“There’s a need for bringing yoga back to its roots of the cycle of life. Even a class is based off of death and rebirth… and that is so clearly seen in nature.” -Kelsey Brown, Awaken Retreats

Kelsey Brown and Preston Slaughter are on a quest to help people awaken their innate bond with Mother Nature and discover a deeper relationship with themselves.  Community, movement, exploration, and reciprocity are at the heart of every trip they lead.

In this episode, Jamie, Preston, and Kelsey chat about how Awaken Retreats began with an idea on a hike and has transformed into their life's mission. A must-listen for anyone with wanderlust!
