The classes are always interesting; but more than that I'm always so impressed by the people attending the classes! Every time I've been there thus far, I'd say the people that go are hardcore meditators for the most part. No challenges, discussions, egoic banter, attention seeking, or shallowness... everyone goes, listens, stays still and quiet during the meditations (no one falls asleep either! Or if they have, they're awfully quiet about it), and then leaves. It's... amazing. Really.

Different teachings are appropriate to different people, and there's a place in the world and a right audience for those teachings that impart a few drops of the Buddha's message in a solution of colorful and dramatic Asian cultural beliefs and New Age mysticism. As long as those few drops of the Buddha's teaching remain in the solution, it has the potential to help some people progress along the Buddhist path, and if what you hear and experience at the Dipamkara Center resonates with you, then it's probably the right teaching for where you're at right now. Especially so if you're not looking specifically for the Buddha, but are just seeking some peace and calm and help and comfort from wherever it may come. I just want those who do seek a purer, more undiluted view of the Buddha's teaching - which is definitely not comfortable for everybody - to understand that it is available elsewhere (on and off Long Island), and to continue their search. I'm not giving five stars here just because Yelp describes five stars as meaning, "as good as it gets", and, just as, for some people, Dipamkara is the absolute perfect thing, so for others there is better than Dipamkara to be had. *bow*

I had my training with Bill, but had an online review with Dierdre who was lovely and gave a very good review class. I can believe that the communication from the main TM.org may be a bit weak since I did experience some confusing communication about the time for training which was different from the branch's time. That was not the fault of the Huntington TM or of Bill. I still give it a 5-STAR review because the training was wonderful. I personally prefer in-person training now that COVID is over, so that the Hybrid choice was never of interest to me. The choice was clearly delineated in the website. I am glad I read that poor review so that I could put in my two cents. I'm hoping this helps others considering attending the training, and I hope the previous review by someone else hasn't deterred anyone from gaining a transformative type of meditation that could have helped them.

They offered an intro to TriYoga, which I had never tried (no pun intended) before so I hopped right on that. The class was taught by a very clear and compassionate teacher and I walked away with a better understanding of what this style of yoga was about. It is unlike any kind I've tried before and if I had to describe how it made me feel I'd say it's still work but you leave feeling very relaxed. Moreso than other types I've tried. I'm eager to take another class. They also offer a host of wholistic life services in addition to yoga such as nutrition, acupuncture, life coaching, and even psychotherapy. I can see them building a strong community of folks in the area and I recommend checking them out. The schedule is on the website. I, myself, can't wait to return. I removed one star because I haven't experienced everything they have to offer so I can't comment on it and also for commuters like myself a lot of the schedule is unfortunately unavailable to me, but as they're just getting started and things will almost certainly evolve with the community I can see this getting updated to a 5 star place once I've experienced more.

I wasn't really sure about meditation in general. In my life I had many negative experiences with religion and other meditations. I felt some changes here and there but mostly just temporary. I didn't feel changes in the first month here but I came almost everyday online. I did feel really comfortable at the center and online so I kept trying. I did feel frustrated but the meditation guides kept encouraging me. My problem was that I couldn't recall my mind very well. But slowly the memories started coming back. As I threw them away, I started to feel lighter and more calm outside of meditation in daily life and my sleep improved. So far I give it 5 stars because it has helped me more than I thought. I am curious about what other changes will happen. Looking forward to working on myself more.

I know exactly what to say about Wild by Nature, but I must admit I'm conflicted about how many…read morestars to rate it. Others have said this before me and they are spot-on because it's the simplest way to quickly describe the place to someone who hasn't yet been - Wild By Nature is like a mini, local Whole Foods. By local I mean it's located nearby, not that they prioritize local produce and products, though they do have them, of course. And mini, not as in micro-mini, but definitely smaller than WF and smaller than other local supermarkets. But they do carry everything you need to support a healthy lifestyle from fresh and frozen produce to cheeses, to meats, baked goods, packaged goods, vitamins and supplements, greener household cleaning, and specialty diet fare. Oh, and beer. Vegetarians and vegans, gluten free folks, keto practitioners, macro lovers, and everyone in between ... just about everyone will find what they need here. Unless, I guess, you're primarily looking for frozen dinners from giant mall food chains. Then you may be kind of out of luck. Even I can shop here. I'm a mostly-plant-based pescatarian who tries to shop zero/low waste and package-free as much as possible. This is the only place I know of near Huntington that has a bulk section for grains, beans, and flours, and even coffee. I can even get most produce (yup, even mushrooms!) free of packaging which should be an easier thing to find in general, but it's not. You'd think I would be shouting to the heavens THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO SHOP! But I do have to admit I balk at the prices - specifically for the produce. Packaged goods, sure you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Larger stores have bigger buying power. That's no secret. But as someone who mainly goes for produce, I don't shop here every week. When I need to hit the bulk section, I do my entire list here, veggies and all and it's all good. Wild By Nature, you'd get me through the door weekly if you offered even a small section of "ugly veggies", especially local ones, at lower prices. Just a thought. I've yet to visit the deli counter or the juice bar, and I've never attended any of their classes, but they're there if you're interested. That and prices aside, I am happy they're in town and I'd be sad if they weren't. So there's that.
