Last week, we shared 10 reasons to join us at Awakened Lifestyle Expo on August 22-23 in Costa Mesa, CA, but this week, we thought we’d do something different.
We want to invite you to imagine what it will actually feel like to spend a weekend surrounded by curious, open-minded people exploring consciousness together.
Because this isn’t just an event you attend. It’s an experience you’ll remember!
Most conferences ask you to sit quietly in a chair, but Gina Celso invites you to move.
Her Somatic Dance experience on the Behind the Lids Lawn (Saturday at 11am) is an opportunity to release stress, reconnect with your body, and discover what happens when movement becomes meditation. No choreography. No performance. Just music, breath, and freedom. (You may wanna bring sunscreen and a hat!)
Some experiences are hard to explain until you’re in the room.
During Manna Dabholkar’s Beyond the Veil group mediumship experience (Sunday at 2pm), you’ll witness heartfelt moments as messages from loved ones bring comfort, healing, and hope. Whether you receive a personal message or simply observe, it’s the kind of experience people talk about long after the weekend is over.
Feel connected to Lemuria, Atlantis, and early Egypt?
Ken Lloyd’s workshop, Ancient Civilization Codes (Saturday at 12:30pm), will open a field where you’ll reconnect with deeper aspects of human consciousness that may feel familiar. Ken will facilitate a series of energetic activations designed to restore coherence within the body and nervous system while allowing each person’s system to respond to what is most relevant for them.
Come curious.
We’ve been working diligently on a special print edition of Awakened Magazine.
We aren’t ready to reveal the cover just yet, but attendees at Awakened Lifestyle Expo will be among the very first people to experience it. Trust us. You’re going to want to see who’s on the cover!
SWAG BAG: The first 1000 attendees will receive an Awakened swag bag with a special print edition of Awakened Magazine, the limited edition Awakened Wisdom Oracle Deck, and a complimentary one-month membership to Gaia!
One of the most meaningful additions to this year’s Expo is our new Community Groups. Whether you join the Awakening Together group led by Kelly Wagner or Awakening Your Intuitive Gifts group led by Joan of Angels, these aren’t lectures.
They’re conversations…at 12:30pm both days on the Behind the Lids lawn.
They’re a chance to sit in a circle with people asking many of the same questions you’ve been asking...to share your own experiences...and to discover you’re not nearly as alone as you thought.
Sometimes the most meaningful moment of the weekend isn’t on stage, but in a circle.
Have you ever wondered what your energy field might look like?
Visit Meredith Gradishar of Aura Queen of Hearts (in the indoor marketplace) and experience a professional aura photo that captures the colors surrounding you. Whether you’re simply curious or deeply interested in energy work, it’s one of those keepsakes you’ll find yourself looking at again and again. (BTW, this isn’t one of those janky aura photo booths like you see at most expos…Meredith is a freakin’ pro.)
On Saturday at 9:30am, there’s nowhere else you need to be.
Stretch out on the Behind the Lids Lawn as the soothing sounds of crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and other healing instruments drift through the open air. Guided by Dennis Mataviesko and Billy Pinkerton, this immersive outdoor sound bath invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply receive.
Many people describe a sound bath as meditation without effort. Others call it the most relaxing hour of their weekend. However you experience it, don’t be surprised if you leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded than when you arrived.
Bring a yoga mat, blanket, or anything else that helps you settle in comfortably.
Exploring 31 workshops, dozens of vendors, and countless conversations can work up a thirst. Thanks to our friends at The Water Brewery, complimentary purified water will be available throughout the weekend in the indoor marketplace.
Bring your reusable bottle, stay refreshed, and keep exploring. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a weekend feel welcoming.
Want to be part of making the magic happen? We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help welcome guests, support workshops, and create an unforgettable experience for everyone who attends.
In exchange, you’ll receive a complimentary Weekend Pass ($125 value), a behind-the-scenes experience, and the opportunity to meet some incredible people along the way.
Many of our volunteers leave with new friendships that last long after the Expo ends. Click here to volunteer.
Maybe you’ll leave with a crystal.
Maybe a new book.
Maybe an aura photo.
Maybe a new friend.
Or maybe you’ll leave with a fresh perspective that changes the way you see yourself and the world.
Whatever brings you to Awakened Lifestyle Expo on August 22-23 in Orange County, CA, our hope is simple.
That you leave feeling a little more connected, a little more inspired, and a little more awake than when you arrived.
By the way, we’re not trying to build the biggest expo. We’re trying to build the one people never forget. If that sounds like the kind of weekend you’ve been looking for...we’ll save you a spot!
