The Power of Awe

From November 9 to 16, 2024

Awakening our sacred relationship with nature and ourselves.

More than ever, we need to reconnect to the most powerful of all human emotions: the emotion of Awe. This is because Awe is a prosocial emotion, in which we feel more connected, open-hearted, and caring toward others and all life on earth. Awe is in you and surrounds you all the time, but most of us don’t know how to access it. Awe experts, Dr. Michael Amster and Aylana Zanville, invite you to discover the beauty and awe of Mexico for this weeklong transformative retreat with rejuvenating yoga/movement, mindfulness, self-discovery, and plenty of free time for adventures and rest.
