The Light Retreat, April 9-12 | Austin, TX
Hello legend,
For anyone who's been asking me about doing a retreat in North America, I want to share an opportunity that you don't want to miss.
My friend Danny Miranda is hosting The Light Retreat in Austin, TX this April 9–12, 2026. Spots are limited to 10 people.
As Danny says:
The purpose of this retreat is simple: increase the amount of love you have in your system. This will lead to everything else in your life working out better.
[This retreat] will give you a new frame with which to look at everything through. It will allow you to see yourself more clearly, perhaps more clearly than you have ever seen yourself before.
To date, I have never promoted anyone else’s events on my newsletter.
I'm making an exception today because I know first-hand how incredible Danny’s care, facilitation, and energy is.
I attended one of Danny’s retreats in 2024 and it was a truly exceptional experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend The Light Retreat to anyone on the path, seeking to expand their consciousness, increase the amount of love and truth in their life, and step into the version of them that feels most true.
Traditionally, Danny’s retreats have been open only to men. This is the first time Danny is opening up his retreat to both men and women.
If you've been seeking the next level of growth in your life, and you’ve been searching for someone who can both challenge you and hold you in presence, love, and truth, I can think of few people more qualified than Danny Miranda.
To get a feel for Danny’s frequency, I recommend listening to this podcast I recorded with him shortly after attending his retreat in 2024:
I genuinely am so excited for anyone who chooses to attend The Light Retreat. It’s been more than a year since Danny’s last retreat – a year of powerful growth – so I know that the magic he’s going to bring to this is going to be even more next-level than his previous retreats. 🧙♂️ ✨
If I wasn't on the other side of the world during this time, I myself would be there in a heartbeat.
If you feel even the slightest resonance with this email, I highly recommend applying for this retreat.
It’s an opportunity you don't want to miss.
Warmly,
James
