What is Awaken?

An Immersion. A deep dive. A retreat unlike any other. Nestled in the heart of the fertile valley of Maui, we will enter into an advanced Awakened retreat, which will encompass the deepest parts of ourselves, including anything that has been repressed, suppressed or pushed away….. there are no taboos here. Every part of you is welcome.

Mackensie Grant (Satya Pria)

Follow Mackensie into the spiritual depths that transcend a class description, syllabus or itenniary. Mackensie’s role as organizer and facilitator is designed to transport the group into a dimension of learning and healing that is a perfect culmination of the present people and moment. 

Mackensie brings 20+ years of teaching, and expands her offering of Anusara-based yoga with the Work of  Byron Katie, Vipassana Meditation, Method Writing, Sacred Sexuality, Energy Management and Heart IQ.

Mackensie & Sam

Mackensie and Sam as a team create a circle dynamic that is both soft and sharp, but always compassionate, to skillfully bring the participants closer to their own truth. As a mens group facilitator of 8 years, and student of Christian Pankhurst’s Heart IQ, Sam uses his King, Magician, Warrior and Lover energies to hold the group in a safe and sacred container.

Asana, Pranayama & Meditation Practices

Enjoy the time and opportunity to really dive into the mechanics and deeper learnings of asana and pranayama.

We’ll be guided by the Uniersal Principles of Alignment of Anusara Yoga, as well as Tantric philosphies and intuitive guidance, weaving together to support you to align and merge with your deepest longing and mission.

Heart Circles

Use the container of the group to hold space for what’s moving inside, and provide feedback to help you gain clarity and expand your range of feeling and expression. This is our most passionate work, and is inspired by a lineage of teachers.

Nourishing the body

Designed for vibrant well being, the diet offered at this retreat is high in prana, and consciously served to heal the relationship of putting food in ones body. Expect a menu that is light in nature, yet not dogmatic, and able to accomodate dietary restrictions.

A note from the chef:

A bit about the food. I am 100% committed to serving food that nourishes us and the land. I source all ingredients local as possible, often from our own farm! If I cannot provide items from my land, I get produce from neighbors or other organic sources. All our animals we raise, are raised with respect and love.

The far majority of the produce is harvested just moments before the meal is prepared, give the utmost vitality and nutrition to the food.

I am constantly reminded of what a special gift it is that I can eat like this and it is my joy to share this with others.

This beautiful 13 acre organic farm has been the home to many aspiring and dedicated farmers from around the world, as well as a host for a wide range of retreats. We will be nestled in the fertile valley of Maui, a place to truly unplug and go within. Our hostess with the mostess, Beth, has been at Laulima for the last 15 years, creating a deeply loved and loving place to rest, retreat and get dirty if you so desire.

Nourishing food, connection, yoga and breathing in addition to adventures on the island that few get to see. We also were exposed to Heart Intelligence and Sufism – in a safe and open way for exploration. Since home, I have almost effortlessly incorporated much that I learned. The camaraderie was indescribable. Thank you for sharing this week with us.

I just spent a week with the Divine Beloved! Actually, I’m always with Her, but it felt more so on retreat in Maui! A beyond awesome week with these beautiful women. They created a loving container in which to explore not only yoga and exciting island adventures, but most importantly, a deep and loving connection with my new and forever friends!
