As someone who is cautious about where I seek healing, I could sense that I was in the presence of a truly gifted individual. It became clear very quickly that Luisa embodies a genuine intention to heal and uplift others. During our session, Luisa took the time to listen to me without judgment, creating a safe environment where I could express the challenges I've been facing. The warmth and compassion they exuded were palpable, and it allowed me to let go of the weight I had been carrying. As the session began, I was guided through a series of grounding exercises and gentle meditations that opened a pathway to my inner self. Each moment felt like a revelation, as Luisa skillfully tuned into my energy. With intuition and expertise, they unraveled layers of emotional blockages that I had not even realized were holding me back. By the end of our time together, I felt a profound shift within me--a lifting of burdens that I thought I would carry forever. Luisa. not only facilitated a Mary Magdalene healing experience but also imparted wisdom on how to maintain balance in my life moving forward. I left with knowledge and wisdom tailored specifically for me, empowering me to continue my journey towards my highest vibration. What struck me most was the clarity and purpose that Luisa provided: an understanding that healing is not just about addressing symptoms, but about reconnecting with one's true essence. In just one session, I experienced transformation that resonated deeply, reminding me of the strength and light within myself. If you are seeking a healer who works from the heart with pure intentions, I wholeheartedly recommend Luisa. They possess a rare gift that brings liberation and hope and are dedicated to guiding you toward your authentic self.

It really helped regulate my nervous system And I very much appreciated. Franz and the way he helped guide beginners. What I did not appreciate was a woman who was also a beginner and craved support on an almost competitive level. She was very much attended to and a bit of a trauma dumper. I left for a while because of her, she just kept showing up in my space, but that was my choice to leave. Fast forward to the pandemic I did try to rejoin online and I was met with that same woman who I did try to extend an Olive branch to, since she was struggling and kept "showing up". She was the same trauma dumper, yet didn't remember me. But something that came to light is that I was not allowed to join the book group that she had created. As I got better, I thought about going back in spite of this woman, but then I saw that she is part of faculty Ultimately I decided that a group that would support someone with that behavior, in the way that they did is not the right group for me. I probably should have and I thought about contacting leaders in this group, but at that time, my nervous system was not in a place to defend myself and it's somehow felt small and petty. Better to let her have her way. However, six years later, I see that this is not the Buddhist way, which is the way they follow. I was not shown loving kindness in a time when I really needed it.

However, when I recently reached out for support, I was told there was no record of my instruction or payment in the TM system. This lack of accountability was deeply concerning. A global organization of this size should maintain accurate records of its students and protect them from being lost in the process. Instead, I was told that what I experienced "had nothing to do with TM," despite it taking place at their center.

Hesitated writing this review for a long time but feel it's important others know. Any organization so focused on money while also claiming to be about dropping beliefs, opening up, sharing love with the world, etc might want to be more transparent and mindful themselves. The meditation is mediocre at best if you've had any experience at all. If you haven't, a couple YouTube videos will provide as much guidance and more. Plus it's free! Their weekly "checks" are NOT a meditation group. They are a constant repeat of the same material. Not worth it.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.
