Tushita Kadampa Buddhist Center helps you take a second to get back what is rightfully yours- some peace. They are small in size but big on passion. The Center has a calming atmosphere as soon as you walk in, and the staff there is no different. They hold mala bead workshops about every 6 months and they are a great way to learn more, practice patience, and bond with family and friends. Their meditation classes are settling for the busy mind, and healthy for the burdened soul.

All while figuring out how to improve my journey in life. I really put full trust in her, which I haven't experienced before, as she's open minded while explaining the mechanisms behind her reasoning which makes it click in my brain. She's even helped me realize how my type 1 diabetes can be a factor in my emotional daily thinking and I can give her the new topics I've learned and we can navigate how that plays out in day to day life. Amongst other things but this review is to thank her for everything she's done for me and in return my relationships!

Interested in learning more about meditation or mindfulness practices? This is the class for you!…read more I have taken the Beginner's class twice; generally a significant discount is offered when you take the class again. I learned so much about myself and how my reactions can accelerate or diffuse a situation. Although meditation is practiced there is quite a bit of mindfulness work that is done; this helped me tremendously with day-to-day scenarios. When the advanced class was offered I took that as well. I highly recommend taking a class with Audrey! You may attend in person or via zoom link once a week for 10 weeks. Not only will you learn about meditation, but also skills for navigating life's ups and downs. It is the perfect gift to give yourself. The gift of mental wellness.

As Audrey writes on her website, "Our bodies are not 20 years old and made of rubber. We care, empathize and spend the time teaching, not simply demonstrate from the front while students follow along and hope they get it right." Quickly, I realized that THIS yoga practice was helping me feel great, age well and maintain flexibility --not to mention providing me with a beloved community filled with friends I will keep for the rest of my life. Two months ago, I moved to Indiana. After the physicality of packing/loading/etc, I went to see an Orthopedic doc in Fort Wayne, IN, about some soreness in my shoulder. X-rays were taken and when the doctor entered, he asked me to raise my arms straight up as high as I was able. When I did, he asked me if I understood what was going on with my shoulder...? I did not. "You have severe osteoarthritis and a very large bone spur right here.." he pointed at the xray. Then he said, "There's no way you should be able to extend your arm like that. What have you been doing?" I described my 4+yrs of yoga with Audrey and Karen. He looked at me and said, "Yoga is SALVATION!! Good for you!!" Until that moment, I knew what Cam-Somis Yoga had done for me -- but until then, no MD anywhere - let alone here in the midwest -- had so clearly advocated for me to maintain a regular yoga practice exactly like what I had! Thankfully, this doctor also pointed me to a quality studio here ). If you're reading this and you're geographically able to join this studio, DO IT! You older wiser future self will thank you again and again!

Here I am rolling into class like, "Heh, only 6 credits ," thinking I'm a financial genius, while behind the scenes the studio and the blonde assassin owner are basically getting paid in exposure, incense and dryer lint. I wasn't hacking the system--I was the system. Those credits were straight-up Chuck E. Cheese tokens: "Congrats, you survived heated sculpt, here's 10 tickets and a rubber spider. Also, the studio made 37 cents." Now that I know what's actually going on, I'm fully on Team Blonde Assassin. If anyone's going to roast my form, vaporize my quads, and trigger an emotional breakthrough in savasana, they deserves real money, not a handful of digital coupons.

I felt like I could truly be myself. Her support helped me to let go of more than a few bad habits, one of which I truly didn't think I'd ever let go. She taught me meditations, healing recipes, and "tapping"--gifts that will keep on giving throughout my lifetime!!! Spend the money! Work with Keya! Your life will be transformed!

As a therapist myself, I was in search of a professional to help me see the things I couldn't see for myself. A professional to ask the "appropriate" questions to surface the real issues that I had longed to release. I also desired to work with someone balanced - meaning not just strictly scientific in their approach but spiritual as well. I was only able to see Aileen for a brief 2 months or so, but as my intention was set to "be well", and Aileen understanding the short duration we would have together she provided the necessary work for me to release attachments to the past, fears and also helped me to find my voice, step up and step out into the world to fulfill my purpose in life. I appreciate Aileen for the quality of work she provided for me and the variety of techniques she used. It wasn't always just sitting on the couch and talking but there was interactive work involved. I appreciate having something to take home and work on from one session to the next and Aileen offered a variety of practices, meditations, visualizations and other suggestions that I could pick and choose from... or not, if I so chose. I recommend her services to anyone seeking an understanding and effective therapist. One who holds a space of love, openness, and yet directive. I also encourage anyone to join her Meditation Monday class as I also found new insights into freeing my "Self", new friends and community there as well. Aileen is a 10+ and I am forever grateful for the freedom I experience in the present. Thank you, Aileen Nealie :) Cheers, Howard

She took the time to get to know me and built a therapeutic and ETHICAL relationship based on trust and respect. Before becoming Aileen's patient, I was seeing a very dysfunctional and abusive therapist and was extremely anxious, depressed, and lost due to huge boundaries violations. At the very first session I felt a real connection with her. She was so genuine and I felt that she really cared about me. She did not judge the mess my life was in, but rather gave wonderful perspective to me about the choices I was making. Aileen, thank you for being such an important part of my life. Thank you for developing a therapeutically healthy and ethical relationship with me. You are truly healing one soul at a time! Love, S.

My family and I have been coming here since the temple was relocated from the Oxnard location in 2003. The current temple is now located in the Saticoy area (down the road from Saticoy Elementary School). Though An Lac primarily serves the Vietnamese Buddhist community, all are welcome to join in its festivities. I was very happy when they had brought in the Sri Lankan Theravedan monk, Venerable Sutadhara, to run the Buddhist center and unify the Sri Lankan Buddhist community in the Ventura area. Ven. Sutadhara is fluent in English as he was the former senior lecturer in Lingustics at the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka. As an American born Sri Lankan, I appreciate the fact that he provides accurate translation from Pali to English so we can better understand our religious affiliation. The newly made meditation garden is just beautiful! Complete with multiple Buddha statues, ponds, and fountains, it is the perfect place to meditate and enjoy the outdoors in peace. The temple also provides meditation, zen, and yoga classes to further your practice. I highly recommend coming here! It is a wonderful place, Buddhist or not!
