The Art of Living Awake

Join our Luminous Life meditation retreats

Learn to live extraordinary in the ordinary.

Awakening is not apart from life — it is embodied in every step, every word, every gesture. This retreat is a rare invitation to live your light.

The Luminous Life Meditation Retreat is a rare and intimate journey into real life meditation. It is about integrating inner stillness, beauty, and light into the way we live, turning daily life itself into the deepest spiritual practice. Instead of chasing extraordinary moments, we discover how the ordinary awakens the extraordinary, and how every step, every breath, every conversation can become meditation.

Awakening is not apart from life — it is embodied in every step, every word, every gesture. This retreat is a rare invitation to live your light.

This retreat is designed as a journey of embodiment and integration. The key here is the bridge: from the inner world of sensation and mobility, to the outer world of action and relationship. This integration is a game-changer. It transforms presence from something we taste occasionally into something we can live daily.

Unique approach...

The Luminous Life Meditation Retreat is designed as a boutique experience, limited to a very small group. This ensures intimacy, closeness, and the possibility of true personal guidance. Each participant is met exactly where they are — making this not a “one-size-fits-all” program, but a living, tailored journey.

This retreat is guided by AMIYA Andrė Pabarčiūtė and Arnaud Chartier, two dedicated meditators and masters in their fields. With decades of experience as teachers, practitioners, and creators, they offer a rare depth and diversity of guidance.

Amiya opens the doorway into inner silence and the embodiment of awakening in daily life. Arnaud brings his somatic expertise in re-educating the nervous system, restoring natural flow in body, emotions, and energy. Together, they create a field of presence where transformation unfolds naturally.

Our retreat unfolds in a breathtaking surroundings, in luxury villa by the sea in Sitges, Spain — where outer beauty mirrors the inner abundance we are awakening. Surrounded by golden light, ocean views, and the charm of this historic town, every moment becomes a celebration of life, presence, and joy.

What to expect...

Four days of blissful life with full awareness

AMIYA’s Guidance

Amiya has a rare gift: she teaches how to walk in the world while staying rooted in a state of openness and beauty. Unlike the ascetic monk who retreats from daily life, her talent lies in bringing states of presence directly into everyday situations...

ARNAUD’s Transmition

At the heart of Arnaud work lies the cultivation of presence: an awareness that does not judge or resist but embraces everything as movement. From this space, the nervous system learns to trust, relax, and expand….

Luminous Life Retreat

Days will unfold in a rhythm of presence and delight. This retreat will be a dance of individual precision and collective resonance: deeply personal, yet profoundly connected. Together we will shift our state of being and anchor luxury as both an inner and outer reality.

Invited to live an awakened life

Luminous Life was born out of a very personal journey. For the past 20 years, I have been receiving profound transmissions from a unique crazy wisdom lineage rooted in Sufism and Tantrism. For 12 of those years, I lived alongside an awakened master. From him, I received not only the transmissions of expanded states and my own true essence, but also the living teaching of how to embody them in daily life — moment by moment, 24 hours a day.

This is the heart of the lineage I was entrusted with: a living transmission that does not retreat from life, but reveals how to walk through it with openness, truth, and beauty. It’s a meeting of meditation and celebration: in the language of Tantra – the union of Shiva and Shakti. In the Sufi tradition – Wine of Union.

For the past 18 years, I have shared this with students in Lithuania, guiding them into awakened living.

Now, inspired in part by my beautiful creative friendship with Arnaud Chartier, I feel called to share this transmission more widely. With Arnaud’s mastery in somatic work and presence, we are weaving together a unique retreat format — something I have never seen or heard of anywhere else.

The Luminous Life Retreat Is not just a program. It is a direct expression of twenty years of practice, transformation, and devotion. It is an absolutely unique format, born from rare transmissions, deep friendship, and a passion to bring awakening fully into life.

I believe this retreat can be deeply precious for those who are sincere explorers of the spiritual realms and who feel a calling to live their inner truth in every step of life.

I, AMIYA will guide you through precious, rare practices transmitted to me directly by my Masters — practices I have lived, refined over the past 20 years…And still continue enjoying them everyday.

They are the meeting of meditation and celebration: In the language of Tantra — the union of Shiva and Shakti.

In the Sufi tradition — Wine of Union.

These will not be abstract theories or exercises, but real, living experiences woven into daily moments — walking, eating, conversing, resting, creating, writing, listening to music, touching, dancing… even shopping or scrolling your phone.

Simple acts becoming gateways into depth, joy, and totality.

We will also be joined by special guest, dancer, yoga teacher, explorer of inner and outer movement Arnaud Chartier, whose presence and guided movement meditations will add a unique flavor to our shared space.

Before the retreat

Welcome session before retreat​

Before the retreat begins, each participant is invited into individual sessions with Amiya and Arnaud. In these conversations, you share your context, wishes, and intentions, which then shape the retreat itself. this makes the retreat extremely personal and unique, with guidance tailored to your subjects and challenges, ensuring the possibility to dive deeply into what matters most to you.

Daily schedule

Here is a preliminary schedule of the retreat. Yet our days will not be confined by it. We will flow with the unique journey of each participant, guided by inner processes and the joy that unfolds within.

After the Retreat

The journey continues when you return home. Three weeks later, all participants gather again for a group integration call with Amiya and Arnaud — a space to share discoveries, ask new questions, and receive guidance in anchoring retreat insights into daily life. This continuity ensures that the work begun in Sitges continues to blossom.
