★★★★★Communications OfficeOur K–4 students at St. Anne's School of Annapolis absolutely loved their mindfulness assembly with Ben! He created an engaging, positive experience that truly resonated with students. Many shared that they learned something new and noticed more positive emotions after participating. Ben did a fantastic job delivering an interactive, high-energy assembly through Zoom that worked seamlessly in classrooms. The experience aligned perfectly with our SEL goals and gave students meaningful tools for self-awareness and emotional regulation. We would enthusiastically recommend Ben to any school looking for a powerful and student-centered mindfulness experience.
★★★★★Alison VillanisBen is amazing! Where do I start? Very grateful he was able to give a virtual SEL on our campus for our 2nd-6th grade students! All students were engaged and eager to participate!
★★★★★Victoria PeaceWe are so lucky to have Ben and his programming available to our teen. Not only is our son getting amazing coaching which is advancing his basketball skills exponentially but he's also learning how to be a great human being. Thank you Ben for all that you do and for all that you give.
★★★★★Aaron DavidCoach Ben is the best! His passion for teaching and connecting with kids shines through in every session. The basketball program he runs is outstanding, and his guidance and mentorship have made such a positive impact on our kid. We couldn’t ask for a better mentor—Coach Ben truly goes above and beyond to inspire and support the kids and the community. Lots of love to you Ben!
★★★★★Nicky PMy son has been in this program for 2 years. It combines the love of basketball with mindfulness. What you have to understand is, these coaches are sowing the seeds of the tree that will bear fruit in years to come- learning how to manage emotions, failure/success - Coach Ryan and Ben have so much energy, and compassion. They are real in terms of - when they have "their moments" they let the kids know- that even s an adult "Its OK" .. and how to best manage it. Love this a tonne. So much blessing and gratitude for the organisers .
