  • "This retreat changed us. It brought insight, healing, and real partnership energy into our lives."

    “Our retreat with Amy Joy and Larry at Upaya touched us in a way we did not expect. We have been to many retreats, but this one reached deeper. It felt like something opened in us.

    Amy Joy gave us a true magic toolbox. Not just ideas. Tools we could feel in our bodies. Tools that stayed with us when real life showed up again. We have used them often since returning home, and they continue to bring us back to clarity, calm, and connection.

    Larry’s teachings on Genetic Energetics shifted our relationship instantly. We saw each other with new eyes. We understood why we work the way we do and how our differences actually fit together. After twenty years together, that was a powerful experience. It brought a softness and a closeness we did not know we were missing.

    This retreat changed us. It brought insight, healing, and real partnership energy into our lives.

    We are grateful for Amy and Larry and recommend this experience with our whole hearts.”
    – Amy & Kelsey Lockhart

  • "If you have the chance to experience this work, take it. Your future self will thank you.”

    “This is the education we should all receive, no age or ability exempt! Amy shares simple yet profoundly transformative truths about human behaviour, giving us the opportunity to truly know ourselves, and in turn, to do and be better.

    Perhaps what I loved most was how practical the teachings are. Nothing is abstract or out of reach. Everything can be applied directly to everyday life.

    This retreat was life-changing for me. I left feeling clearer, lighter, more capable, and more connected to my own inner wisdom. I felt peace and happiness. Joy is our birthright and ours for the claiming!

    Amy creates a space where growth feels safe, supported, and so very exciting. She teaches with such heart, humor, and grounded clarity that you can’t help but evolve in her presence!

    If you have the chance to experience this work, take it. Your future self will thank you.”

I got in touch with my joy, which I hadn't felt in months and months. I felt so loved by all, and I am so grateful for this experience!! So grateful to life, to the universe and Amy for walking the talk and walking the path to show us!!

  • "Nothing around me has changed but now I can see things so clearly."

    I feel like my whole life I was told I had 20/20 vision, and suddenly someone prescribed me a pair of glasses that I never knew I needed and I realized my vision was VERY blurred. Nothing around me has changed but now I can see things so clearly.

    Alina Abadiano, Director Of Operations

  • "I walked away feeling inspired, informed, and genuinely transformed. "

    “Larry is a true embodiment of lived wisdom. His workshop on Genetic Energetics was such a powerful transmission. He shared openly from his heart, weaving together his life story, his tantra path, and the experiences that shaped him into the teacher he is today.

    What struck me most was the humanity behind his expertise. His passion, his grounded presence, and his ability to articulate the dynamics of relationships and compatibility with such clarity is extraordinary.

    He is a fountain of wisdom, endlessly knowledgeable, deeply intuitive, and profoundly generous with his insights. I walked away feeling inspired, informed, and genuinely transformed. He sparked deep curiosity and passion within me, and so many codes of remembrance were reawakened.

    To learn from Larry is to receive the kind of guidance that stays with you long after the workshop ends. I cannot recommend him enough.”
    – Oriana Fitzgerald
