What others are saying about Larry:

We here at The Hudson Library and Historical Society, in Hudson, Ohio, recently had the pleasure of hosting Larry Terkel for a meditation discussion and workshop, on July 19, 2011.

The response to Larry’s program was phenomenal. All 48 people in attendance were enraptured by Larry’s soothing voice, practical approa.ch and clear directions on the subject. Everyone remained in their seats until the conclusion of the presentation and meditation session, then swamped him with their enthusiastic comments and the desire to speak with him directly. He truly connected with his autidence.

“Very complete [presentation] for such a complicated subject!” was one of the comments written on the evaluation form the library had issued at the end of the program. Another audience member called it a “clear, straightforward presentation,” and another enjoyed “His knowledge, enthusiasm and friendliness.”

I would not hesitate to have Larry present another workshop here on meditation or any other topic he considers a specialty.
