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.
