Awakening Weeklong Intensive


Awakening: A Weeklong Intensive for Extraordinary Transformational Growth

To be offered in Summer 2024—exact dates coming soon!

This life-changing program has supported thousands of participants, from beginners to master teachers, in catalyzing and accelerating healing, transformational growth, and awakening consciousness. The Awakening Training supports each participant’s individual journey to embody and actualize their unique gifts to the world. Transformations occur physically, emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually, leading to the deconstruction of fear-based behaviors and cultivating evolutionary ways of being. Participants awaken to their essential selves with Breathwork, guided meditation, movement meditation, self-inquiry, dreamwork, experiential work, didactic teaching, intuitive transmissions, and teachings from the world’s wisdom traditions.

Awakening is facilitated by Inspiration’s Spiritual Director Jessica Dibb and a team of Inspiration Teachers who are internationally certified Breathworkers, and it is held at Inspiration Sanctuary, a unique, private, and sacred setting embedded in a 1900 acre wildlife preserve, 25 minutes from Baltimore Washington International Airport.

Wherever you are on your journey, you can expect to:

  • Access love, wisdom, and presence with every breath
  • Deconstruct patterned behaviors and constraints  
  • Step fully into wholeness, spaciousness, and possibility 
  • Experience your essential self without argument or hesitation 
  • Embody unconditional joy and connection 
  • Expand your perceptions of reality 
  • Cultivate an emergent, evolutionary way of being in every moment of life

For over 30 years, thousands of people’s lives have been transformed by learning to experience unconditional love, inner guidance and embodied presence in each moment, with every breath.

Awakening is the primary class of the School. It promotes grounding and expansive opening. People at any stage of inquiry – from beginners to master teachers – have taken this course to create rapid holographic paradigm shifts in their lives.

This powerful eight-day program promotes profound personal growth and transformation. Awakening is tailored to support each participant’s journey in order to enhance their personal life experiences through awakening every sense, feeling and thought. Each person discovers the delight of BEING themselves fully; how to access love, wisdom, and presence though every breath; and how to bring their unique gifts to their lives and to the world.
