By aligning your intention with the power of this time through the gateway of retreat\, you can catapult your spiritual progress.  \nOjai has been specifically selected for this due to its spiritual vortex\, beauty and peace of nature. If you’ve been experiencing obstacles in your life\, the flood of grace will remove them\, making way for insight and a clear path ahead.  You’ll spend your days and night quieting your mind\, receiving grgoing deeper inside than ever before. \n\n\n\n\nFind complete information and registration at the link below: \n\n\nSummer Solstice Retreat 2026 \nFacilitators \nSince Mark Griffin’s passing in 2018\, senior students Lauren Freiman and Fernando Escobar have facilitated retreats and other Hard Light Center of Awakening events. You can learn more about them here: \nLauren Freiman has been a dedicated student of meditation and the unfoldment of the spirit for two decades since meeting her Guru\, Mark Griffin. She had the great fortune to spend many years of intense\, close study under him\, during which time she received his grace\, knowledge\, and blessings. \nWith twenty years of experience helping people transform and rewire their nervous systems\, Lauren is a life coach specializing in trauma and emotional health and helping her clients/students create a life of joy and fulfillment. Her teachings stem from Tibetan Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism\, which she has studied over many years through meditation\, Yoga\, contemplation\, and integration with everyday life. Her classes are a fusion of her acquired wisdom and inner realization\, spoken through a present-day lens accessible to practitioners of all levels. She offers her teachings to the lotus feet of the Siddha Lineage\, the Enlightened Sangha\, and most especially her Beloved Guru. \nFernando Escobar began his journey after a powerful spiritual experience led him to search for a teacher who could explain what he had experienced. He found his Guru\, Mark Griffin\, who taught him Yoga while he underwent the involution process that occurs through meditation. He dedicated the next 13 years to being by his side until he passed in October 2018. \nThe number one tool he learned was meditation\, the goal of which is to bring the mind to a stop and experience the first level of Awakening called Samadhi. As Mark would say\, “The Bliss of the World is the Bliss of Samadhi.” From his experience back in 1998 until now\, he finds that to be absolutely True. \nIn addition to teaching meditation\, Fernando has spent the past 20 years healing others through massage therapy\, acupuncture\, and sports medicine.
