“I had the incredible opportunity to serve as one of the lead teachers at Give Chances Organization, and it has proven to be an immensely valuable experience witnessing each student receiving support in their education and volunteers gaining various leadership and teaching experiences. Collaborating with both students and volunteers has enabled me to cultivate various transferable skills, including effective communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving. I am excited to witness further academic and personal growth in more students.”

“This was a sweet experience with my grandchildren. The staff were so engaging with them from the moment we boarded the barge. They loved the different aspects of the experience - from learning about different ways plants can grow to the water creatures they are studying.”

“I joined August '22, dealing with lingering pain, spasms, and PTSD from ~20 years of Lyme disease that was misdiagnosed till 2016. I was sleeping 5-6 hours a night, depressed, not sure how I could survive another 6-12 months of harsh recovery. Therapy wasn't helping, and I needed relief from my stress and anxious thoughts. Long Island Meditation helped me find that.Even though I still had to deal with the same recovery process for my body, I was finally able to get rid of stressful thoughts and haunting images and feelings that seemed to follow me like a curse. I sleep 7-8 hours.Unlike other meditation methods that offer vague exercises and visualizations, Long Island Meditation teaches a regimented method that any student can follow and achieve enlightenment. It's a simple process that works naturally for everyone.Now my body is finally feeling healthier, and I am so grateful to be able to enjoy the improvements in my life moving forward, instead of being caught up in the past. Life seems happier, and even answers to big questions seem accessible. I've been studying different spiritual modalities for decades, and I'm the most grateful that this method came into my life.Sound too good to be true? One way to find out. Why not give it a try?”

“I am visiting NYC and staying on the upper east side. My friend was on a work call so I ventured out for a walk on this beautiful day. I walked down 87st and it led me here. I knew I was headed towards something great as I saw so many dogs walking in the same direction. The park was on the water and was such a refreshing scene from the city streets I just walked down. There were tons of people playing pickle ball. People chilling on park benches and just an overall good vibe. I didn't get pics of any dogs because I was petting them. :)”

“My husband and I went in to change licenses and the people working there could not have been nicer or more competent. My situation was complicated due to out of state exchange with social security proof different than NY's and also because of a 20 year old NY ticket I did not know about. They made calls for me and assisted me so that I had a clear understanding of what needed to be done to resolve the outstanding matters and also came up with a strategy to address the out of state issue. And we had a great time while we were there because they were all really warm and funny. Same experience when I returned the next week to finish the transaction after doing the things they identified for me. So much better than going to DMV!!!”

“I was walking down the steep sidewalk outside. I lost my footing and tumbled scraping my hand on the concrete and glass. I walked in with my hand all bloody. They were in the middle of Sunday services. But a nice lady in the back pointed me to the men's room where I was able to wash up and get back on my way. I put $2 in the bucket to show my appreciation. Thanks Nepperhan!”

“I was driving past and a beautiful pillow in the window caught my eye and I had to go in. This place is a treasure chest of great items for gifts for others and a few for myself! The woman that helped me the first time I stopped in was so pleasant and welcoming that I had to go back again! You will not be disappointed to make a point of stopping in.”
