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.
REFLECTIONCreate space to pause, look within, and listen to your inner wisdom.
CONNECTIONBuild authentic relationships and feel seen, heard, and valued.
RENEWALRestore your body, mind, and spirit in a nourishing environment.
INNER AWAKENINGDeepen 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.
