Sacred Awakening

Sacred Awakening

“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”

As divine beings having a human experience,

In a weekend long communal embrace,

We are all invited to awaken to our innermost essence:

Love.

Ethos:

“This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now” - Alan Watts.

Being.

Together.

Together, being.

In the here and now.

Wholly present to whatever unfolds, we invite you all to come play, explore and connect. Each of you has had a meaningful impact in our lives and we are so honored to celebrate with you as we begin ours together.

Pathos:

Love is the overarching theme, and what brings us all together this weekend. We are love, in body. It is our true essence, the greatest healer, teacher, and where all wisdom resides.

Logos:

Cielos will be our oasis and home for the weekend. It is located in the high desert, one hour north of Ojai, just outside of the stunning Los Padres National Forest. Temperatures can be unpredictable and range from high 80’s to lows in the 40’s. We will send out a suggested packing list to help prepare you, but the survival guide is a good starting reference.

Parking is limited; carpooling is fun and highly encouraged.

Schedule:

Friday we will come together for the first time over libations and a delicious farm-to-table dinner as we drop in, catch up with old friends and make new ones. Arrival is kindly requested no later than 7:00 p.m. for a special welcome ceremony. We highly encourage early arrival to get checked in, find your tent before dark and settle in. Gates close at 9:00 p.m.

Saturday we have curated a program of daytime activities to raise the collective frequency, play, and facilitate connection. At nightfall, we’ll gather for a sacred moment under the stars followed by a ‘Celestial Love’ celebration dinner. Dancing around the fire, epic DJ’s, offerings to awaken the senses and indulge curiosities, and perhaps some surprise performances. High probability you’ll catch sunrise.

Sunday morning we’ll rise, slowly. Nourish our bodies with a delicious farm-to-table brunch. Nourish our souls with a relaxing, rejuvenating sound bath. Finally, a closing ceremony to crystallize all of the magic we created together. We will be hosting all meals. Chef Jacob & team will be providing haute gourmet sustenance for the weekend, nourishing us through the days of our experiential journey. Dietary preferences can be noted upon check-out. Ample libations and refreshments will be supplied, however, you are welcome to bring any provisions you prefer.
