Awaken: A Women's Meditation & Yoga Retreat

Our Why/Concept:

The idea behind Awaken is to come back to the simplicity of life - using that experience to Awaken the senses and soften into our deepest Truth. Simplicity of life reminds us of all that is truly important and needed - nothing less and nothing more. It encompasses the meaning of community, nature, collective meals, group experiences, music, the elements, healthy foods, rest.
