Why Awake and Aware?
You can get a lot of education and training online. There are some things, however, that don't translate in a Zoom call. Learning the Awake and Aware skills in person with a community of like-minded people acts as a force multiplier.
No one is immune from life's stressors. You may be experiencing burnout or overwhelm. How do you build skills to weather the storm?
Perhaps you are doing well yet feel there is something missing.
You want to thrive. You want to perform at your highest level. You want to live and work intentionally. You want equanimity.
There's never been a better moment to invest in yourself.

✓ Build awareness
✓ Accept discomfort and distress in the moment
✓ Regulate your nervous system
