Testimonials

Those who have joined Av Neryah’s in-person retreats often describe them as deeply transformative, life-changing encounters with truth, love, presence, freedom, and the unexpected joy of finding a genuine nondual family. Here are some of their reflections:

The most precious and important week of my life. Beyond all words, beyond all descriptions, beyond what we call "experiences." The space held by Av and Avah was a space of deep realization and luminous ascension. So much love, so much laughter, so much kindness, so much wisdom, so much humility, so much clarity, so much oneness. And yet I miss none of it— because it continues to blossom and unfold deep within my heart. Namaste 🙏

I feel truly blessed to have been in Av's and his family's presence for 7 days in a row! I had waited so long to meet him in person and it seemed surreal to be there with him. Even more so that he was so approachable, loving, kind & compassionate with each and every one of us. Frankly, it was the best week of my life.

Participating in the retreat was for me the perfect fuel to my nonduality journey. Meeting Av and his family in person, as well as so many likeminded people, and firsthand witnessing the magic of the transmissions in myself and others, my motivation soared even higher and now I am all in. The setting was amazing as well. Much love.

My heart remains in deep gratitude for being able to be at the in-person Retreat in Portugal. It was, and continues, to be the answer to a prayer to study with an enlightened master. The inductions and shepherding into the realms of ever deepening states of consciousness that you were able to navigate and hold, for us all, is a brilliant star that shines clear and consummate. Each and everyday we have been grateful for the gift, and reflect with astonishment, that we did travel to Portugal to meet our Teacher.

We were bathed in acceptance, wisdom, truth and love. How can one fall in love with [a whole group of] strangers in a week? When a Liberated Being shows that nothing and nobody is outside of love.

Lara A.
Maryland, USA

The retreat was exceptional. Av is a truly living embodiment of a non-dual teacher. Not only are his explanations on point, but his transmissions are clearly feelable. He makes meditation a graspable experience. Although being an established form of pure awareness Av is still accessible to all the participants. He is not willing to play the old game of a guru but puts in all his effort in helping others in the process of waking up and realising who you are beyond your identity. The group and retreat place were also one of a kind. So I highly recommend his teachings if you want to take the road to liberation.

Kai S.

The retreat was beyond words. The meditations and the satsangs brought me to a much deeper level of I am. The awe and wonder is still with me and getting stronger each day. Av and his family are truly a blessing to me. These words I write do not and can not describe the love I received and shared. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful to scatter the seeds of a new consciousness that will change the world. Namaste 🙏

I feel very blessed that I could be a part of this retreat and to plunge into the depths of our Being, together. I'm deeply touched by Av's presence, authenticity, clarity, and humility. His family being there as well made it even more special.

Jeroen S.
Indiana, USA

It is not only a retreat, but the most glorious entrance - an entrance into your true being, in the reflection of Beauty manifest, the Divine Mirror of Av, where Beauty upon Beauty reflects, Love/God/Goddess bless, there are no words but they can attempt, to whisper the best kept secret of your very own soul - the whisper for the Ultimate - the freedom you know deep down is yours to have, so maybe take it, and maybe start with a retreat that never ends.

Sal P.
Indiana, USA

I feel very lucky to have been able to attend the retreat. It felt like bathing in a pool of love. It was great to see Av's perfect demeanor and compassion, as well as other attendees' breakthroughs through several non-dual stages.

Leandro L.
Spain

It was a privilege to be part of this retreat which was so thoughtfully put together. That which needed to be expressed in words was expressed in words. That which needed silence was expressed in silence. Thank you.

Jane S.
UK

I am immensely grateful to Grace for this ride. This body-mind always suspected that it is not from here... only to discover that it is from nowhere at all. Light with no beginning or end... A powerful Silence was the faithful companion of beautiful tears and joyful laughter. The Absolute dissolves us all and yet we appear to be this magnificent Presence. I saw, felt and lived at our true HOME in everybody's eyes.

Cristina P.
Portugal

The words in last chapter of Av's Liberation Gita about the sacred and the ordinary being seen as one took flesh and blood through the bread and croissants that were shared during this Gathering in Truth. Eternal gratitude.

Anthony C.
France

The easy flow of presence, loving community and luminous Grace filled this retreat. Heavenly meals, deep contemplation, harmonious schedules, play, laughter, wonder allowed for integration, activity, stillness, beingness, and growth. One of the deepest gifts was the feeling of being a part of a whole Family because the group was a full range of ages, genders, nationalities, understandings and relationships. This unique and special retreat is the harmony of the Now and Forever.

Alice L.
Texas, USA

I'm so grateful for this experience. Av and his beautiful family are a precious gift in this world. They show us by example in their humble way of teaching what is already deeply engrained in us. During the retreat I felt held by the unconditional love of the group as ONE being so that I was able to let go and fully surrender. I had an out of body experience in Nirvana. My personhood completely dissolved. There was no mind and no body. Av, Avah and the group held me safely and guided me back so that I can embody I AM on this earth. I will always remember that this retreat truly brought me back to life.

Kerstin S.
Germany

Although I tend to approach spirituality from a more philosophical angle, this retreat gave me a first-hand sense that awakening is something real and tangible. Thank you so much for the wonderful retreat. I really enjoyed the serenity and quiet, and I'm very grateful to have met so many lovely people—some of whom I hope will become friends for life.

Martin B.
Germany

I'm still basking in the essence of the I am. The out flowing and in flowing of love was incredible. I've never experienced anything like that. The teaching by Av resonated on a cellular level. My heart continues to melt. It was a joy talking, watching and sharing with all participants. Thank you Av and his family for your care and kindness. Words don't express the beauty of being present.

Marcy D.
New Hampshire, USA

The retreat has deeply touched my heart. Experiencing Av's and his family's presence was a blessing, an encounter with unconditional love and Truth. The diverse community felt like a big family, and the safety created in the shared space allowed for deep and vulnerable experiences to emerge. While words can't really do this experience justice, I can highly recommend any event with Av, be it a retreat, online satsang, etc., to every sincere Truth seeker. It was a week I will never forget, and its fragrance carries on with me into everyday life.

I am very grateful for the clarity and love that Av brings to these gatherings. Thank you for offering such a beautiful space for the Self to recognize itself.

Lilla B.

It was the most powerful transmission experience I have ever experienced so far. Av is truly a rare master in our modern time. He is full of love and grace. His wisdom and presence power is as deep as the ocean. However, he meets genuinely everyone at where he/she is.

Av’s presence and words opened and nourished the flame in my heart.

Daniel F.

I can honestly say that Av’s retreat was superior to anything I have ever experienced. For anyone thinking about attending the next satsang, I would highly recommend that you do.

Rob C.
USA

Av’s presence and direct guidance felt like a beacon of light with deeper clarity and depth. Thank you with my heart. In every word Av spoke, I felt a living presence and a simplicity filled with compassion and truth. Usually I remain silent, the voiceless voice that I call it. Yet during the retreat I felt an inner call to speak. With great presence Av cut through the noise of the mind and gently pointed me back to what has always been here, the home I never truly left, my own true being. Av’s presence, compassion, and guidance are testament of his wisdom, clarity, and unity.

Parvaneh A.
USA

It was moving to see people from all over the world, of all ages, come together to contemplate Being with Av. What touched my heart most was observing how Av interacted with each student, expressing Love, Wisdom, Understanding, Equanimity, and his total willingness and interest in helping each student as much as possible, even going beyond the scheduled time. Truly wonderful. I can't wait to participate in other wonderful occasions with Av.

Alex S.
Italy

In many ways, I came seeking answers, but found that the one seeking the answers was an illusion. It completely dissolved any remaining sense of separation that I came in with, and revealed a profound innate unity, stillness and peace. Av provided a safe space to rest in pure awareness. His loving, peaceful presence permeated through everything. The silence, guided contemplation, and community provided a beautifully authentic experience.

Matt M.
USA

To witness Av’s beingness weaving into each moment was a delightful symphony of kindness. No matter the question his words met every being exactly where LOVE hangs out, nowhere and everywhere.

Tayama

Just listening to you and seeing your face brought me a sense of bliss, satisfaction, and happiness.

Tomiko S.

A warm-hearted, transformative experience!

Bjorn
Finland

I did nothing, wanted nothing, expected nothing—and then, for the first time in my life, I experienced the grace of pure being. I was like the salt man who finally found his way to the sea and dissolved. I knew that I couldn't lose this state, because it had always been there and always will be.

Without the space that you, your team, and all the other wonderful beings in this luminous circle have created, this would not have happened. After years of searching, after the recurring pursuit of peak experiences, after trying various methods and techniques, I am now letting go of all that. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

Thorsten W.
Germany

Av is such a breath of fresh, mountain air in a world of teachers full of ego and confusion. Av’s authenticity radiates when he speaks. His inner smile brings out my inner smile.

Adina B.
Greece

To be in the presence of such Presence was amazing. Everything taught and discussed resonated with me. Av’s love overflowed, a true Master and Teacher.

I came with only one question there, but it burnt along with the questioner.

Av Neryah's silent at home retreat was an awe-inspiring experience highlighting Av’s extraordinary presence echoed in the wisdom and insight he imparted. Gratitude abounds.

Av Neryah’s books have garnered praise and acclaim from readers all over the world, with thousands of glowing reviews. Here’s some feedback received throughout the years:

This book is unlike anything else I've ever read in four decades of spiritual, philosophical, and even non-duality reading. A true work of literary art.

Krissy R.
USA

The book is by someone who has definitely achieved the highest in terms of divinity. Reading the book itself for 30 minutes can lead to high energy experiences. Gratitude to the author for sharing his experience.

Rajeev
India

Trying to avoid my own predilection, biases, and subjectivity, I have to give this book and the series which come from the same author, my absolute highest recommendation. 50+ years of TM and 20+ years of advanced practice are all of a sudden so nicely enhanced and enlivened by the insight and broadly, yet detailed, gems shared by this all to humble author. The results from my very short exposure to the treasures shared in this series exceed my ability to describe them.

Wes
USA

Reading this book is more than a physical and intellectual activity. Its words are mere signposts pointing toward the ultimate. If you allow yourself to be open, reading this book is a deep meditation, allowing oneself to soften and see/sense/feel the beyond, and spy a hint of the fragrance that exists beyond experience and existence. A beautiful gem of truth that I am thankful to have encountered.

Jing H.
USA

Highest level. Nothing more is possible.

S.L.
Germany

A concise transmission of the highest teachings of nondual wisdom presented in clear, modern language.

K.R.
USA

This is a great book. One feels in every sentence, that the author has achieved that state that the mind cannot grasp, and that is called enlightenment by some. At the first reading, about 2 years ago, it was almost too much for me. At the second reading, I found it very valuable. Highly recommended!

Rainer G.
Germany

For me this book will be my companion for the rest of my life. It is a book full of love and optimism.

Karl D.
UK

It is evident the author knows what he is talking about. Thanks for sharing this powerful knowledge.

John A.

Thank you for these amazing books you've written. I'm so grateful that I found them, the value written in these books are absolutely amazing considering what yogis many years ago had to go through to get such knowledge.

Patrik

I have come across your work and I am glued to it as this is the most amazing spiritual literature I have read.

J.M.

This is a work that is filled with light and so to drink it in by simply reading will bloom inside dissolving the ego to awaken consciousness.

K.

What an AMAZING book! Savored it in one sitting, but love returning to it, to be sliced into smithereens!!! This powerful little book proves how words can be the sharpest of swords. Slicing effortlessly, right through self/ego identification. For those of you who are more Spiritually Mature, you will be BEYOND grateful for the exquisite sharpness of the swords contained in this book.

O.T.

A master work on self transcendence.

Steven T.
USA

I must admit that in all of the spiritual literature that I've read over the past 3+ decades, I'm not used to reading books written by spiritual masters who actually understood what they did to achieve enlightenment. I'm not used to them delineating steps and specific processes along the way in useful embodied terms that I could understand.

E.R.
USA

Have found this book to be a brilliant “unable to put it down” kind of book. Every page for me has been a confirmation. Excellent.

Daisy L.
USA

This is the greatest book I have ever read in my search for spirituality. It is definitely going to be the bible for me. I love it.

One can make notes and start his new journey... this book is just like a guru, guiding nicely. It’s amazing that the author is revealing this knowledge to us. God bless you.

This book is a real gem. There are some books where you just connect through the author's energy imprint and this is one of those books/authors.

Cox

I have read a lot of these kinds of books, best of the best in my opinion. The whole series is a treasure trove. Excellent.
