MUYA is the Atayal word from what is now northern Taiwan that means "to plant." At MUYA, we are planting the village of families that we envision at Mother Tree Sanctuary.

MUYA is designed to nourish families of all backgrounds physically, emotionally, and socially. By providing daily organic, plant-based meals and snacks, ensuring outdoor play in green spaces, and arranging for daily contact with playmates, we nurture the physical body. By working on projects and navigating day-to-day challenges together, we encounter and deal with a range of emotions, developing emotional maturity. And by creating a space where parents can stay with their children during the day to lead or assist in classes, or to simply share a meal with their children, we create a space for social cohesion.
