My stay at HYA has been life changing. From the moment I arrived I was met with Love and Acceptance. I have had continuous support throughout my entire stay. I have learned and grown immensely since I arrived here. I have made so many amazing friends and created some wonderful memories with them. This community has aided me so much in learning more about intentional, sustainable communities, as well as aiding me greatly in my soul evolutionary journey. I highly recommend at least a 2 week stay here to anyone considering it. I am eternally grateful for this community and what they represent.

These people are so honest about their spirituality. They created a social environment of compassion, inclusivity, comradery, nonjudgement, & playfulness that encourages free authentic expression. Living in nature composed such harmony within & around me that I felt like a dry fish being engulfed by the purest waters. The teachings & practices helps me to identify with my most purposeful, powerful self & be free of my mind's fearful limitations. I loved song making & dance by campfire the most. Come here with an open heart, open mind, & open arms & it'll be reciprocated through & through!

HYA is a truly beautiful place with beautiful people. My month there was bursting with love, joy and peace. I felt so supported, accepted and included. The spiritual teachings and applications are transformative and healing. So grateful to know them and I plan to go back.

With the limited words of English, I don't believe there are words to describe the level of self improvement, sense of direction, joy, Love, discipline, meaningful connection to humans and nature alike, broader sense of awareness within and without. This Ashram will bring a sense of family connection to those seeking. Those who aren't will slowly be reminded due to their kindness, compassion, willingness to give, support and nurture. Before, I thought I knew everything about spirituality, and coming here I realize I didn't even scrape the surface. With tools given, I can face fear head on.
