Awaken to LIFE

Program Details

Do your days feel crowded yet dull and life-as-less? Do you ever find yourself saying, “there’s gotta be something more”? Are you tired of sleep walking through life?

“Awaken to LIFE” is an interactive experience about coming fully awake and intentionally responsive to the Divine gift of Life in the present moment. Through a variety of conversations and contemplative spiritual practices, we intend to unlearn hitting life’s snooze button and to relearn living fully alive on purpose, leading to a LIFE of vibrant wholeness and wellness and meaning.
