Stage 1 in Portugal
2nd – 8th June 2025. Portugal
Stage 1 – the Initiation
The Awaken as Love Initiation is a journey open to everyone – it begins with a choice to go on an adventure that will expand you beyond the boundaries of your current existence. What will it bring to you? More awareness, more love, more inclusion, more juice to your life and more depth if you allow it.
This first stage is called “Initiation” because if you choose this then all your experiences up til now have led you to this point and you are obviously ready to step into a wider reality – in doing so you enter fresh and new, open to discovering more.
As you step into this journey you will encounter maps that help you understand the larger world and your place in it (this is beyond your imagination), tools which help you to play more fully in this world, embodied experiences which help you to anchor a new reality and finally ongoing resources which help to integrate and incorporate this into your life.
What is this Training?
Your Instructors

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
In fact it is not the next level of consciousness but the one after that which integrates the previous ones which will facilitate real change.
What will I get from this training?
This certificated course will give you practical tools, maps and experiences to be able to embody a deeper understanding of reality, and how to that to engage more fully and live more of your potential.
Supporting this are presence and insights from international facilitators during the week long process, sharing groups to help you connect and express your experience and a 60-page guidebook that help with your continued unfolding.
Tantra Techniques
How can the energy of the raw animal self be raised into higher consciousness, and how can this consciousness descend into the body and manifest world? Really this is a deep intimacy with yourself, with a partner and even throughout a group.
Embodiment practices
It’s one thing to understand with the mind, and something completely different to have a knowing that comes from a deep experiencing of wisdom through the body. Being able to manifest inate creativity into the reality is a skill.
System Reboot
We will be resetting the experiences and patterns in the nervous system of the body. These have framed your experience of this world since birth. Imagine how your life could be filled with more ease, clarity and pleasure!
Shamanic Initiations
We will be perfoming ceremonies that take you outside of the normal sequence of time and anchor in soul peices that have been waiting for this moment.
Integral Maps
As we learn these maps – the whole picture is revealed and we suddenly start to understand where pieces that you were partially aware of fit inside a larger picture of reality.
Wisdom Transmission
Through transmission we will be awakening our higher centres of knowing, expanding into a new operating system and accessing novelty from the cosmos.
How can this advance me working in these areas?
There are a few ways in which this training will support you in your journey as a guide, teacher or practitioner. It is an accredited course from Awaken As Love – you will recieve a certificate on completion and you can state that you have completed this training on your personal biographies.
You will also be eligible to attend the next levels – Deepening & Radicalization to eventually become an Awaken as Love Facilitator.
In addition you will be gaining direct tools that you can then use in your own workshops and practices as well as a deeper understanding about how to work with groups – and meeting a larger international network of practitioners and teachers to create and stay in on-going connection. We routinely give opportunities to Awaken as Love graduates to be part of the festivals we create.
