wellness retreat host & executive coach

‍Hi, I’m Arin — and I created Awae Retreats for people who are craving something deeper than a vacation.

Awae is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect through intentional travel, meaningful community, and immersive wellness experiences that stay with you long after you return home.

Awae is for you if...

You're ready for a reset - not just a break. ‍

You may be navigating a transition, craving deeper meaning, or simply longing for rest that actually restores.

Awae is for those who want to travel with intention… and return home renewed.

If something in you is ready to pause, I'd love to welcome you.

why I created awae retreats

At some point, many of us realize that life becomes full quickly. Work, responsibilities, constant input, caregiving, striving — even the good things can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves.

I created Awae because I believe transformation doesn’t always happen by doing more.Sometimes, it happens when you step away — into a new landscape, a slower rhythm, and a space where you can finally hear yourself again.

Awae Retreats was born from that belief:
that place, presence, and intention can open the door to lasting renewal and clarity.

what an awae retreat feels like

Awae retreats are designed to offer more than rest.

They are thoughtfully curated experiences that support:
- Life and professional renewal and clarity
- Deep restoration and nervous system calm
- Connection — with yourself and others
- Reflection, intention, and meaningful growth
- Beauty, presence, and spaciousness through travel

Each retreat blends wellness practices, cultural immersion, and gentle structure — with plenty of room to simply breathe.

Awae is not about hustle or escape. It’s about coming back. Intentional travel meets inner renewal.
‍
A retreat experience designed around how you want to feel:
- lighter
- clearer
- more connected
- more like yourself again

The most powerful retreats aren’t just beautiful — they’re transformative. Guests consistently describe Awae as deeply personal, grounding, and life-changing, aligning strongly with the brand promise.
