Mini Retreat: A Luminous Journey

Join us for an afternoon mini retreat in a beautiful sanctuary in South Austin. Embark on a breathwork journey designed to help you access your natural clarity, inner healer, and creative source within.

In a safe, supportive container, we will engage the healing power of breath, evocative music, and expressive art exercises to:

• Nourish parts of you that feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed
• Gain insight and perspective on a current life situation or challenge
• Access unconscious patterns and bring them into awareness for healing and integration
• Awaken creativity and flow by connecting with your Luminous Mind—the wise, grounded, centered presence within

Whether you’re new to breathwork or looking to deepen your inner work journey, this workshop is open to all experience levels. You’ll be guided by experienced facilitators through conscious breathing, guided meditation, and expressive integration practices that help you reconnect to your body’s wisdom and your mind’s natural luminosity.

Register now to reserve your spot and step into a journey of transformation, insight, and embodied awareness.

Luminous Breathwork is a transformational practice rooted in the Holotropic lineage and enriched by the contemplative teachings of Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Our method blends:

• Conscious, circular breathing to reset the nervous system to bring about inner peace, calm and relaxation
• Music, movement, and somatic presence to deepen embodiment and emotional release
• Guided inner inquiry to bring unconscious material into conscious integration
• Elements of Mahāyāna-inspired awareness practice, helping you touch into your own unconditioned clarity and creative potential

This modality is not about fixing or forcing—it's about remembering what has always been whole beneath the layers of stress and conditioning.
