RETREAT TESTIMONIALS


“I returned refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply reconnected to self, the divine, and some amazing yogis with beautiful souls!! Grateful! We did different types of yoga by the beach and also in a room full of light overlooking the beach horizon, ate delicious healthy food. Did powerful ceremonies including under the moon with a fire on the beach for releasing that which needed to be released and burnt up, and creating new. Under Tina's guidance and wisdom as a yogi and experienced therapist, we worked through various personal issues throughout the week that we each wanted to heal and change, as she helped us tap into the guru within. We created vision boards using collage, did meditation, and experienced sound and energy healing sessions. I left with my nervous system totally regulated and my heart full.” Julie Sefirah Duncan


“Tina Karagulian posted that she is doing a 4-day retreat and as soon as I saw the post I felt I was resonating with and joined. During that week, I healed aspects of my life & definitely raised my vibration. Despite of the fact that it was very late at night for me as session started around 10:10 PM and ended 12:10 PM Nepal time, I joined in on all for 4 days…Tina is a kind of person and a healer you would love to know & have services with. I felt like I know her from other lifetimes. On the first day, we had a truth-telling session with meditations. I shared my inner heart along with other ladies in the group, and it was such a huge recognition for me as no one interrupted or judged anyone. We listened to one another with lot of humility and respect. Tina even asked our intentions in all the 4 days, every time and guided us with beautiful and uplifting healing journeys…[anyone] like me who needs & loves healing & want to serve humanity on a large scale, meeting someone like Tina is a huge blessing. Tina is highly gifted & a special person who is a great listener & accepts the feelings of person in front of her. She has a soothing voice, a lot of talent, knows various healing modalities along with yoga & mudras, & a calm person full of humanity….Knowing a genuine talented healer like you is a gift from GOD. May GOD bless you...”

"You know that magic feeling of being at the right place at the right time? It was then that I came across an incredible offering by Tina Karagulian. And I, along with two other women, took a dive into an exquisite four-day retreat. Here, we were held and guided within beautiful natural order that arose a spontaneity from deep within that only comes through soul connection. Thank you so much Tina, your gifts of creativity and intrinsic connection to spirit flowed straight from the heart. I am so grateful to have found you and been on the receiving end of your gifts. When I grow up I wanna be just like you."

"The 4-day retreat with Tina has been helpful and expansive in numerous ways, exploring and communicating deeper with my Self, my mind, beliefs, self awareness, my body, and my heart. The daily meditations were very helpful and focusing. Tina is skillful and sensitive in her healing work. Much Gratitude."

I met Tina 2 years ago as a student in her one of her collage classes in San Antonio. About 6 months after the class, I received an e-mail from Tina offering a Kundalini Yoga series on breath. I was a weekly Kundalini yoga student of Tina’s for over two years, driving to Austin every week. I am a devoted student and a true disciple of the discipline; I set aside an hour every day to practice the sets of movements, Kriyas and meditations that I have learned from Tina. I cannot imagine life, as I now know it, without Kundalini Yoga. The quality of my life has improved immeasurably; I am happy and calm and I am finally able, most days, to achieve a balance between work, rest and leisure, and spiritual life.

In August 2020, I participated in a 3 part Fire Series that Tina was offering. The first Fire Series session was very powerful! Tina led us in a guided mediation and asked us to visualize our lives as children when we were happy and secure with ourselves, when there were moments of pure joy and innocence. This was the beginning of my transformative journey of self discovery. I had spent so many years living to work and suppressing my true, authentic, self that I did not even remember who and what my true self is. This series was an archeological dig down into layers buried so long and so deep that I had forgotten about the events that preceded them. This series was so impactful for me because, for the first time in my life, I took the time to really think about how I was living my life in the world and why I was living the way I was. These were hard, soul-searching things and in the process, I have experienced the joy and happiness that come from being true to myself and not allowing anyone else to define who I should be. I asked Tina to repeat the Fire series during the 2021 beach retreat, and she included it.
The retreat, and the last two years, were life changing!”

“Sound Healing with Tina Karagulian is so powerful, restorative, loving.”

Yamille Gonzalez-Cordero


“[After my sound healing session with Tina], that was the most relaxed I felt while conscious!” Sophia J.


“I listened to the custom gong recording you created on Karma clearing you sent me days ago and that further enhanced everything I’m feeling. It felt like Divine Guidance!”

Jo Gordon of Jojosukha


“[Re: the Venus gong relaxation with Tina], it was different every time, always great, and out of this world for me.”

Carol Mourad, PhD.


"Tina Karagulian is awesome; she gave me a healing that incorporated sound healing. She was intuitive and sensed some emotional components that may be contributing to a lower back injury that I have. During the healing she guided me into a meditative space. The sounds she played on her gong seemed to fit in perfectly with the visions. I found myself in a clear healing chamber under a waterfall. It felt like somewhere I wanted to stay for a long time. I started tapping into some old memories there and realized they contributed to me not feeling supported. I then got some animal visions which I believe held messages for me around becoming more empowered and fierce, but it also held feminine energy as well. I would highly recommend her…She reminded me to put myself first again."

Jackie Miller


“I have always wanted to do a Kundalini Yoga experience. It was my first experience and very powerful…I just feel the energy flowing. . .The movements I could really it feel shifting stuff inside by body, the organs, my digestive tract, and opening my heart, which is what I came here to do, so that was a really big part of it.”

Angela Kinney


“For me, it was the most grounding Kundalini Yoga class I have ever tried… this was by far the very grounding for me, and at the same time, very invigorating… It was really, really revitalizing. At the same time, I was being brought down and I was really present throughout the whole experience, which gave me all the energy that I need. I definitely had a heart opening, it really helped my back and massaged my spine and my brain. There was a shift in consciousness, of being light and open. I thank Tina for that experience.”

Jhoanna Rae Marquez


“My journey with Tina has been wonderful, transformational. With a pure and caring approach to teaching yoga, Tina incorporates all mind, body and soul principles into her classes. She creates a calm and supportive environment ensuring that your confidence is developed. She never rushes or pushes. She clearly loves yoga and teaching it!”

Katie B.


 

“Tina is such a pure-hearted soul who serves from the heart. Her ART is devastatingly beautiful and healing. She is a yogini extraordinaire with gong included. Her art and healing offerings are filled with peace, love, acceptance and light. I highly recommend her in all ways.”

“Thank you so much. [After one session], I feel very noticeably different today, my nervous system is calmer and chakras are more balanced. I noticed a difference in how I was able to navigate through my day. My singing is noticeably different as well!! Very grateful! I feel like the kundalini energy is moving through my body more fluidly whereas it was staying uncomfortably stuck in one or a couple chakras. I would do things that would move it up or down, but it would still get stuck, and I’d feel stuck in my life in regards to one issue or another. Now, it is flowing more freely and I feel like I’m having more conscious awareness of it throughout the day as well as control of the movement of the energy. Also, I’m feeling more aware of others people’s energy and able to communicate more clearly and be in better rapport. ”

Sefirah Duncan

 

"Tina creates such magical and gentle space for healing. She listens and really gives permission to what is wanting to be expressed. I feel safe and trust Tina completely and am so grateful to receive such a level of understanding, space, love and depth with all her many, many gifts.

I also attended my dear friend Tina Karagulian’s kundalini yoga and sound bath meditation. I experienced moments of complete stillness and calmness. It was a sacred experience that I am so grateful for. I want to leave you with this message and prayer that is inspired by those moments:

May I come to know and embody peace.
That I can silence all the noise that clouds the mind.
And come into my sacred being.
To be aligned in my center and connected.
That all of my energy is in one flowing stream and this moment is the only moment that exists.
True stillness.
May I know and be peace.
Amen."

Lauren Wenzell,

After attending the Texas Beach Retreat 2021:

“I don't really have words. It was magical."

Carmen Nash, Nash Reconnective Healing

 
 

“After my custom reading and yoga session, I feel more grounded and more in my body and clearer than I have in a very long time.”

Carol Monroe



"Tina Karagulian has a beautiful, evocative process in her Visio Divina weekly sessions that gently coaxes our healing energy to emerge during the collage assembly. She weaves together music, meditation, tactile sensations and breath to form a safety net in which participants are able to explore deeply held emotions individually and together. This has been an enriching experience that supports my having the courage to explore deep wounds as well as a lifetime of forgotten treasures. Thank you, Tina, for developing and offering this sacred, soul container, especially during this difficult time of uncertainty in our country and in our world."

Rosalyn Collier, Co-founder SA peaceCENTER


"Thank you for holding the space that is behind and between our thoughts. You offered us an opening for creativity, connection, silence, and music. Keep being the healing Light that you are."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I love this 8-week collage class you've so thoughtfully created and facilitated so caringly...It's wonderful to see and personally experience the growth and revelations that emerge in this encouraging environment. You are an inspiration, truly. I look forward to participating in whatever you offer..."

Michelle Simpson


“I did the collage after an intense week at a spiritual retreat. My completed collage revealed a new perspective on where I was and what I wanted from this new place. The materials that Tina provided were so beautifully amazing for creating the vision of my life. Tina makes it safe to dive in and see what wants to be revealed. If you are ready for a loving, transformation then come to one of Tina’s collage workshops.”

Susan P.

“Participating in [collage] group sessions with Tina has been enlightening, fun, and filled with delightful surprises along the way. As a gifted facilitator, Tina insightfully and sensitively utilizes the many facets of her academic studies, spiritual formation and lived wisdom to accompany participants as they uncover, recover and discover their most authentic inner potential.”
