We want ALL of Southern California to know about Awakened Lifestyle Expo, so WE'RE GOING BIG! Last weekend, our banner took off from John Wayne Airport for a little flight over Newport Beach. When you’re bringing cosmic consciousness, ancient wisdom, somatic healing, and some of the most fascinating leaders on the planet to Orange County…you make sure everyone knows about it! 😉 Did you see all the posters we put up?
OPTION A: Clean the garage, wander through Costco, and spend 45 minutes deciding what to watch on Netflix.
OPTION B: Breathe your way back into your body, enter the Cosmic Stream, channel with crystals, access ancient Egyptian codes, receive a hug from Source Consciousness, and possibly go home with enough crystals to alter the Earth’s gravitational pull.
Honestly, both sound productive.
But if Option B made something inside you whisper, “Tell me more,” keep reading.
(“Normal” is a flexible term around here.)
Breathing is one of those things most of us assume we’ve mastered because we’ve remained alive this long.
But Somatic Activation Breathwork with Mandy Adams goes far beyond keeping oxygen in circulation.
Using conscious connected breathing, Mandy will guide you into the sensations, emotions, and energy held within your body—creating space for release, integration, and empowerment.
In other words, your mind has been running the meeting for years. On Sunday at 11am, your body finally gets the microphone.
Bring a yoga mat and join us on the Behind the Lids Lawn!
These aren’t the essential oils you bought three years ago and forgot in the back of a bathroom drawer.
Cheri Maria Arellano, founder of Divine Light Codes, creates crystal-infused essential-oil elixirs through what she describes as sacred alchemy.
Her Divine Light Essentials™ collection is crafted to support emotional healing, physical vitality, and overall wellbeing.
So yes, you can explore multidimensional consciousness and find something that smells amazing.
Enlightenment is lovely, but enlightenment with a pleasing fragrance feels like an upgrade.
You’ve spent enough time in the mainstream. The traffic is terrible, everyone is arguing, and somebody keeps trying to sell you a supplement while explaining why the world is ending.
During From Mainstream to the Cosmic Stream, Galactic Shaman Debbi Dachinger will lead an experiential journey through the sacred medicine of the Feathered Serpent, Wolf, and Lion—along with the benevolent light of the Lyrans.
You’ll be invited to release identities you’ve outgrown, reclaim lost parts of yourself, restore your authentic voice, and awaken the sovereign creator within.
Saturday at 12:30pm. Turn signal optional.
We will not tell you how many crystals you need. We will only observe that “enough” is a deeply personal and possibly unknowable number.
Anya Starlight of Starlight Transmissions will bring crystals, sound-healing tools, inspirational jewelry, multidimensional healing, and other offerings designed to help you open your heart and raise your vibration.
Will you arrive intending only to browse? Probably.
Will you leave holding a crystal the size of a small appliance because “it chose you”? We respect your journey.
Perhaps you’ve bought crystals because they were beautiful. Perhaps you’ve chosen them because you felt strangely drawn to them. Perhaps you walked into a crystal shop for “one small piece of amethyst” and emerged 40 minutes later carrying a geode that required its own seat belt.
Whatever your experience, Tracee Dunblazier will help you deepen it during Learn to Channel Using Crystals.
This immersive workshop explores how to connect with crystal energy, receive guidance, expand your spiritual abilities, and channel multidimensional information.
It’s happening Saturday at 9:30am. Get there early to get a seat!
Apparently, your crystals have been trying to reach you. You may want to stop sending them to voicemail.
We all have questions.
About our purpose. Our relationships. Our direction. That decision we’ve been circling for six months while insisting we’re “waiting for clarity.”
Oracle Maureen is a master channeler and medium who offers personal spiritual guidance through her connection with Heaven.
Stop by her booth in the indoor marketplace for a reading—and perhaps receive the insight that helps you see your life from a different perspective.
We can’t promise Heaven will agree with your five-year plan.
But it may have some notes.
You don’t need an airline ticket to Egypt for this one.
In The Nile Within, Melissa Minnich, author of High on Life, will explore ancient mystery-school teachings as a way of accessing the consciousness technologies already present within your nervous system, DNA, and energy field.
Her premise is simple but powerful: You were not born empty. You were born encoded.
This session brings together ancient Egyptian wisdom, coherence, frequency, and emotional alchemy to help you move beyond who you’ve been told you are—and reconnect with who you came here to be.
Saturday at 11am.
Cleopatra eyeliner is not required, but we certainly won’t discourage it.
Some hugs are warm. Some are awkward. Some last three seconds longer than anyone expected.
And then there is “The Hug.”
During The Truth of Your Being: An Hour with Source Consciousness, simultaneous channels AJ Cavanagh and Thomas Workman will open a connection with The Guides.
Through meditation, live dialogue, and energetic transmission, participants will be invited to experience “The Hug”—a felt sense of unconditional love from Source that reconnects you with your true nature.
No awkward pat on the back. No wondering who should let go first.
Just an opportunity to feel deeply loved by the consciousness from which you came.
Sunday at 3:30pm in the Gaia Sanctuary.
Spiritual awakening is often marketed as a parade of synchronicities, angel numbers, and peaceful mornings with perfect lighting.
But sometimes awakening is confusing. Sometimes it’s frightening.
Sometimes the structures that once held your life together begin falling away before anything new has emerged to replace them.
In Navigating the Storm: From Spiritual Emergency to Holistic Flourishing, Ted Esser, Ph.D. of Sofia University will explore the delicate line between psycho-spiritual breakthrough and psychological breakdown.
Drawing from 50 years of transpersonal research and practice, Ted will offer grounded frameworks for recognizing spiritual emergency, supporting integration, and navigating intense states of consciousness safely.
Because awakening isn’t always pretty—and people deserve compassionate, practical support when the journey becomes overwhelming.
Sunday at 3:30pm.
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly color-coded plan.
Maybe you’ll come for the breathwork and find yourself holding a crystal while reconsidering your relationship with ancient Egypt.
Maybe you’ll come for the channeling and discover that what you really needed was a grounded conversation about navigating your own awakening.
That’s the beauty of Awakened Lifestyle Expo.
You aren’t being asked to follow one spiritual path or squeeze yourself into one version of what awakening is supposed to look like. You’re invited to explore…and notice what pulls you next.
Call it curiosity.
Call it intuition.
Just follow it.
It’s happening August 22–23 in Costa Mesa, California.
You don’t have to understand everything before you arrive.
You don’t have to believe everything you hear.
You simply need enough curiosity to step beyond the familiar and ask:
What might be possible for me?
Come open minded.
You may leave with answers.
You will almost certainly leave with a crystal.
No one belongs here more than you.
