06/11/2019 thru 06/17/2019, Awakeland Portugal
The Awaken as Love 7-day retreats are some of the most the most powerful ways to move out of just surviving life and begin to really thrive in it. Not only will you embrace your authentic nature and passion but also how to bring this to life in an ever more complex and overwhelming world.
They reveal the “Master Map of Existence” – the full landscape of how reality fits together, that you might not have realised until now.
Stage 1 – the Initiation
The Awaken as Love Initiation is a journey open to everyone – it begins with a choice to go on an adventure that will expand you beyond the boundaries of your current existence. What will it bring to you? More awareness, more love, more inclusion, more juice to your life and more depth if you allow it.

This first stage is called “Initiation” because if you choose this then all your experiences up til now have lead you to this point and you are obviously ready to step into a wider reality – in doing so you enter fresh and new, open to discovering more.
As you step into this journey you will encounter maps that help you understand the larger world and your place in it (this is beyond your imagination), tools which help you to play more fully in this world, embodied experiences which help you to anchor a new reality and finally ongoing resources which help to integrate and incorporate this into your life.
Your Facilitators
(Lead Facilitator) James’s passion is to help call forth our human potential and our soul. His weave brings together more than 19 years experience in techniques, practices and information from the cutting edge of Neuroscience, Tantra, Biodanza, Shamanic & Energy Work, Integral theory and Taoist practices to create a spirituality that is rooted in the body. His evolutionary approach is to work on all lines, levels, states and parts of ourselves in bringing forth our fullest potential.
(Co-Facilitator) Riya is an artist. Known as a singer, activist but also awakening &sex coach, tantrica, vision quest guide. Trained by Amazonian Medicines, she is very connected to earth medicines and ceremonial spaces as well as to Tantra in the integrated version- initiated by Kaula Heart of All, and influenced by the Baul Mystics but mostly her Beloved James and their relationship. She travels around the world, using her voice for singing and speaking, sharing her gifts with groups.
She is dedicated to spirituality as much as she is to her “down to earth” life, contributing to the evolution that is happening now and as part of it she wants to bring balance and harmony in all the aspects of hers and others lives.
In this initiation, you will be entering into the worlds of Tantra, Shamanism, Integral Theory Embodied Spirituality. It is a journey taken by those on a personal path of growth and also who are already facilitators, practitioners or looking to become so – as it will add a deeper understanding and skillset to your work. Mainly it is for those who hear the call to consciously take part in the evolution of humanity – starting with themselves!
Path to Facilitation
It is also part of the path to becoming a facilitator in Awaken as Love. Those who have completed stage 1 and 2 will be eligible to attend the Awaken as Love facilitators training – which will give you direct practice and feedback in teaching the stuctures of the Stage 1 initiation – this includes all the important details to mention, music and PDFs with the structures. Group evaluation and video feedback will be used to help bring out your inner guide. On completion of this you will be able to co-teach the Awaken as Love Stage 1 process with a Lead Facilitator who would help guide you in your first facilitating role and you will be added to the Awaken as Love website as part of the expanding team.
The first AAL facilitators training will be held in Portugal in 2020 – more details will be announced about this soon.
