These experiences will expand your boundaries while challenging and empowering you to live with greater alignment, fulfillment, and newfound vitality.

Retreat Testimonials

“Over the past year plus I have been battling serious periods of depression and anxiety, and have really been questioning what the purpose of my life really is. I feel like I do all the right things yet have felt so disconnected and alone in this world. It was only through God‘s miracle in an answered prayer that I got invited on a AWW retreat, where I felt like a part of my soul that had been buried and hurt for so long was brought back to life! At the end of the day, our life is only measured by how much we loved in the experiences we made and this retreat not only helped me to remember that but I’m sure will be a memory I remember through the rest of my life. If you’re reading this, I hope you have as powerful of an experience as I did, and I’ll see you on the next retreat!”

"I'm so glad I went! This was my first real introduction to mindfulness, but I felt right at home with our group and had no trouble participating and contributing. Although we kept ourselves busy throughout the weekend in and around the beautiful seaside house in Montauk, I felt totally recharged when I got back to the city on Sunday evening. It was a very serene experience — I remember ignoring my phone so as not to spoil the feeling. I highly recommend the As We Wake retreats to anyone interested. Come with an open heart and mind, and you'll be treated to a perfect weekend."

“As We Wake is full of genuine, positive, and caring souls. These retreats have the potential to change lives and overcome trauma. I highly recommend an As We Wake retreat to anyone who wants an affordable healing experience and a safe introduction to psychedelics. Tomas and his team care far more about helping you and the world than turning a profit. Grab one of their retreats before they start selling out and have to raise prices — because they’re going to!”
