As a beginner to the study of meditation, I found Nick’s method of mindfulness meditation to be a perfect introduction. His teaching guided the class in their ability to focus, and the practice sessions were wonderful. It became easier to disregard distractions and join in the peaceful atmosphere of the class. I would recommend Nick Kranz’s classes to anyone interested in stress management and meditation.

I am in Nick’s Sangha and I have known Nick for I think 5 years now. I was drawn to Nick immediately. He has always demonstrated an amazing ability to be both compassionate and understanding and also knowledgeable. His wisdom is remarkable to me. I feel that every time I have a chance to hear him speak and give a dharma talk and be able to converse with him is a life changing moment for me. I look so forward to it.

"Nick is an incredible person. He brings joy and insight to teaching the practice of meditation that our world desperately needs. I highly recommend engaging with Nick, especially his teachings on Social Meditation."
"Nick has a gift for teaching meditation in a delightful, supportive and engaging way. "
I’ve been working with Nick as my meditation instructor for about 5-6 years. His patience and gentleness, his commitment to the Dharma, to what is real, and to the great compassion that arises out of that, might only be surpassed by his commitment to his students, to guiding and supporting their journey - my journey - as students, as practitioners, as human beings. It has been beyond inspiring and empowering for me. It continues to increase my confidence in myself as a student, as a practitioner, as a human being, and is giving me a capacity to be with myself and my experience, no matter what it is, with that same gentleness and patience that Nick brings to his own practice and to working with his students. I’m just so grateful.

Three years ago, I realized that though I'd read many Buddhist books, I didn’t understand a lot of it, So I started looking for an online teacher. I’d seen many other teachers on various sites, but I chose Nick not only because of his vast knowledge and understanding of the Dharma, as well as his tender heart, but because he laughed a lot and I take things so seriously. With Nick it doesn’t feel as though he’s leading me on the path but that we’re walking side by side. Studying with Nick is an absolute joy and worth every penny I pay!

I have been studying meditation for the last three years and Nick has been one of the best teachers that I have met. His teaching style is down to earth, easy to access, yet deeply reflective. Nick combines his deep understanding of meditation with patience and humor to make it fun, educational and helpful for everyone in his class.

So working with Nick Kranz has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. I first started working with Nick personally when I was going through one of the most difficult and painful challenges in my life and Nick was able to meet me with such compassion and such incredible wisdom. The thing that always blows my mind working with Nick is that he so understands the Dharma that he is able to share it with me in a way that makes so much sense. There is an experience of his complete acceptance, and yet this gentle working with me to help me explore new ways of seeing things and new practices, that help me to become even more of who I really am.
