Testimonials

I feel happier, more alive, less angry, less stressed, and more able to laugh easily. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself!

— Ro S.

I decided to try meditation because of high stress and lack of sleep. It has 100% helped me. Meditation has become critical to my day, it's up there with eating and breathing. I would recommend Light’s course to anyone and everyone!

Nikki B.

I came out of the classes eager to meditate twice a day and I have not only consistently done it, but I look forward to my meditation sessions.

— Nicolas S.

After struggling to adopt a regular meditation practice for years, thanks to Light, I now know why my previous attempts were not successful. I have a deeper understanding of how to develop consistency and I am confident that my new practice will become a vital component of my day-to-day life and overall lifestyle. I have already benefitted in many ways after only 3 weeks - better sleep, less anxiety, and a general feeling of being more relaxed.

Who should not attend?
Anyone who is not interested or unwilling to participate in the meditation instruction and daily inspirational talks. Anyone who is not able to go the entire week without consuming alcohol. Those who find it difficult to be in natural environments (where you may cross paths with a spider, mosquito, or some other bug from time to time).

How much meditation will I have to do?
Just a few hours of instruction a day. And there will be plenty of free time to hang, swim, get spa treatments, and enjoy the location.

When should I plan to arrive at the center?
If you are traveling across multiple time zones, we recommend you fly into Puerto Vallarta a day or two earlier to accommodate jet lag and settle in before the retreat starts.

What airport do I fly into?
The easiest way to reach the town where the center is located is to fly to Puerto Vallarta International Airpot (PVR), which has non-stop and connecting flights from most major US cities. The center is about a 90 minute drive from there, and we can organize the airport pick-up for you.

Meeting Light was one of many steps which helped re-direct my life towards a more meaningful and rewarding path.

— Jimmney K.

His meditation teachings lead me to a daily practice that I love so much that I change plans throughout my day just to get my meditation in.

— Wendy B.

I'll be approaching my third week practicing the twice-a-day meditation.  It's been...an incredibly intuitive and easy approach to something that may seem so elusive.

It does not compare to using a guided meditation app, which I've tried before

— Carlos V.

After this class, I have been telling everyone that they should meditate.  It is something that you need to experience for yourself because you can't really put into words how the class makes you feel. When Light comes back to Chicago, I know his class will be full!

— Danielle W.

I can certainly say I am sleeping better as a whole, and actually function much better on the days when I don't get as much sleep as many of us would like.

— Marianna F.

I've spent a lot of time dabbling in different types of meditation over the years, but nothing has ever really stuck. I was searching for a technique that would resonate with me about 6 years ago when I lived in Chicago and stumbled upon one of Light's intro sessions. I can honestly say that this has been one of the best investments that I've ever made in my life. You aren't just taking a 4-day course and that's that. You are provided with ongoing support, a mentor, a wonderful community that you can be as involved or uninvolved in as you want, and the opportunity to retake the class at any time in the future. My only regret is not having started 6 years sooner.

— Jennifer J.

Light was extremely adept at explaining how to meditate, the rationale behind each instruction, and the result it would produce. Even though I just completed his class about a couple of weeks ago, I already feel better throughout my days, think more clearly, and am able to better adapt to the challenges that arise on any given day.

— Ben H.

If, like me, you've been using meditation apps to learn to meditate, my suggestion is to just stop and take Light's course (4 days, 1.5 - 2 hrs/day). No matter how good the apps are, there's no comparison to having a talented, expert meditation teacher in front of you to teach you and answer your questions. He takes the frustration out of meditation and gives you the tools to be self-sufficient in your daily practice. After taking his course, I feel liberated and empowered to achieve the benefits I've been seeking through meditation.

— Sharon W.

When I decided to learn mediation from Light, I knew it was going to be life-changing. However, I had no idea how life-changing it would be. Light is patient, caring, insightful, and helpful throughout the entire process. He is so knowledgeable about meditation, the plateaus, the frustrations people have, etc., that he is able to help anyone through those frustrations when they arise and help them understand that it is part of the process. Light helps you let go of the judgments surrounding whether you are doing it correctly or incorrectly
