The January QRI Retreat: Connection, Growth, and a Sneak Peek at The New Quantara Laser

The January QRI Retreat in Crystal River, Florida, brought together practitioners and individuals for a meaningful time of learning, connection, and exploration. Surrounded by a supportive community, attendees spent several days deepening their understanding of reflex integration while sharing experiences, expanding skills, and reconnecting with QRI’s commitment to helping children and adults grow and integrate through reflexes.

Throughout the retreat, Bonnie Brandes guided participants as they strengthened their hands-on abilities using light and sound frequency techniques with the QRI Laser. Sessions included learning new protocols, refining existing ones, and building confidence through guided practice. Many individuals described the experience as both refreshing and inspiring — a chance to revisit familiar foundations while discovering new ways to support progress and growth.

One exciting moment of the retreat was a live video call with the engineer behind the upcoming Quantara Laser. Attendees were given an early preview of the Quantara — the next evolution of the QRI Laser — and were taken through a demonstration of the new laser’s capabilities. The sneak preview revealed several new features, including a color screen, universal USB charging connection, timer options, and additional enhancements aimed at improving ease-of-use and precision.

The Quantara has been a frequent topic of curiosity within the QRI community, and this preview offered a glimpse into what is coming next. While development is still being finalized, the current expectation is for availability sometime around April 2026, with updates to be shared as progress continues.

Beyond the technical learning, the retreat created space for meaningful collaboration and shared discovery. Participants exchanged insights, explored real-world applications, and supported one another in expanding their ability to help individuals get a boost in integrating reflexes. These moments of connection often become the most lasting part of the retreat experience — reminding everyone that growth happens not only through new tools, but through community.

As QRI continues to evolve, gatherings like this serve as both a grounding and a launching point — honoring the work already being done while opening the door to new possibilities ahead. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us and look forward to sharing more updates soon.
