Silent Awakenings

overview

An Inward Journey through Silence

Shh. Turn down the noise. Power off the distractions. Just listen. Do you hear it in the silence? That’s your inner voice. When you step away from the noise of everyday life, you make space for the thoughts that matter—the ones that tell you what you want and need.

Silent Awakenings is a week-long journey within, inspired by teachings and writing of Deepak Chopra. Held along the banks of the Colorado River at the secluded Hyatt Lost Pines Resort and Spa, you’ll embark on a journey of silent self-discovery and allow your mind and body to settle into their own natural rhythms. Deepak Chopra and the most inspiring names in well-being will gently guide you as you create space for stillness, relax beneath the wide sky, and reconnect with your deepest self.

Silence allows you to go beyond inner and outer distractions, see life's challenges from a clear perspective, and watch as your soul shines through. For that reason, we ask that you attend this retreat on your own so that you may focus all your attention on your spiritual growth.

A year of beautiful grand finales, celebrating you

Chopra retreats have been gatherings where people have found love, inspiration, and connection as well as experienced transformational healing. After deep reflection, 2023 will be the last year for Chopra live events as we’ve experienced them.

There are several upcoming opportunities in 2022 and 2023 to come together and celebrate the unique magic of Chopra’s transformational retreats. We’re committed to making our final events extra special—a year of beautiful grand finales dedicated to you.

If you’ve attended one of our events in the past, you know the synchronistic magic that happens at Chopra events. We’d love for you to experience it one more time.

And if you’ve never been to one of our events because you’ve been waiting for the right time... we hope that you’ll join us in presence, joy, and most of all, gratitude for the beautiful memories we’ve made, and the countless lives we’ve touched and will continue to impact as we move forward.

Location

Let the beauty of nature do the talking

Tucked away in the rolling hill country of Austin, Texas, the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa is the perfect place for relaxation, contemplation, and diving deep into your inner stillness. Here, the great outdoors takes center stage amid towering pine trees and along the banks of the Lower Colorado River. With over 405 acres of wide-open space to explore, we invite you to let go of the anchors holding you back and open your senses, heart, and mind to the wonders of nature: gardens, waterfalls, pecan groves, rocking chairs beneath shade trees for quiet contemplation, a pool and lazy river, and so much more. After your days, relax by a fire pit near the river and gaze at the stars.
