5th Annual Awakening Souls Retreat
A guided journey for young people ages 16-28
This is our time to wake up and step into our life as fully embodied and empowered young people, transforming the world around us through our example.
Huge changes are happening on this planet right now and the younger generation is the one to steer the course of the planet’s future. The future of the planet will be decided by our ability to authentically live our truth as individuals, as a generation and as global leaders. We are coming together for two weeks to rediscover the inner inspiration, supportive resources and the power of our collective vision to recreate ourselves and the world. Join a dynamic group of youth leaders and amazing young people from around the country and world for this time of co-creation.
During our time together, in the awe inspiring beauty of the Crestone mountains, we will explore many activities that will bring us deeper into self-awareness, the discovery of our unique gifts and that which blocks us from sharing them, embodiment and expression of our truth, and empowerment to live this truth in everything that we do.
Our days will be structured around the following activities:
- Expressive Arts (visual art, writing, music, theatre)
- Movement/ Dance
- Daily Meditation Practice
- 4-day Wilderness Rite of Passage
- Ceremony
- Native American Sweat lodge
- Self Awareness Practices
- Yoga
- Sharing of Universal Spiritual Wisdom
- Leadership Skills
- Supportive Community
We believe that it is up to this generation to find peaceful, compassionate and respectful ways of working in community with others regardless of the difference we may have in belief, culture, background, lifestyle, or life paths. In this knowingness we welcome everyone to join us for our collective journey.
