AWAKEN oshun
Oshun was known as the goddess of fertility, prosperity and bodies of water — worshiped in African, Brazilian and Cuban cultures.
Also known as “Lady of Gold” for creating a flow of abundance, generosity and prosperity. Fun Fact: Singer Beyonce has been known to embody her, performing in Oshun inspired outfits.
Oshun plays to the theme of this dynamic retreat as we gather within the Navarro River basin and kick off the first week of Spring. It’s time to wash away that which is no longer serving you, become crystal clear on your motivations, and make the decisions necessary to move ambitiously towards your dreams in 2020. No matter what you hope to transform: your mindset, business, relationship, body, financial health, etc. — our coaches are here to help.
THE SPACE
Bell Valley Retreat (Boonville, CA - 2.5hr from San Francisco)
No need to travel to distant lands, AWAKEN SOCIETY brings healers, life coaches, and professional mentors who have practiced all over the world, directly to you.
REAL TALK: While our retreats are fun and connective, they can also be challenging. New realizations can be unsettling but will ultimately help you break through to who you want to be. Transformation is never easy, but it’s so worth it.
Where do I AWAKEN?
Friday, June 12th, 6:00pm to Monday, June 15th, 3:00pm
Participate in 13+ dynamic workshops focused on healing, spirituality, sexuality, women's health, business, activism and so much more!
NOTE: This is a new 4-day experience (4th day is optional). Due to our strong partnership with the retreat center, we’ve been able to negotiate an extra night. Monday will be an opportunity for downtime, integration, conversations with new and old friends, and will have some light programming. If you have the time, please extend your stay with us!
