AWAKEN abundance
We are calling ladies from near and far to join us in this 3-day retreat, “Awaken Abundance”.
This retreat is an invitation for women to step out of scarcity and into alignment—with your time, energy, desires, and deepest values. Together, we’ll explore what abundance truly means for you: not just more doing, but more being; not just more success, but more ease, joy, love, and peace.
Through thoughtfully curated workshops and immersive experiences, we’ll focus on clarifying bold dreams and visions, optimizing schedules and energy, creating sustainable rhythms, setting strong boundaries, and shifting from chasing to magnetizing what you desire. We’ll explore abundance through practical tools like productivity and biohacking, alongside soulful practices that help you open, receive, and trust.
Imagine this… Waking up to birdsong and crisp mountain air, sipping your morning beverage beneath towering pines, moving your body in the meditation hall as sunlight filters in, diving into powerful workshops that expand your relationship with time, money, and energy, savoring chef-prepared, farm-to-table meals crafted with love, wandering the labyrinth in quiet reflection, cooling off by the creek, soaking in the warmth of the fire at night, dancing under the stars, and falling asleep feeling grounded, open, and deeply abundant.
WE GATHER IN NATURE
Camp Earnest Retreat Center, Twain Harte, CA (just 3 hours outside of SF)
This multi-zone mountain property offers a variety of thoughtfully designed spaces for us to gather, reflect, and expand. From intimate circles to open-air experiences, each is deeply connected to the surrounding forest.
No need to travel to distant lands, Awaken Society brings world-class healers, coaches, and professional mentors—women who have trained and facilitated across the globe—directly to you, creating a rich, intentional container for growth and abundance.
We believe that true luxury is presence. Accommodations include a mix of lodge rooms, elevated glamping, and camping, offering a return to simplicity without sacrificing comfort.
Where do I AWAKEN?
Outdoor fire-pit and amphitheater
Hot tub and sauna facilities on property
We believe that nourishing food is an essential part of the body–mind–spirit experience. Our meals will leave you feeling lighter, more energized, and nutrient-abundant, with fresh, farm-to-table ingredients—thoughtfully sourced and prepared by chefs who love what they do.
This year, we’ve significantly elevated our food program, partnering with the incredible chefs at Camp Earnst to create meals that are as delicious as they are nourishing. Below you’ll find sample dishes and menus that offer a taste of what’s to come. Our chef is happy to accommodate vegan and gluten-free options.
