The Art of Living Awake
The Art of Living Awake
Amya 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.
In most spiritual practices, we cultivate inner states on the yoga mat or in meditation, but the moment we return to daily life — shopping, working, attending meetings — the state fades away. Amya bridges this gap. She creates conditions where the practice itself is not separate from life but happens within it.
For example, she may guide you into an exercise as simple as going together to a shop. In this ordinary action, she invites you to play with your state of being, to remain relaxed, heart open, and expansive. The teaching is not about retreating from the world but about learning to walk through it in beauty, in openness, in expansion.
Her gift is to make subtle states concrete and embodied, not fleeting or disconnected. She teaches you to carry inner beauty into every encounter and action. This is the magic of her work: learning to live daily life in a state of presence that feels both natural and extraordinary.
This retreat is designed as a journey of awakening, embodiment and integration. The uniqueness lies in the bridge between two dimensions: Source within and creative, joyful expression in real life.
Morning sessions with Arnaud — We turn inward, exploring mobility and presence. Through somatic and energetic practices, we expand sensation, learn to move what is frozen, and restore ease in the body. This work develops inner luxury: a fluid, abundant state of being rooted in the body.
Afternoon sessions with Amiya — We bring this state into the world. Together we step into daily life — whether walking in town, shopping, or engaging in ordinary activities — and practice staying open, expanded, and embodied in the middle of real-life situations.
The key of this retreat 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.
Through this unique combination, participants will not only discover the beauty of returning home to themselves but also the power of carrying that beauty into the world.
What makes this retreat truly exceptional is its intimacy. We will be a very small group of only five-eight people, which means the guidance will be deeply personal, close, and tailored.
In many traditions it is said that transformation comes from being close to the master. Both Amiya and Arnaud has deeply rooted skills and beautiful transmition to offer. When you spend time in close circle with them, you naturally receive subtle gifts — the resonance of presence, energetic knowledge, and embodied wisdom. This happens not through words alone, but through direct transmission in the field we create together.
We will be staying in beautiful villas in Spain, and this is not accidental. Outer beauty acts as a mirror, reminding us of the inner structures of beauty, wealth, and worthiness we carry within ourselves. By choosing not to go below a certain standard, we affirm to life: “I deserve this. I can live in beauty and luxury inside out.” This outer resonance supports the awakening of inner luxury and abundance. And of course, its just natural to celebrate life in most beautiful surroundings, in inspiring company of wonderful souls!!
Because the group is so small, each participant will receive personal guidance, private adjustments, and close presence. At the same time, the small circle allows us to work with the collective field — harmonizing energies, supporting and uplifting one another, and anchoring transformation more deeply.
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.
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.
Across four full days, you will explore every aspect of daily life with awareness and intimate guidance. Walking, eating, moving, resting, and speaking all become gateways into presence — a reconfiguration of lifestyle from the deep inner source.
Each evening closes with question and answer sessions, offering clarity, integration, and new openings.
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.
The retreat is held in breathtaking, luxiry villa by the sea in Sitges, Spain, a historic coastal town whose golden light and atmosphere are themselves a meditation. Participants stay in spacious, comfortable rooms overlooking the sea, with access to terraces, a pool, and spaces for both community and solitude. The natural beauty of Sitges — the sunsets, the ocean air, the charming streets — supports and inspires the whole journey.
Across four full days, we explore every aspect of daily life with heightened awareness and intimate guidance. Walking, eating, moving, resting, and speaking all become gateways into presence — a reconfiguration of lifestyle from the deep inner source.
Healthy, yummy food
This journey is nourished by inspiring, healthy food prepared with care: gourmet breakfasts, nourishing brunches, fresh snacks, smoothies, and drinks throughout the day.
Practice flows beyond the villa into the beauty of Sitges. Together we will watch sunsets, wander through its charming streets, explore small shops and restaurants, and enjoy city excursions. Each outing becomes part of the practice — meditation in action, beauty in presence.
Each evening closes with a question and answer session, where participants bring forward what feels most alive. In these sessions, Amiya and Arnaud offer guidance for clarity, integration, and new openings — weaving together the day’s experiences into a safe and transformative container.
At its heart, this retreat is about returning to most natural, magical simplicity and authenticity — discovering that the deepest luxury is not external wealth, but the ability to live with presence, creativity, and joy.
In this space, what is frozen begins to move, what is hidden comes into light, and the most natural state of being — fluid, alive, and abundant — expresses itself as a luminous, beautiful, and joyful life.
Crazy sufi and tantric lineage
I always longed to meet a real spiritual Master—and to walk a mystical path full of magic, love, and ancient wisdom. This yearning was in me since childhood—perhaps even from many lifetimes before.
And when I was nineteen, the dream became reality.
I encountered an entire lineage of awakened Masters. A unique, wild, and radiant transmission unlike anything I had ever heard of. A crazy-wisdom lineage rooted in both Dervish and Tantric traditions—fierce, ecstatic, and utterly alive.
And what made it even more miraculous?
I didn’t find them in India, or Japan, or on some far-off sacred mountain. I met them right where I was living—in a small, quiet country called Lithuania. One of my beloved Masters lived just a fifteen-minute walk from my home.
The path choses you
They say that we don’t choose the Path—the Path chooses us. And in my case, it felt true. The taste of freedom, the fire of longing, the shimmer of boundless love were already dancing in my cells. And then, at the perfect moment, this mysterious Tradition pulled me into its loving, transformative embrace.
There are many kinds of spiritual paths.
Some slowly prepare you for awakening—step by step—through years of practices.
Others push you straight into the depths of your true nature, but leave you lost after the shocking revelation, without tools for how to live it.
Some invite you to escape society, live in nature, or join small alternative communities—often without ever touching the deepest mystery of who you are.
But this Path…
This one is something else entirely.
It blasts you open—into your essence, into boundless love, into oceans of vibrant energy—again and again. Not just once, but week after week, deeper and more intensely. And at the same time, it teaches you how to live as if you are already enlightened—in the middle of ordinary life.
“Enlightenment Before Enlightenment.” That is how it feels!
“Enlightenment Before Enlightenment.” That is how it feels!
When you live with a master
Enlightenment Before Enlightenment.
It shows you how to embody silence, peace, and wild divine love in the heart of every moment.
Not just on a mountaintop or a meditation cushion.
But in every gesture, every conversation, every piece of laundry, every trip to the grocery store.
And of course, when you live like this…
Your life is no longer ordinary.
It becomes MAGNIFICENT.
MIRACULOUS.
BEAUTIFUL.
LUMINOUS.
This Path does not avoid the world.
It does not reject desire, ego, mind, money, sex, success, power, or even chaos.
No—this Path includes everything. It brings intense presence, inner light, and fearless awareness into all of it. It transforms the mud into gold. The noise into music. The market into a temple.
We practice in the heart of modern life.
No need to escape. No need to close your eyes.
You can discover divinity in everything—with your eyes wide open, right in the middle of the marketplace.
Marija May - Speaking Coach
The first time I heard AMIYA speak, my heart trembled in a way I had never known. By that time, for years I had been teaching others how to speak, yet still felt no real love or connection. AMIYA didn’t touch minds — she awakened hearts, bodies, even souls through the simplest words.
Learning from her for nine years has completely transformed my life. I discovered depths within myself I never imagined. I am endlessly grateful to AMIYA — for her presence, for her light, for the way she, with infinite love, respect, and wisdom, guides us through every element of life into the radiance of truth.
