LUMiNOUS SOLSTiCE

JUNE 18-21, 2026

transformational nature retreat outside of Boston, MA

Come as you are.

Leave as you've always been.

 

Deep within, you already know the way.

This retreat is an invitation to remembrance, through light, breath, kriya, ceremony, movement, plant teachers and attunement to the rhythms of Mother Earth.

Set at the edge of a lake, surrounded by forest, the Luminous Solstice Retreat is a four-day immersion designed for those who are ready to stop seeking and start remembering.

All of you is welcome here: the tender parts, the unfinished parts, the parts that have been waiting to come home.

This is a container for Self-discovery, held joyfully with care, depth and reverence for this sacred Earth & ancient practices of awakening. 

What awaits you...

A full-spectrum journey through the landscapes of the self.

Join us for a weekend with soul-aligned community in a living ceremony, structured with intention, spacious with rest and rich with modalities that work together across your nervous system, your body, your imagination, and your soul.

All of life is ceremony, let us remember together.

Core retreat offerings include:

Ancient Kriya Practices: 

Originating in the high peaks of the Himalayas thousands of years ago and designed specifically to accelerate human evolution, these practices remind us of our true nature: that we are not separate from the intelligence of the universe. Kriyas combine breath, movement, mantra and mudra to evoke a particular transformative action penetrating from the physical to spiritual planes (and everywhere in-between).

Lucia N°03 inner light journey: 

The Lucia N°03 is a consciousness light device that combines steady & stroboscopic light to invite the brain into deeply relaxed, expanded states: similar to those documented in meditation masters and psychedelic research. Most people experience rich visual landscapes, profound stillness & a quality of inner illumination that is difficult to describe & easy to remember.

We have the special honor of being joined by Dr. Dirk Proeckl, co-inventor of the Lucia N°03 light technology, neurologist & heart-led guide.

Plant Spirit Journeys:

Our experiences with Mother Earth in this retreat are invitations to remember and embody the living reciprocity at the heart of all life. From creating a sacred mandala with materials gathered from the land, to journeying with plant allies, to a facilitated medicinal plant walk; each encounter with our plant teachers deepens our remembering of how intimately we belong to the natural world. 

 

Additional Offerings:

  • Sound Healing — Immersive and relaxing sound healing offered by Jack Howard. 
  • Cacao Activation & Ecstatic Dance —

    An evening of heart-opening and embodied movement, held in community.

  • Nature Connection Ceremony & Mandala Making —

    A walking meditation and nature immersion practice, gathering materials from the land to build a sacred mandala together.

  • Mala Workshop — Receive a sacred Mala from India, blessed in the Ganga, and learn how to work with it to rewrite our unconscious conditioning with aligned prayer.

  • Morning Yoga, Kriya & Meditation — Daily practices to open the body and arrive fully present before each day's unfolding.

  • Plant Limpia & Cleansing Practices — Traditional water and plant clearing to prepare the body and energy field for deep ceremony work.

  • Nightly Nervous System Reset Rituals — A 20-minute guided bed ritual each evening to integrate the day's experience and restore the body for rest (plus herbal tea!)

Organic meals, lake time & unstructured rest are woven throughout because nourishment is self-love.

For decades he has studied the subtle language of the nervous system — measuring electrical potentials, neurotransmitter balance, and the relationship between light and consciousness. He co-formulated Neuropsycholysis, a framework for working safely and purposefully with altered states for transformation and integration. Dirk joins this retreat in a support role — bringing rigorous science, deep curiosity, and no small amount of joy to the container.

He is known for his stable loving presence, big heart and humble supportive presence. Jack's sound healings are memorable for the shamanic depth and energy that emerges through them. Jack will be offering a potent sound healing journey during our spirit journey.
