Your Experience Facilitators

Your body remembers what your mind has tried to forget.

The tension in your shoulders.
The shallow breath.
The way your heart races when it should be still.

That’s not random.

That’s a system running on survival.

You’ve held the line long enough.

For your family. For your team.
For everyone but you.

This retreat is your line in the sand.

A place to drop the armor.
To move what’s stuck.
To come back online—nervous system first.

We use the breath to cut through the noise.
The music doesn’t play in the background—it meets you in the middle of your process.
And the body finally gets to finish what it started.

No performance. No bypassing.
Just real work, real warriors, and space to finally feel.

The Journey

A 4-day immersive progression into breath, body, and full-system restoration.
This work is designed to move trauma, reorganize the nervous system, and return you to a state of clarity and sovereignty.

You arrive on sacred ground.
The ocean’s in your ears. The nervous system starts to release.

Organic dinner. Opening ceremony. Live breathwork guided by Leland + Liquid Bloom.

You end the night with a headset breath into sleep.

Yes – Lock In My Spot

A Live Sonic Journey with Liquid Bloom

Liquid Bloom, the world-electronic project of producer and sonic alchemist Amani Friend (Desert Dwellers, Desert Trax), will be weaving live music throughout the entire retreat experience.

His sets are living, breathing compositions—tuned to the energy in the space.

Each session is supported by soundscapes rooted in ancient traditions and built with precision: shamanic instrumentation, ethereal vocals, and modern electronic textures that move energy and open access to deeper states of presence.

From sunrise meditations to sacred ceremonies and peak breathwork journeys, Liquid Bloom performs live—composing in the moment, attuned to the collective rhythm of the room.

Breath Meets Sound:

Amani has collaborated with artists including Poranguí, Mose, Deya Dova, Ixchel Prisma, and Savej, and has produced work featuring Ram Dass, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Paul Stamets.

He’s held space at Boom Festival, Envision, Rainbow Serpent, Ozora, Colours of Ostrava, and now—here, with us.

“The nervous system softens when it feels safe. This music helps it remember how.”

If you’ve never experienced breathwork with this level of sonic presence, it will change how you relate to music—and yourself.

Meet Your Facilitator:

I’ve rebuilt my body more than once.
I’ve come back from paralysis. From addiction. From cancer. From loss I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

But the hardest thing I’ve ever done wasn’t walking again after doctors said I wouldn’t.
It was learning how to live in my body—without going to war with it.

For years, I survived on discipline and drive.
On the outside, I looked solid. Inside, I was spinning.

Founder of The Willful Warrior

It wasn’t mindset work that saved me.
It was learning how to regulate my nervous system.

Breathwork gave me clarity when I was drowning in chaos.

It helped me feel again—after years of numbing everything down just to make it through the day.

This retreat is what I wish existed when I needed it most:
A place to reset your system.
To be seen without having to explain.
To rebuild with tools that actually work.

If you’re carrying too much and don’t know how to put it down—This is where you start.

Let’s Go – I’m Ready to Come Home

You Don’t Do This Alone

No one leaves untouched. No one leaves the same.

This isn’t a silent, solo journey.
You’ll be surrounded by a room full of people who get it—because they’ve lived it.

Veterans. First responders. Coaches. High performers.
People who are strong in all the ways that don’t show up on paper.

You’ll sweat together. Breathe together.
Eat, cry, scream, and laugh in a tribe that knows the cost of carrying it all—and the power of letting it go.

The Awaken Retreat: Full Retreat Experience

Space is limited to 90 people.
Once it’s full, it’s full.

Important NOTE: Lodging and meals are not included and must be booked separately through Amansala after checkout. (You’ll get the link right after you register.)
