Celebrating the many faces of awakening

What happens when leading spiritual teachers join together with renowned healers, musicians, poets, yogis, dancers – and you – to accelerate personal transformation and spiritual awakening? We are collectively initiated into greater openness, authenticity, and flow. The Wake Up Festival is an opportunity for such turbo-charged experiences of initiation, featuring more than 30 presenters over the course of 5 immersive days in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Personal transformation is accelerated through:

• The presence of powerful spiritual teachers—such as Jack Kornfield, Adyashanti, Tara Brach, and Reggie Ray—pioneers and trailblazers who are on fire with awakening and transmit that flame to us
• The power of community—joining with other people who are in the process of awakening who support us in our unfolding and expand our ability to give and receive love
• The beauty that is expressed through inspired poets and writers—such as David Whyte, Anne Lamott, and Mark Nepo—and the images and words they offer that open passageways to our own depths and courageous hearts
• Ritual—featuring ritual leaders and shamanic teachers like Sandra Ingerman, we will invoke seen and unseen forces to support our process of awakening. Additionally at the 2013 Wake Up Festival, Matthew Fox will lead us in a 3-hour “Cosmic Mass” specifically designed for the purpose of opening our hearts to all experience—the beautiful, the difficult, and the transcendent.
• Celebration—allowing ourselves to fall into ecstatic music and dance to discover the boundless dimension of being

The Wake Up Festival is an acknowledgement that there is no “one way” to spiritual awakening; we each have to find the way that is true and authentic for us. Here is a chance to celebrate our human uniqueness while at the same time meeting in a shared experience of open-heartedness. Come join us in 2013, and we can explore waking up together!
