Summit State Retreat - Wix Cover - 971x489.png

Join us for a Transformational Mountain Retreat to Reset, Recalibrate, and Return to

your Summit State.

Nestled in the sacred landscape of Beyul Retreat Center, just outside of Aspen, this immersive retreat invites you into a space intentionally designed for deep healing, clarity, and transformation. Surrounded by untouched wilderness, flowing water, and expansive mountain energy, Beyul is more than a retreat center—it is a sanctuary for awakening.

Taking place September 4–8th, at the height of Colorado’s early fall foliage, you’ll be immersed in the mountains as they shift into vibrant shades of gold and amber—one of the most breathtaking times to be here. As nature transitions around you, it becomes a mirror for your own evolution, inviting release, renewal, and transformation from within.

Rooted in the Tibetan concept of a “hidden land,” Beyul offers a rare stillness that allows you to soften, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect to the intelligence within you.

THE INTENTION

This retreat is built around a powerful inquiry:

What would you do if you were fully operating from your Highest Self?

Through this experience, you’ll be supported in:

Gaining clarity on your life path
Strengthening your ability to self-source and trust your intuition
Identifying what is energy-draining vs. energy-giving in your daily life
Regulating your nervous system and releasing accumulated stress
Stepping into your role as the creator and leader of your own life

THE OUTCOME

This experience is designed with intention—so you don’t just feel the shift, you leave with it embodied.

You’ll walk away:

With a clearer vision and aligned direction forward
Equipped with practical tools to integrate into daily life
Feeling grounded, embodied, and deeply connected to yourself
Reconnected to your intuition and inner guidance
Empowered to take aligned, focused action toward your next chapter
Anchored in a state of clarity, discipline, and self-leadership

WHO THIS IS FOR

This retreat is for you if:

You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your path
You’re craving clarity, direction, and deeper purpose
You’re ready to release emotional weight and stored tension
You’ve been doing the work—but you’re ready for the next level
You desire to feel more grounded, present, and aligned in your life
You’re ready to step into your next evolution—with intention

No prior breathwork or yoga experience is required—just a willingness to show up fully.

THE METHOD

All sessions are guided by Emile Lisauskaite and Ryan Ciepley, fiance facilitators trained in the Owaken Breathwork methodology—a trauma-informed approach that blends breath, somatics, and conscious awareness to create real, lasting transformation.

This work goes beyond the session.
It’s about how you live, choose, and show up—long after the retreat ends.

WAKE UP OR STAY STUCK

At a certain point, it becomes clear:

It’s not your past.
It’s not your circumstances.
It’s not the timing.

It’s the patterns, the conditioning, and the unconscious loops that keep playing out—until you choose to see them.

This work is about waking up—to your habits, your thoughts, your emotional patterns, and the ways you may be keeping yourself small, safe, or stagnant.

Because staying stuck isn’t something that’s happening to you.
It’s something being reinforced—often unconsciously—through what feels familiar.

And the moment you become aware…
you gain the power to choose differently.

This retreat is an invitation to interrupt those patterns, reconnect to your truth, and step into a new way of being.

Emile Lisauskaite

Born in Kaunas, Lithuania in 1996 and raised in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, Emile (Em) was shaped by the contrast of two worlds. Moving to the U.S. at six years old without knowing the language taught her adaptability, resilience, and curiosity about human connection. Each summer, she and her sister traveled alone to visit their grandparents in Lithuania, who exposed them to diverse cultures through journeys across Africa, Turkey, and Greece. These formative experiences instilled in her a lifelong reverence for travel, diversity, and the beauty of different ways of living.

Em’s journey has taken her across many parts of the world—guided by a desire for experience over possession and meaning beyond material success. Immersed in cultures across both developed and developing regions, she discovered the richness of simplicity, the strength of community, and a deep reverence for Mother Earth.

Her path has also been shaped by profound loss. Navigating complex trauma during childhood and the later passing of both her best friend and father became catalysts for deep inner work. Rather than letting grief close her heart, she allowed it to expand her—teaching her presence, compassion, and the transformative power of love. These experiences, along with periods of deep disconnection from her body and truth, now inform the gentle, intuitive, and reverent way she holds space for others.

Em’s spiritual curiosity began in childhood, sparked by a fascination with the mind and the nature of existence. This inquiry led her to study psychology, Law of Attraction, subconscious reprograming, yoga, energy, and the nature of consciousness through meditative states and deep presence. In 2017, she completed her first yoga teacher training, and by 22, she took a leap of faith—stepping into ownership of Rising Lotus Healing Center alongside her mother. Together, they transformed it into a sanctuary for healing, self-discovery, and spiritual expansion, later extending this mission worldwide through transformational retreats.

Since 2019, Em has served as the lead trainer for the Rising Lotus School of Yoga & Wellness 200-hour Teacher Training Program, certifying nearly one hundred students. With over 10,000 hours of teaching experience, she blends ancient wisdom with modern science to support others in reconnecting with their authenticity, inner power, and embodied truth.

Today, Em embodies the archetype of the wounded healer—one who transforms pain into purpose and teaches that healing is not about erasing hardship but embracing the full spectrum of human experience. As the owner of Rising Lotus, certified breathwork facilitator, energy worker, sound therapist, and intuitive coach, she bridges the seen and unseen to guide others home to themselves.

Her intention is always the same: to help others reclaim their power, embody their authentic medicine, and remember who they truly are—beyond stories, roles, and form.

Ryan Ciepley

Ryan is a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator trained and certified through Owaken Breathwork, known for creating grounded, deeply transformative spaces where people can reconnect with themselves on every level—physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

His journey into breathwork began with a single experience that completely shifted the way he saw his life. What started as curiosity quickly became a reckoning—revealing patterns, beliefs, and ways of operating that were out of alignment with who he truly was. Through consistent practice, Ryan moved from a dysregulated, reactive state—driven by external expectations and subconscious patterns—into a life rooted in clarity, intention, and inner guidance.

In 2025, Ryan experienced the loss of his father to suicide—an event that deeply reshaped his life. Breathwork became more than a practice; it became a lifeline. It allowed him to process grief in a way that was not only compassionate, but transformative—helping him cultivate a deeper sense of connection, meaning, and even an ongoing relationship with his father beyond the physical.

Ryan’s approach blends his background in business and high-performance environments with deep inner work, allowing him to bridge both the material and spiritual worlds in a way that feels grounded, practical, and accessible. His facilitation is rooted in the Owaken Breathwork methodology—a holistic approach that works with the body’s natural intelligence to restore energetic balance and increase awareness of patterns, stress responses, emotions, and intuition.

Those who work with Ryan often leave feeling lighter, more regulated, experience deep emotional release and deeply connected—to themselves, their breath, and their next steps in life. His work is for those who are ready to move beyond surface-level growth and step into a more aligned, authentic way of living.
