awaken
to who you already are

A women’s retreat experience to reconnect,
reflect, & return to your inner strength,
purpose, & sense of belonging

what is
awaken?

The Awaken Retreat is a women’s retreat program hosted by Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) that brings women together to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and with the deeper spiritual wisdom within.

Through inspiring sessions, creative workshops, wellness practices, and meaningful small-group conversations, the Awaken Retreat offers a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and emerge renewed.

This is not about fixing yourself or becoming someone new.

It is about remembering who you already are.

REFLECTION
Create space to pause, look within, and listen to your inner wisdom.
CONNECTION

Build authentic relationships and feel seen, heard, and valued.

RENEWAL

Restore your body, mind, and spirit in a nourishing environment.

INNER AWAKENING

Deepen your connection to the Divine and your life’s purpose.

Why
Awaken matters?

In the rush of everyday life — as mothers, daughters, professionals, and caregivers — women rarely have the space to tend to their inner world.

Awaken creates that space.

To pause. To breathe. To reflect. To reconnect with what truly matters.

It speaks to a quiet longing many women carry — to feel seen, to belong, and to rediscover a sense of purpose and joy beyond roles and responsibilities.

Women leave not only refreshed, but renewed — with greater clarity, deeper spiritual connection with the Divine, and a stronger sense of their own value.

two ways to experience awaken

national annual retreat

A multi-day immersive experience held at a beautiful destination retreat center.

  • Thursday evening to Sunday morning

  • Women from across the country

  • Full-retreat experience with sessions, workshops, and guided practices

  • On-site childcare for mothers with young children (ages 4 and under)

  • Each year guided by a unique theme that guides the weekend’s exploration (e.g. Rooted in Radiance)

Local one-day retreats

A meaningful, accessible way to experience Awaken in your own community.

  • Hosted by WFWP chapters nationwide

  • One-day format with curated sessions and activities

For women who may not be able to travel, local retreats offer the same heart of Awaken in a more flexible format.

If your local WFWP chapter hasn’t hosted an Awaken retreat yet, reach out, we’d love to help make it happen.

who this is for

The Awaken Retreat is for women of all ages and backgrounds who are ready to invest in themselves.

  • Seeking a meaningful pause from the busyness of everyday life

  • Longing for deeper connection with yourself, the Creator, and other women

  • Navigating a transition or entering a new season of life

  • Curious about your purpose, identity, or inner life

  • Looking for a supportive and authentic community of women

  • “Each session was not only informative but also profoundly empowering — awakening me to my own strength, value, and nature as a woman.”

    National Retreat Participant, 2025

  • “I am leaving today with more sisters of the heart, women I loved deeply the moment I met them. I’m learning to be more gentle with who I’ve been, fully embracing who I am now.”

    National Retreat Participant, 2025

  • “I’ve never really thought about one of the greatest lessons of womanhood in my life… but after reflecting and discussing with someone, I realized how much I’ve grown as a woman. And this was empowering.”

    Local Retreat Participant, Dallas-Fort Worth 2025

  • “I am worthy and I don’t have to be categorized into a box of who I am as a woman. I am complex and that’s alright but I am beginning to understand my place as a woman in this world and my purpose of what and why I serve.”

    Local Retreat Participant, Tempe Arizona 2026
