about the big glow retreats
John & Kathy Stringer (Healing Arts Management founders) are grateful to have partnered with Brian Piergrossi (The Big Glow Retreats founder) & Annie Marie on many successful retreats & events and know this one will be equally or even more incredible!
The Big Glow Retreat is a co-creative experience. It is a group experiment in awakening to the conscious potential of each moment. An opportunity to relax and open up to a deeper level of authenticity, clarity, purpose and connection.
Participants share music, dance, yoga, hiking, bodywork, and stimulating, heartfelt, intimate conversation with new friends and old.
There is plenty of solitary space for silent contemplation and meditation, as well as a weekend filled with many unexpected miracles and inspirational moments.
Brian Piergrossi founded the Big Glow Retreats in 2006 and has since held over a hundred retreats all over the world.
After a three year hiatus, we’re back!
The Big Glow retreats are a unique, wonderful weekend or more of insight, connection and enlightenment, as an experiential answer to life’s deeper questions. The intention of these unique retreats is to come together with others on a path of living more consciously, with greater self-awareness, and open-heartedness, in every aspect of our lives for greater well-being in oneself and the world at large.
A supportive, inspiring, intimate space of natural beauty is provided to come together as a community with others to transform ourselves, our future and our world, in a positive way.
Join us for a weekend long, unique, evolving exploration, experiential exercise, and inquiry into what it means to live fully, present and alive to each moment, ever more deeply moving into the vast power of this Now, free from the burdens, and anxieties, of past and future.
WHAT & WHY
Watch a Video as retreat facilitators Brian Piergrossi & John Stringer answer the questions “What are the Big Glow Retreats & why do we do them?
FROM OUR COMMUNITY
I have attended multiple Big Glow retreats with Brian, and in each, I experienced co-creating an intentional, spiritual community with other participants, deep connections with others, and new insights into my own being. The retreat environment calls forth and nurtures my highest self, helps me release negatives and ideas of self-limitation, embrace my potential, and find new wellsprings of joy inside myself.

I had the privilege of doing one of these retreats. I was floored and amazed by the information I received. This was the first time I have gotten what I call Universal Truth guidance and some of it changed my understanding forever!
– S.G. | Atlanta, GA
The Big Glow retreat experience is a living symphony composed of various heart opening movements or phases. Each movement is grounded in the expressed intention of the group, and galvanized through presence, into the effortless unfolding of each magical now. Every individual works as one aspect of the whole and simultaneously co-creates, witnesses, and participates in the full expression of each movement as it arises. As the group collectively travels through, and reflects upon each movement, it gains a deeper awareness of itself, and transforms into something completely new.

Big Glow Retreats Founder, Author
Brian Piergrossi is the Author of The Big Glow and The Wow of the Now, Life Coach, Retreat Facilitator & Meditation Teacher, Healer & Breathworker.
At the age of 20 years old, Brian was suddenly struck by a mysterious, debilitating illness, later labeled chronic fatigue syndrome, that lasted for years, leaving him in intense, daily, physical pain and too weak to effectively function in society.
When no medical or other authority figure could explain the suffering that was happening to him, Brian made it his life commitment to inquire into human suffering. What began was over 11 years of committed, serious inquiry, study and personal application into the fields of spirituality, religion, psychology, sociology, cosmology, ecology, health, arts, science, yoga, as well as the core of the enlightenment and self-realization teachings.
Since that time, Brian has dedicated himself full time, professionally, and privately, to supporting the path of transformation, spiritual liberation and Self-Realization in individuals, families and communities around the world.
His highly acclaimed books and the viral internet sensation ‘Love is the New Religion/Spiritual Conspiracy’ continue to inspire new readers worldwide. He works one on one, by phone, and in person, with personal life coaching clients from around the world of all walks of life. He leads transformative Big Glow retreats, classes and workshops internationally. Brian has shared his message as a featured guest on numerous radio and television programs. He has lectured at colleges, schools, festivals, expos and conferences. His online writings are shared to thousands of readers worldwide each day. He’s written cutting-edge articles for spiritual magazines.
With the unrelenting sole intention of educating and facilitating the awakening of consciousness and creating the New Earth inside individuals and communities around the world,
Brian Piergrossi is an integrated voice of awakened spirituality, holistic wellness, & sovereignty, for a growing population around the world.
“When the pillars of my limited mind collapsed, the roof caved in and I could take in the beauty of the stars.” -Brian Piergrossi
KATHY STRINGER
Healing Arts Management
Entrepreneur, Channel, Author
In 2015 she began co-managing and booking her husband, John Stringer, as he traveled extensively speaking and playing at concerts, colleges/universities, workshops, spiritual centers, churches, conferences, retreats and festivals while sharing his uplifting and healing music and message through songs from his debut solo album, “Limitless Love & Light;” his follow up album, “Moment to Moment;” and channeled teachings found in his new book, The Abundance Vibration: A Guide to Alignment. Currently she and John own and operate Healing Arts Management where they represent Billboard charting, award-winning, platinum-selling musicians, authors and speakers who are raising the vibration of the world with their passion and message. They also plan and produce many transformative retreats together, including the Conscious Songwriting Retreat which allows conscious & positive music songwriters to come together to inspire each other and co-create songs through tapping into their inner genius.
JOHN STRINGER
Healing Arts Management
Life Teacher, Healer, Billboard charting singer, Author
John Stringer is a life teacher, speaker, Billboard charting singer-songwriter, healer, and author with a passion for music, community, expansion and limitless love & light. He currently serves as Founder of PolyPlat Records, Partner at Healing Arts Management & ConsciousSongwritingRetreat.com, Co-host of Awakened Pillow Talk podcast, host of The Alignment Podcast, Co-Founder of MasterMomentMakers.com (an intuitive training membership site), and a True Collaboration℠ leader at BandingPeopleTogether.com (clients include leaders at Netflix, Focus Brands, Home Depot, Cisco, Microsoft, NASA, ESPN, SunTrust and many more).
He began channeling with his wife, Kathy Stringer, in 2008, using the practice daily for their own personal guidance and eventually sharing guidance anonymously on a now non-existent website for a few years. When Kathy and John first asked the name of the collective consciousness (or guides) he initially channeled, the simple reply was: “I am Reality and I am Love. Yes. My name is less important than your focus on what I bring.” Over time, the guides helped him realize how to align with Source so that he channels from his Higher Self / Divine intelligence. John aligns to speak publicly, write music & lyrics; serve others in group, remote & one-on-one channeling sessions; and write content for his websites and books that share the teachings he continues to receive.
He travels extensively, speaking and playing at conferences, retreats, concerts, colleges/universities, workshops, spiritual centers, churches, and festivals while sharing his uplifting and healing music and message through songs from both his debut solo album, “Limitless Love & Light,” which features the 2017 Posi Award-nominated song, “That’s Love;” and his follow up album, “Moment to Moment;” along with channeled teachings found in his book, The Abundance Vibration: A Guide to Alignment.
