience to the person and to the moment, using a balance of practical tips, variety and traditional instruction. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced meditator, you’ll get a lot from his guidance. Working with Bram deepened my meditation practice and improved my life.

Bram is a terrific mindfulness teacher! He creates an environment of inclusivity, ease and friendliness -a place where students can meet themselves in a creative, richly-textured and experiential way.

As a previous professional mentor to Bram, I have had the pleasure of experiencing his approach to life, relationships, and to the path of sharing and teaching Mindfulness. Bram embodies Presence as a natural and generous trait and he teaches from the heart - while having a firm grounding in the science behind the practices. Bram’s down to earth approach is steeped in his own committed practice which radiates from his being. He’s a rare and humble gem and I highly recommend him as a facilitator.

In a matter of weeks, Bram has been the catalyst to creating an island of calm at our little library. He offers gentle guidance to help meditators of all levels to start or deepen an ongoing practice. Attendees return again and again for his non-preachy, insightful suggestions on how to tame the chaos that sometimes hijacks our day-to-day existence. He is the ideal guide to reaching a state of equanimity.

Bram’s mid-day meditation sessions were extraordinarily helpful to me. Not just the guided meditation, but the discussion afterwards. The sessions felt more inter-disciplinary, which in a creative environment, felt different than what I had experienced before

Bram is a phenomenal teacher. He provides a protective sphere of accepting kindness, which has proved critical in my ability to tolerate sitting with myself for long periods of time. In those (sometimes frequent) moments when I am frustrated or critical with myself and the practice, I can instead be curious and compassionate because he has modeled these perspectives for me and created a space in which they can thrive. The sessions I did with Bram have given me specific, actionable tools to practice mindfulness in my daily as a way of alleviating my anxiety and increasing my joy. I would recommend him to anyone!

Bram is an ideal teacher and his meditation class has enriched my life. He is the perfect guide to enriching the experience. I drive and hour to attend class and it is well worth it.
— Mick Cipolla, Practitioner
Before taking a weekly workshop with Bram, I thought meditating meant stopping thoughts from entering your brain. Needless to say I was ignorant, but also curious, and couldn’t have been luckier to have Bram as a teacher. He made mindfulness accessible by not only giving us tools and techniques, but also explaining their conceptual underpinnings. I was as intellectually engaged as I was emotionally empowered by his class. Bram is talented, wise, kind, and passionate about helping all of his students become happier, more mindful humans.
