2025 Retreats are LIVE!
Wilderness Adventures & Retreats
I grew up adventuring; hiking the mountains of Hong Kong as a young child, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 16, living in the Panamanian jungle teaching yoga, and sleeping in my hammock on many an island off the coast of Thailand.
My time spent in nature stoked a fire in me that has led me to deepen my wilderness sufficiency and encourage others to get outdoors. I am a NOLS certified Wilderness First Responder and trained in swift water rescue. You can probably find me mountain biking, hiking, or paddling in whatever destination I’m currently visiting.
My passion for the outdoors blossomed into the creation of Awaken Retreats, a business I own with my best friend, Kelsey Brown. The mission of Awaken Retreats is to use the practices of meditation, movement, yoga and re-wilding to come back to our wholeness. We believe when we awaken our innate bond with Mother Nature, we discover a deeper relationship with our truest essence of Self.
