"I have known Vijay for nearly 10 years and have seldom encountered anyone so dedicated to their own training and to the training of others. Vijay's extensive background in mindfulness adds an important dimension to his approach to ACT. He brings a special gentle attention to his training efforts that will certainly benefit those he trains."

"These workshops are an opportunity not only to learn a comprehensive overview of ACT, but to experience it in action. Vijay is passionate about living his values. He presents with centered integrity, generosity and compassion. The experiential pieces are deep, personal, respectful, and often life-changing. All of this is set in an atmosphere of warm hospitality, fun, caring, and good humor. I recommend the workshops to anyone who wants a well-rounded introduction to ACT as a practice."
