Yes, that’s right, we’re back! Last year we took a group of six men on a journey of a lifetime. This time we’re expanding out to make this extraordinary trip available to both men and women.

Are you ready for:

Adventure?
Deeper self-understanding?
Improved relationships with yourself and those you love?
A supportive space where you can be your full self and share with others like you?

What would you say to a week dedicated to diving deep into these questions in what many consider to be one of the most auspicious places on the planet? Sounds amazing right?! If you’re as excited as we are about this incredible opportunity then this journey is for you.

The Awakening 2.0 is a transformational adventure experience for men and women looking to awaken their greatest power, potential and authentic self-expression in the world.

We are bringing together a group of courageous individuals willing to dive deep into what it truly means to be free. This incredible journey will take us down into the Sacred Valley in Peru and up into the majestic and mystical Andes Mountains with other like-minded people from around the world. Throughout the three day trek we will:

Experience traditional shamanic ceremonies
Visit Andean villages where we’ll get to interact with the local indigenous people.
Hike and camp amid the spectacular Andes Mountains.
Connect, learn and raise our consciousness.

This sacred exploration includes daily reflection, group discussions and exercises all centered around your full integration as a complete and whole human being. There will also be a healthy dose of physical activity, learning, sightseeing and cultural immersion. And this entire experience will be lead by two experienced life coaches that will help guide you to experience the greatest expression of yourself possible.

If a deeply transformational experience in one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World resonates with you then we wholeheartedly invite you to join us!

2017 Participant “We’re coming back with an experience we can’t explain. Nobody saw what I saw. It’s almost like you have this inner light that’s a little brighter; that people are going to see. That’s the awakened part. Because of this trip we now have something bigger to share. Whether we can put it into words or not, I don’t know, but people will see it. “ Dr. Julio Hernandez

2017 Participant “This trip was about stepping into my Truth. I feel like I experienced the true nature of reality in such a deep way that, I don’t think that I can “un know” it. I can’t really explain it, you have to live it. You have to go through it. You guys really put together the right ingredients in the perfect way where everything aligned, starting from the initial talks all the way up to the San Pedro experience. I feel like I was able to remove a filter, a block, where now I’m able to flow and allow the Universe to do its thing. “ Marcel Luisis

2017 Participant “The Awakening Man retreat was one of my Top 3 experiences of 2017. There was purposeful reflection, physical challenges, deep cultural immersion, and instant camaraderie with my peers. Few moments in life compare to the deep joy of summiting a mountain after a 4 day hike through an ancient Inca trail or the sense of awe in overlooking a breathtaking Sacred Valley. There’s nothing like living those moments, in that place, with those people. Simply, priceless.” Christopher Gueits

There is so much that can be learned from the ancient Peruvian culture and today‘s wonderful people of Peru.
