JoAnn Paolantonio ..."I've been to many meditation classes, but no one can bring me "home" quite like Sumner.", Joel Carroll ..."I was searching for someone who could balance successfully the business world and spiritual principles. I discovered my mentor in Sumner Davenport.", Belinda Pillar ...Meditators run the gamut from hard-core Zen Buddhists who sit for hours striving for oneness with the universe, to more creative non demoninationalists/motivationalists who mix meditation with talk of angels, "spirit guides" and other New Age concepts. Davenport is one of the latter. " James Ricci, Times Staff Writer ..."Your meditation class has enriched my life. Not only do I think more clearly afterwards, but I feel a sense of well being that I don't feel when I don't come to a class." Kalie Meyers
