How to choose
Find your right doorway.
If you're seeking growth or clarity,
and you're not carrying an acute trauma load, Awaken is the flagship doorway. Six days in the Colorado foothills. Three ceremonies. You arrive curious and leave with more access to yourself. Most alumni describe it as the most meaningful week of their adult life.
Explore AwakenIf you're carrying trauma, PTSD, or treatment-resistant depression,
Heal is built specifically for you. The container holds IFS and somatic work alongside the ceremony. The preparation is more thorough, the follow-up is structured across eight weeks, and the facilitators are trained in trauma modalities, not just ceremony. This is not a heavier version of Awaken; it's a different model entirely.
Explore HealIf you can't travel, or want to go deeper before or after,
Awaken at Home isn't a consolation prize. It's a 4-month skills program that teaches what most people wish they'd had before their first ceremony: how to work with difficult states, how to integrate insight into daily life, and how to build a somatic practice that holds the changes. It pairs with either on-site program, or stands alone.

“I arrived carrying a question I'd been circling for years. I left with the answer, not as a thought, but as something I knew in my body.”

Awaken · Spring 2025
“Fifteen years of therapy hadn't touched what three days in that container moved. I finally understand what integration means.”

Heal · Winter 2025
“I thought I was 'not ready' for retreat. The program showed me I was already doing the work, I just needed the skills to do it consciously.”
