What
Please join us at the Awake & Aware Retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona.
3 days of live immersive experience with world-renowned instructors.
You will learn how to:
✓ Build awareness
✓ Accept discomfort and distress in the moment
✓ Find increased joy at work and at home
✓ Re-calibrate your mindset
✓ Cultivate self-compassion
✓ Articulate your professional purpose and ways to put that into action
✓ Mitigate burnout, stress, apathy, and disconnect
Last year, this conference created a bubble, a magical bubble in which our everyday lives kind of disappeared. We were able to concentrate on a unique set of mindsets, learning activities, and self-development exercises. When I got back and was talking with another faculty member, Erica, we were like, “We don’t want to let this die!”
The fee gets you:
- The conference: 3 days of the best learning in this space that I have ever encountered
- It will get you meals (probably all meals: snacks, dinner, lunch, breakfast – can’t promise breakfast, but almost certainly we’ll be able to do all breakfast too).
- CME – 20 hours of AMA Category 1 or Nursing CEU
You’ll still be paying your hotel and hopefully, we will all be staying at the same hotel where we are running the event (a big part of what we want to foster is being able to see everyone, but you won’t be locked into that. And you’ll have to buy your own travel.
We’re doing this in Scottsdale, Arizona (the reasons are 1. it’s super nice in the winter, 2. it will allow the people who were locals to the original Awake and Aware in Bend, Oregon to just take a direct flight. 3. it’s beautiful, there’s nature, there’s gorgeous stuff there.)
Why
Some things just don’t translate over Zoom. Learning Awake & Aware skills in person, surrounded by a community of like-minded peers, is a force multiplier.
Whether you’re facing burnout, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to reach your next level, this is your chance to build skills to thrive, perform at your peak, and live with intention.
There’s no better time to invest in yourself!
