Review for Infinity Foundation, Highland Park, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with Infinity Foundation since I attended Jon Kabat-Zinn's wonderful Mother's Day workshop in 2005. Working for and being involved with Infinity is an important part of my life - Infinify is one of my major sanghas. I've seen so many gifted authors and teachers, including Lama Surya Das, Sharon Salzberg, Dannion Brinkley, and Byron Katie. Infinity is the only spiritual education center in this part of Illinois and I'm so grateful for it and for the wonderful people I work with there. Nancy Marder's ability to walk her talk and work fearlessly towards her vision continues to inspire me.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I share Nancy Marder's wish that Infinity will grow to become a full-time center where the community can meet and share on a regular basis.
