Unfiltered AWA talks 🎥

Two founders, a camera, and a lot to unpack. 😂

We’re sitting down to talk about everything that happens behind #AWA: the breakthroughs, the challenges, the fuck-ups, and humans being humans.

Because every retreat brings together a whole mix of personalities, emotions, expectations, and needs - from the people joining us to the team making it all happen. And somewhere in that mix, there’s us, figuring it out too.

Just real talk. Real experiences. Real women.

First up: one of our biggest fuck-ups as founders. Starting strong. 🫠💪

Our first 50+ Silver Edition sold out so fast, and you kept asking for more. So we’ve opened a new date. 🌊🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️

This time, we’re heading to the beautiful southern of Costa Rica, for warm ocean mornings, waves shared with new friends, and slow evenings with nowhere else you need to be. 🇨🇷

It’s never too late to begin an adventure. To catch your first wave, follow your curiosity, or do something you’ve wanted to do for years.

All surf levels are welcome. Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll meet you there, with thoughtful coaching, encouragement, and space to move at your own pace. ✨

April 26–May 2, 2027 · A week for women 50+ · Only 11 spots.

Come see what’s waiting for you. Link in bio for more info 👆

We did the math 🤩

77 retreats. 900+ Seasters. 53 countries. 600+ first waves. And nearly 1 in 3 of you coming back for more. 🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️

But the numbers only tell a tiny part of it.

AWA has always been about what happens in between, the courage to come alone, the friendships that somehow feel like home, the first wave you never thought you’d catch, the laughter, the tears, the moments that remind you just how alive you are. ✨

We’re so proud of how far this little idea has traveled, and even more grateful for every woman who has trusted us enough to be part of it.

The best stories are still ahead.

Will yours be one of them? 🤍

“We’ve been thinking a lot about Surf Seasters these past few days.

After six years of creating experiences around the world, we keep coming back to this week. It’s where A Week Awake was born.

Every tradition we have. Every detail we obsess over. Every feeling we hope our guests leave with… it all started here.

This isn’t just another retreat on our calendar. It’s the original AWA experience. The week that shaped everything that came after.

And perhaps what makes it even more special is that you’ll be hosted by us, the founders of A Week Awake. We’ll be there to welcome you, surf alongside you, share meals, late-night conversations, and everything in between, just as we have since day one.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience AWA in its purest form, this is the retreat we’d invite you to.

In less than two weeks, we’ll gather in the place where it all began.

Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.”
