LUMARIYA
LUM: Luminous/Luminary - One who radiates inner light and guides others through darkness.
-
ARIYA: Sanskrit for "Noble Leader" and "Spiritual Warrior." One who walks the middle path, promoting sight and knowledge, tending toward peace, higher wisdom, and enlightenment. The noble ones—Ariyans—achieve this status not through birth, social position, or external authority, but through their inward nobility of character.
I'm gathering 15 beautiful humans I love (and I think would love to know each other) for my birthday, those who understand that our greatest impact comes when we're aligned with our deepest truth.
This retreat is for 'Luminous Leaders' committed to a new standard - of leadership, of love, of relationship, of health, of wealth creation, and stewardship of Life itself.
We are devoted to Truth.
Dominican Republic
August 1-6, 2025
The purpose of the retreat is to connect to and evoke Truth. To reconnect to your heart, soul and vision. To listen deeply. Still the mind. Receive guidance and revelation for your creations. A return to center, such that you are walking with the utmost clarity and integrity.
Listen Deeply
through contemplative practice, stilling the mind to receive guidance for your vision
Experience Rapture
together, exploring how collective intention amplifies our capacity for aliveness
Engage in Vision + Innovation Work
using 3MMC—a substance that creates remarkable clarity and transcends ego without the downsides of other entheogens
Replenish our Energy
through luxurious rest, exquisite food, high quality community, somatic unwinding, spiritual practice, and the healing power of sun+sea
Connect
with fellow leaders who understand both ambition and the call to serve something greater, friends committed to integrity and a life well lived. Explorers of consciousness.
Paradise Living
hot days with delightful ocean breezes, pristine waters for boating + snorkeling, kayaking, and SUPing, bike rides and golf cart adventures, poolside lounging at our stunning house with attentive staff, delicious tropical fruits, deep restorative sleep, and play!
Our Temple
The setting itself is an amplifier—a stunning private estate where the ocean breeze, pristine waters, support staff, and natural beauty remind us of life's inherent abundance.
Our gathering space is so beautiful.
“Are we living in a way that’s worthy of our incarnation?”
With this worthwhile question to ponder, we'll explore how to refine our approach to creation—achieving greater success with more peace, impact and enjoyment. Because luminous leadership means modeling the world we wish to see and integrating ours values into the fabric of everything we do.
This is an opportunity to come home to yourself, remember what matters most, find greater alignment, adjust what may be subtly out of integrity, and see with renewed sight whatever may be ready for a fresh perspective.
Some other inquiries that might inform our time together:
What becomes possible when we unite our consciousness in deep meditation and prayer?
Can we encode these elevated states cultivated on retreat, so thoroughly that they become our new baseline, transforming how we show up in our lives, businesses, and relationships long after we've left?
What if this gathering becomes the catalyst for a sustained awakening that ripples through everything we create?

WHY I'M HOSTING THIS RETREAT
I've decided to host a retreat for my birthday for a few reasons:
Part of what is mine to do, is create environments that bring out our very best. Curating retreats and bringing amazing people together for legendary experiences is my greatest art. I want to gift you with a meaningful experience that blesses your life. Hosting allows me to embody and share my essence with people I love. You get to imbibe in this essence of wholeness, paradise state of mind, and live into the question for yourself - how good does it get to be?
This moment—midway through the business of summer and this year—feels perfect to reestablish connection. To ensure we're moving from center. Checking in on our alignment. Slowing down to check in whether we're operating in our lives, relationships, and businesses from naturalness and truth. I want each of you to succeed and be the happiest person in the universe. This work supports that.
I intend to curate a Luminous Leadership development school, network, and community of practice. Without the pressure of this becoming something, I'm inviting the people who embody this type of leadership and I see as potential contributors to the ecosystem. This may be the genesis of something I've been preparing for many years. However, most events try to be something, promise you'll find the collaborator or investor you need, or that we're going to mastermind to solve big problems in the world, etc. These intentions rarely happen, and feel like unnecessary pressure. You'll probably leave with at least one new meaningful friend. Or fall deeply in love with someone you knew but now have shared a memorable adventure with. Maybe the answer to your prayer will happen. Maybe we'll hatch a plan that will change the world. But this is more about Being. Without trying to do so much. Often, our greatest ideas and revelations actually come from this place.
This will be a facilitated experience, with plenty of spaciousness. You can weave your gifts for those who feel inspired. And you can just sit back, receive and be merry. :)
