Testimonials:
"I have attended multiple Big Glow retreats, 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." – S.K. | Sacramento, CA
"I had the privilege of doing a Big Glow retreat. I was floored and amazed by the information I received... I received the kind of guidance that changed my life forever!" – S.G. | Atlanta, GA
"The retreat experience with Brian and Annie 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." – L.I. | Indianapolis, IN

Brian Piergrossi is the founder of the Big Glow Retreats, and has facilitated over a hundred retreats around the world during the past 18 years. He 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.
Annie is an internationally recognized breathwork teacher who has led personal sessions, and group classes, workshops & retreats worldwide for over 8 years, touching thousands of life, & bringing people into a deeper connection to who they really are & why they’re here.
Her formal include over 500 hours in Anusara yoga and extensive study in Iyengar, Vinyasa and Kundalini Yoga. Annie also holds the highest certifications as a Certified Clarity & Rebirthing Breathwork practitioner and Energy Healer.
In 2023, both Annie & Brian had a profound unexpected, mystical encounter with Jesus Christ that has elevated the clarity and power of their teachings in a new way.
They live on 6 acres in the Appalachian mountains of SouthWest Virginia with their 5 month old son.
