    I've been looking for a spot to simply meditate in silence with others who share similar…read moreorientations and intentions for a few years. There's something about sharing that space with others that amplifies it's power (for me). I am globally familiar with Parmahansa Yogananda's teachings and resonate with what I know of them. As of the time of this review, the meditation hall is open for structured meditations Friday and Sunday evenings, and Sunday mornings. Website will have details. My first time on the grounds, I stopped by the welcome desk and was greeted by two friendly volunteers that shared information about both the founder and the Sunday morning process in general. They were warm and helpful, and I felt welcomed. There seems to be no distinct age, race, or gender that is predominant, though I have found fewer younger than older attendees. In the hall itself, there are two entrances facing west and one facing east which also serve as exits. I have found no particular designated route in or out. There is praying/singing/chanting at the beginning of the one hour Sunday morning meditation, and at the top of each hour for the extended evening meditations. Total time of silence in the one hour Sunday morning meditation is about 30 minutes. In my handful of visits, I have not felt like an outsider, or as if I was being judged or indoctrinated. I'm grateful to have found a silent safe haven of sorts in the middle of the city.

    I attended their Sunday 10 AM lecture this morning. It was very welcoming and relaxing. I am…read morefamiliar with Yogananda's teachings. They gave me a welcome packet that had several free books and a schedule of the events. I enjoyed the meditation and the chanting. It was pretty much what I expected. There were a diverse group of ages and races there. Grounds were very well maintained and it would be nice to just go there to meditate and be outdoors. I would probably go there more often if it was closer to my house.

    If I told them I was a Reverand I'm pretty sure I would get helped quicker. The woman I had spoke…read moreto went to lunch. I was a little disappointed that I had to wait over an hour to get 3 bags for a member. A minister came in a hour after me and was greeted with the up most helpe and joy. When I asked for assistance I was ignored and told to wait longer. To my understanding members have been held to be totally reliant on the organization although the supports are good but make sure you are providing independence and encouraging it. I get there is an event coming up but still customer service is important and making sure potential vendors are provided with communication and respect. Sincerely Rev Cooper

    I'm here giving a review on behalf of a sister in Christ who was failed by the system and is…read moregetting nothing better from what she's relaying to me. She grew up in homeless shelters and group homes from all over Arizona since she was about 7 years old. Her mental health was incredibly damaged and she was unable to finish school due to learning disabilities. From being forced to one home to the next and never receiving even an ounce of love and affection the way Christ would to the point where she landed in what I believe was a cult. This is where I met her. We got out together and began to seek Christ further together and she has been growing slowly and understanding more. She struggles sometimes and makes mistakes and doesn't understand sometimes. But in the time of her being at the dream center--she's worsened. Her faith has decreased and her mental health has as well. I've also discovered that some donations are meant to go to the women there but she has yet to receive anything or any help at all with finding work, re-applying for school, relearning basic life skills, and recovering in full. It became bad when she felt the need to sneak her phone back to reach me rather than use the phones so she can open up--to which, of course, I corrected her one as her sister in Christ. It's ever right to do things like that no matter the circumstance. But doing that led to her being placed outside in the dark alone with her phone on low battery and strange men passing by and making her uncomfortable for nearly 2 hours. When asked if she could come back inside and give back her phone so she can go to bed and feel safer, she was told to wait out there until 7 am. While outside, she was tempted to wander off alone away from the center even with the men giving her creepy looks and peeking around corners at her. The staff stood by and looked out at her and continued to talk as she stood at the door until she knocked to be met with another "7 am." This is what began to boil my blood. I hadn't heard of the place before but when I looked it up I was shocked to find that they're centered around rescuing women off the streets and preventing trafficking and providing care for those they welcome in. But to hear that they willingly put out a struggling 18-year-old with depression and a dwindling faith as a Christ-centered community and home for young women--it strikes a different cord. Upon getting there, I found out that she discovered some...odd conditions. Such as bugs and mold. But none of that truly matters because it's a roof over her head and clothes on her back as well as food for your belly. And I encourage her to be grateful for the things that God places in front of us. But it's hard to encourage her if she cant call me even from the phones there due to restrictions let alone be able to feel confident that she is in good Christ-loving hands. I just continue to pray that God guides her steps and places a hedge of protection over her. I may only have one side of things but the things I'm hearing don't settle well in my stomach or my heart...I pray that those in the center are able to express more compassion towards the people they bring in. Especially young women who don't have many people to depend on outside of Christ...God will provide. God bless you and I hope that things improve with this place. Im still gonna continue to raise money for her to get her back on track, God willing.
