Put down the weight of your aloneness.
Welcome to TUA!
We are a nonprofit organization serving the Orlando community. TUA is a space for connection—connection to self, to each other, and to life itself. Through classes, events, workshops, and gatherings, we cultivate growth, healing, and exploration.
Rooted in spirituality, personal development, and creativity, our primary offerings include meditation, Reiki, personal growth workshops, and connection-based activities. We honor service as a vital expression of connection and embrace all paths, traditions, and perspectives. TUA does not follow any specific doctrine or religion; instead, we create a welcoming space where each person can explore their own spirituality, faith, and sense of the sacred.

In Loving Memory
The Urban Ashram was founded in 2020 by "Bhaja" Bhajarangi Jaya (aka Christopher J. Boyden). Bhaja served the community of Orlando through a steadfast commitment to caring and loving for all people. He operated under a guiding principle: that there are no throwaway people. He absolutely adored the most ignored and offered love to the most unlovable. As a result, he was moved to found The Urban Ashram, which focused its proceeds on serving meals to the homeless residents in the community.
We are deeply honored to continue the work he started and commit to providing a space where all can deepen their practice of radical, unconditional love. Thank you for this precious gift, Bhaja. ✨🙏❤️
