Welcome
Welcome to Anahata Education Center!
Anahata, named after the Sanskrit word for the Heart Chakra, is an education and retreat center located in the rural community of Floyd, Virginia. We participate in the wonderful community of Floyd and provide a sacred space for those who seek to enrich their lives through meditative and spiritual practices.
2026 has been a time of rest and recuperation, as we sit with the loss of our beloved Luke, the founder and owner of Anahata, last December. It’s been quieter around here without him, but we seek to honor his presence and spiritual guidance as we consider our vision for Anahata in the coming years.
For now, we continue to host regular retreats and community events at the Celebration Center (our main building), and anyone who rents one of our studio apartments through AirBnB is welcome to explore our 47 acres of pristine wilderness, including a riverfront with access to Little River (a tributary of the Missouri River).
We would like to invite individuals and couples who are interested in helping out at the center to contact Ashera, the current owner. We have a small team who help with the upkeep of the land and retreat center, and would love to invite you to participate in our community, whether you’d like to have a short visit or aim to find a permanent place of belonging. You can learn more on our Community page.
Blessings be upon you!
We welcome visitors, guests and residents to grow and thrive alongside one another in love.
We host different types of retreats, and would love to help you curate your own experience with a private (or small group of your choosing) Chrysalis Retreat.

“From a retreat perspective, it not only offered the solace of meditation and yoga and healthful, nourishing foods, but also the immense comfort of a loving community. It was unlike any retreat experience I could have had elsewhere. It’s rare to find the opportunity for self-reflection and solitude alongside the enveloping warmth of such a special community. It healed me in so many ways and on so many levels.”
~ Marie, from North Carolina
