100 % Organic Aquaponics
Higher yields – more harvest cycles
“You get a much higher yield per acre than a traditional farm, which needs about six acres for every one acre of Aquaponics production.” Three to twelve times more crop rotations compared to agriculture on land.
Aquaponics uses about 90% less land and water than soil agriculture but potentially could generate three to four times more food, according to a report from Industry ARC, a Hamilton, N.Y., consulting and research company. It takes 60 days to grow a full-grown head of lettuce in soil and only 36 days in Aquaponics.
Intelligent design allows for the perpetual growing of food and daily harvesting, the whole year around.
What can be grown in an Aquaponics system?
100 % chemical free
Operating an Aquaponics system requires the absolute prohibition of chemicals. The use of any pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers is devastating for any aquaponics system because contaminating the fish with any of these products will result in their death.
Decontamination of the complete system would be required if operations are to resume in the same system. The complete water supply and fish population would need to be replaced and the system flushed thoroughly.
Problems with organic certification: Once you are certified, the inspector rarely stops by to check if you are truly practicing organic methods.
There is currently more organic produce being sold, than actually is being grown. Which means some produce labeled as organic is not. The only way to combat this is to know the farm you are buying from.
There is no cheating with aquaponics because one can’t use chemical pesticides of any kind or the fish would die, period.
Aquaponics uses 90% less water as compared to traditional farming. Water and nutrients are recycled in a closed-loop fashion which conserves water.
Aquaponics systems use fertilizer from cold-blooded fish which do not carry the E. coli or Salmonella, unlike fertilizers from warm-blooded animals.
No chemical preservatives, synthetic or artificial coloring, chemical sweeteners or flavorings, no refinement or processing, no use of derivatives.
Fish are the fastest converter of plant protein to animal protein. Fish have no growth hormones, no mercury, no antibiotics, No P.C.B.s. Plants contain no antibiotics.

Considerations
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move trough our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move trough the painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds – the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Spiritual Wisdom Guide
From Earthly Ego to Spiritual Self
For the Love of Humanity and All Life, we aspire to offer programs that introduce people to the wonderful aspects of living a spiritual life. But what does living a spiritual life actually mean? Well, first and foremost, a spiritual way of being is reflected by kindness and compassion toward all living beings, it is a philosophy anchored in striving for the best we have to offer for the benefit of the highest good.
In order to evolve spiritually as a collective, we will first individually have to master certain morals and ethics. Through advanced integrative courses, we teach a spiritual way of being that will deeply connect us with our higher Self, and with the Source of all that exists. Some may call this “God” or “The Universe” or “The Divine”. We prefer to call this “Source” for non-sectarian reasons.
With the creation of spiritual communities as one of Satya Advaya’s core endeavors, we wish to establish a global network of communities in which people may re-discover the Love, Peace, and Joy that is inherent to our natural state of being. A place to come home to, a home to cherish and to hold dear to our hearts, a school where we can re-learn the essential core values of life and re-educate ourselves, our children, and our future generations in a wholesome way.
