The AWAKEN retreat is an investment in our well-being, bringing us together for a life-giving weekend focused on Jesus- to slow down, rest, recover, & refuel.

"Awakening is not changing who you are but discarding who you are not." - Deepak Chopra.

Many of us are feeling burned out and don’t know how to replenish our reserves. We don’t feel like ourselves. We feel burdened under the weight of unnecessary expectations combined with extreme societal stress. We lack the capacity to show up fully for our families, our jobs, ourselves, and especially God. We want relief. We want to feel connected. We want to discover our authentic selves in God. We want to flourish.

It’s time to AWAKEN.

Set amidst the majestic surroundings of the San Isabel National Forest, nestled on 33 acres in the serene shadow of Mount Shavano, AWAKEN provides the opportunity to disconnect from stress and reconnect with self and our Creator; to release expectations and set new intentions; to stop simply surviving and move into thriving; to live as our most authentic selves; and to encounter the unique power of experiencing this transformational journey with a community of fellow believers.

The AWAKEN retreat will bring us together for a life-giving “glamping” (glamorous camping) weekend to slow down, be fully authentic with ourselves, each other, and God, investing in our wellbeing.

In synergy with the glorious natural surroundings in which it is set, the retreat will be plant powered, with premium plant-based meals, teas, fruit-infused waters, coffee, and adaptogenic drinks for everyone. We will also be using compostable, reusable, and recyclable materials wherever possible, designed to leave the smallest footprint. The location of the retreat is on private land that has access to private bathrooms/showers, electricity, wifi and running water.

The curated programming is designed to provide you with the opportunity to create the experience you need for where you are in your journey. Activities including meditations, prayer hikes, yoga, breathwork, community gatherings, mandala art and craft workshops, and other mindful experiences are all available to you but are fully optional.

If you could benefit from a time of refreshment, recovery, and refueling, it’s time to AWAKEN.

This immersive retreat experience is open to men and women, 21+.
