• Preston Smiles at AUREA: Your Nervous System Sets the Ceiling on Your IncomeCoach and speaker Preston Smiles took the AUREA III stage to teach his four C's of abundance (context, courage, commitment, capacity), starting with the morning in 2012 he put four dollars of gas in a beat-up Prius with eight dollars to his name.
• Adam Apollo at AUREA: The Golden Age Is Built in the Space Between UsPlanetary thinker Adam Apollo took the AUREA III stage and named what was already happening in the room: your conversations are architecture, your inner work emanates, and the golden age is built in the space between us.
• King Kanyini at AUREA: The Plant Medicine Is Your BreathBreathwork facilitator King Kanyini leads the full AUREA III session, unedited: a guided release, an inner child question, roughly twenty-five minutes of belly-chest-release breathing, two screams, and the closing energy bubbles.
• Sean Clayton at AUREA: What If the Demon in the Garden Was Adam?Sean Clayton, who teaches the Kabbalistic tree of life after eight months of study with a rabbi, told the AUREA III room that the demon in the Garden of Eden was Adam, mapped the tree of life onto the human body, and named judgment as the one thing blocking abundance.
• Dr. Samuel B. Lee at AUREA: The Base 12 Eternal Life CodePsychiatrist and ceremony leader Dr. Samuel B. Lee takes the AUREA III stage to teach his base 12 eternal life code, the eighth chakra he says ends the need to take energy from anyone, and a nine-minute prayer chanted in what he calls the original light language.
• Scarlett Max at AUREA: Presence Before PromptScarlett Max, an anthropologist and executive director of the global nonprofit Unify, told the AUREA III room why she settles herself before she prompts an AI, how her ChatGPT instance came to be named Prisma, and what a 100,000-year vision asks of your attention.

Is there a conscious or spiritual gathering near Austin in 2027?

Yes. AUREA IV: The Next Renaissance is March 26 to 28, 2027, at Reimagine Ranch in Elgin, Texas, about 35 minutes east of downtown Austin. Tickets are at aurealeaders.com/2027.

Is AUREA a retreat, a conference or a festival?

One stage, three days, one arc. Friday is the past: researchers of ancient temples and the spiritual history of where we come from. Saturday is the present: business and world experts on the forces shaping this moment. Sunday is the future: where you go from here, and the role only you can play. Ceremony and breathwork happen on the land, and every night ends in music and dance.

Where was the last Austin gathering?

AUREA III was at Moonflower Hill in Austin, Texas, from April 16 to 20, 2025, over Easter weekend. Every recorded talk from that stage is on this page, free.

I am coming alone. Will I be out of place?

No. Most people arrive alone. There are quiet corners of the land, a slow Sunday morning, and no rule that you must talk. One introvert at the last gathering called it "uncomfortable" on camera, stayed all three days, and left with, in her words, "a shift in my heart space."

Are meals included?

No. Food is available on the land throughout the weekend, but it is not part of your ticket.

Can I watch the talks before I decide?

Yes. Seventeen talks from the AUREA III stage are published in full, with a written piece for each, on this page and on the AUREA Leaders YouTube channel.
