step away from the everyday.

Gain perspective.
Align your life.

A change from the regular rat race existence of our culture can be one of the best remedies for feeling numb or disconnected from soulful living.

Say yes to an Awaken + Free retreat where an average holiday turns into a life-altering experience.

If discontent is your disease, travel is medicine. It resensitizes. It opens you up to see outside the patterns you follow. Because new places require new learning.

Love from Awaken & Free
Soulful Adventurers

conduits of the Divine

I feel so blessed by the way we were genuinely led and looked after on this retreat. The leaders were real conduits of the Divine of how they loved and served us this week.

deep connection & healing movement

What I thought I was going to get was a great time away in Tuscany, and an amazing experience. What I actually got was: a deep connection with incredible women, true soul care from servant leaders and healing movement, and an appreciation that outside of my roles as mom and wife, who I am and what is important to me… matters. The Awaken & Free Retreats are truly transformative and are opportunities no one should miss

receive what your heart longs for

Allison took us on a daily journey of peace, stillness and much needed time to quiet and focus our minds on being present and centered. She fused mental wellness, self love, books, journaling, and mediation with daily yoga that was both refreshing yet calming at the same time. Allison gently guides you on a daily journey into yourself and beyond with her uncanny knack of speaking right to your soul and showing you how to give yourself what your heart so greatly longs for.

Answers to your retreat questions.

  • The A&F retreats are for all levels of yogis. The yoga instructors teach in a way that caters to all levels using modifications for those who are newer to the practice and offering options for more seasoned yogis. In the end, it’s not about mastering any pose or pushing your body - an "advanced" yogi is honest with where they are physically and mentally - meaning they can listen to their body and know when to hold back and when it is safe to invite challenge.

  • Payment plans are dealt with on an individual basis. If this would help make a retreat experience possible for you, please contact me and let me know your interest in a payment plan and we can discuss options!

  • The retreat experiences invite deeper spiritual exploration but no religion is preached. I, Allison, am a Christ follower, and living from a place of spiritual depth is how I experience the world around and within me. I may share parts of my story in my teaching but individuals from any spiritual background are welcome! There is always beauty and truth to learn from one another.

  • Some retreats are open to men along with women. It often depends on the accommodations or theme of the retreat. If it is open to men, you will see that listed on the retreat page.

  • Booking flights are on each individual to organize. Retreat time frames are listed for you to determine the best times to arrive and depart.

  • Absolutely! Non-participants are always welcome. All classes are optional and there are plenty of other experiences for them to enjoy. Even if they want to lay on a yoga mat to receive the meditation without participating in the movement, that is fine.

  • Morning sessions are more invigorating classes using a Vinyasa style. Evening sessions are more restorative and relaxing.

  • Sign up by using the link on any of the retreat pages. You will fill out the form and note your payment option (non-refundable deposit or full payment) from the drop-down menu. You can choose to Venmo or Zelle the payment after the form is filled out to secure your spot. You will then receive an official confirmation and welcome email.
