About this retreat
Our nationwide, renowned The Awakening: A Sacred Journey to Self is a self-discovering, self-healing, replenishing, and enlightening retreat designed to activate or deepen one's connection to self. From the very first day to the last, this retreat will deconstruct, build back up, and open up new neural pathways in your being helping to propel you towards your own inner greatness.
We have carefully crafted this retreat to meet the needs of individuals and groups from all over the world to be in a collective space to help assist in the essential question one must ask themselves, "who and why am I". This retreat assists in the expansion of one's consciousness and provides a sacred and safe space to dive within.
We educate on somatic mysticism and trauma-informed therapy as we believe this to be one of the greatest obstructions on our path to consciousness. The Awakening Retreat takes place about 2 hours north of the Atlanta International Airport, in a scenic mountain milieu, giving the perfect weekend getaway to explore, transform, and realign.
