Awaken As Love Stage 1 in Poland - The Initiation
June 16-23, 2023
The Awaken as Love Initiation is a journey open to everyone – it begins with a choice to go on an adventure that will expand you beyond the boundaries of your current existence.
What will it bring to you?
More awareness, more love, more inclusion, more juice to your life and more depth if you allow it.
This first stage is called “Initiation” because if you choose this then all your experiences up til now have led you to this point and you are obviously ready to step into a wider reality – in doing so you enter fresh and new, open to discovering more.
As you step into this journey, you will encounter maps that help you understand the larger world and your place in it (this is beyond your imagination), tools which help you to play more fully in this world, embodied experiences which help you to anchor a new reality and finally ongoing resources which help to integrate and incorporate this into your life.
Testimonials:
"Awaken as Love touched my soul. It was the most beautiful experience of tantra and shamanism I could wish for. This week enabled me to make another step in my consciousness development, to let emotions melt in awareness, and to enjoy many new tools and practices. I am grateful that have been surrounded by loving people and great energy. Awaken as Love changed my perspective on myself and the world around me. I feel the power to do what I have been longing for, namely: living my life driven by love instead of by fear." -Soraya Hoetmer, The Netherlands
“What a journey with these lovely crowd, I have grow up as a person, I have made new friends and I’ve met cool and inspiring people. By the way, the transformation was such… that I decided to repeat the training and still, I was surprise by the new insights and the fun nights.
Love 💗” - SF
“ I’ve done different tantric workshops & festivals over recent years, but I don’t think any of them compare to the Awaken As Love training or festival in regards to its depth of emotional, intellectual, spiritual, sensual & sexual profundity 🙏🌷❤️✨” -Dr. Bob, holistic energy physician, Salt Lake City, Utah
BIG NEWS:
For the first time in 3 years, Awaken As Love Stage 2 - The Deepening is happening!
On completing the Initiation stage of this journey you will have downloaded a new operating system into your consciousness.
Many of the tools to bring your personal empowerment will be sitting in your pocket. Whether you use them or not is now up to you…
One way to really bring these more to life is through the Deepening process where the knowledge you have gained becomes digested into your being and emerges as your own wisdom, that can be expressed in your own words.
The deepening process takes you beyond the personal realms and into the unknowable as you undertake a shamanic death of all the conditioning that was given to you from outside and a rebirth as the deeper YOU emerges.

Awaken As Love Stage 1 in California, USA
October 2-8, 2023
Join founder James Stevesnson, and 3 exquisite goddesses of color: Taina Ixchel, Luna Jae, and Yulia Rose, at Awaken as Love Stage 1: The Initiation for a weeklong mystery school designed to elevate your life and potential.
Awaken as Love retreats offer maps, tools and experiences from Tantra, Shamanism, Embodiment, and Integral practices to take your life to the next level.
It has been said that a quantum leap occurs in humans when they realize and embody the most recent unfolding edge of our consciousness named “Integral Consciousness”, and that it takes just 10% of the world population to steady themselves at this level to form a critical mass that will help bring the rest with them.
These initiations are designed to jump-start your expansion into this level with the mission of helping that 10% emerge. So, do you feel some truth in this – is there some part of your body that says “yes” even if your mind doesn’t understand? If so, then you are aligning to a mission of being an ambassador of planetary change – perhaps as an already existing teacher, guide, or practitioner wanting to expand their influence, or just one who hears the call.
