During lockdown, Real Awake started as parties for un••••inated people.
Since then, the focus has shifted away from activism, towards positivity, community, healing, and creating the world we want.
We welcome people who carry good vibes, who don't take themselves too seriously, and aren't going to lecture others about politics.
The Real Awake Community are spiritual people who want to have a fun time, do activities, let their hair down, and chill with other good people.
The weekend contains a lot of variety and balance. A mix of food, music, socialising, ceremony, talks, and retreat style activities.
There's a strong sense of family and teamwork. Everybody brings different skills and talents to the weekend.
Memories, friendships and bonds are made.

Here's what people are saying about the Real Awake Weekend
I am very grateful to join Real Awake. Ben really did an amazing job by organising and prepping everything, and he really looked after us.
It was a great environment to meet other likeminded and beautiful souls. I had a lot of fun, the vibe was very chilled out and deep at the same time, and it was great place of connection. I can't recommend it enough.
Lots of gratitude ❤️🤗

I don't even know how to express what a wonderful, healing, special weekend we just had. I am so grateful to have met you all and I know this is only the beginning of a very special soul tribe journey.
Thank you to for the beautiful workshops, the delicious food, the healing conversations and to Ben for creating a space where we had the freedom to be authentically and expressively ourselves.
I can't wait to deepen relationships with everyone. I'm still tingling this morning with all the love and energy!
Sending so much love to you all

It was such a healing weekend. Lots of a-ha moments. I loved being in a group of like minded people on the path.
It’s the only way I feel - for our own evolution - to be with souls that support, uplift and grow with us. It's so exciting to have this.
Thank you Ben for bringing us all together. You are very talented at this, and thank you everyone for all your gifts and teamwork in the house, and for making my Birthday extra special. One to remember always.

What a lovely gathering!
20+ beautiful souls in a peaceful location. Very heartfelt and inspirational. Gorgeous house, hot tub, and surroundings. Great food, and intriguing lighting.
A weekend of sharing hearts and gifts. Very nourishing and soothing for the soul.
Thank you

I knew Real Awake would be beautiful because Ben, its creator, is an awesome being. But I was still so struck by the warmth of that beauty.
Stepping into the weekend was to step into a haven. Laughing one minute, crying and hugging the next… delicious foods, magical cacao, hot tub, dancing, jamming, meditating and more.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to spend time with such kind, inspiring people and hope to come back again for more.

Real Awake really holds very special medicine for me.
There is something about having it as a 'casual' social weekend, mixed in with deep work, facilitated by those you are socialising with, that brings a sacred experience of community.
I cry more there than anywhere else, I laugh more there than anywhere else. I play and I stand strong. I am seen and I make friends for life. It’s more than a retreat, it’s a tribe.

Real Awake has given me the gift of self-reflection in a beautiful, safe space with the most loving people I have ever met.
I have been to three events, and each time, I have felt so privileged to share space with such amazing people.
I have nothing but admiration for this beautiful creation and its creator and all those who attend who become joint creators.
A truly transformational experience. With love. Thank you

I'm super grateful to have joined the November 2023 Real Awake Weekend.
It was the perfect mix of deep and playful as well as meaningful and enjoyable!
The venue was great - Ben always finds good venues. The other participants were beautiful humans and I made some magical new friends from all over the UK.
I highly recommend finding your way to a Real Awake Weekend and joining us for a deeply connective, memorable and transformational community experience!

I’ve been going to the Real Awake events since the beginning.
The space created is perfect, deep, open and honest with everyone contributing their gifts and talents.
The highest praise I can give is when nobody wants to leave at the end and everyone leaves having gotten exactly what they need.

I had a wonderful time with you all in beautiful Coed. It’s so nice to spend time with such warm, loving people and feel wholly supported and connected. I’m
so glad to have met you all and hope to see you soon. Thank you❤️
Thank you Ben for having me and being so welcoming! It’s very special what you’ve created and I’m grateful to have experienced Real Awake.
I came with an open mind to the retreat and had new experiences and conversations which have had a profound effect on me. These are things which have inspired me and which I will take with me into my life.
I really enjoyed the sense of community that was created and the programme having a balance of workshops and free time, and the space to laugh and cry, and to share and receive. Real Awake allowed me to relax and reconnect with my body and spirit and to connect deeply with others, I’m so happy and grateful for this! 💓

It’s been a wonderful Real awake gathering, my 4th time participating in this conscious cocreated retreat. I’ve been held safely and I feel much more relaxed and myself. It was the best preparation for my next retreat that involved plant medicine. 🙏🏻

My experience at real awake has been wonderful each time, and I really couldn't think of a better way to describe it other than Wonder-Full.
Full of Wonder, magic, love, joy, play and laughter.
Full of presence, silence, reverence, healing, tears and epiphanies.
Full of Music, Dancing, Theatre, Games, swimming and walking
Full of New cultural experiences, ceremonies, rituals and philosophies
Each time I attend, I return home a new person, eager for more experiences. Thankyou Ben and everyone else who attend/facilitate this space 💚

What a beautiful demonstration of the healing, fun and play that can happen when heart centred people get together 😊 Ben has a way of cultivating a community so genuine and authentic and with a deep desire to do the inner work, to heal and grow and then to share this with others. A space that is welcoming of all who want to be and spread peace. I'm already booking my space for the next one!

Real Awake was an incredibly powerful and transformative weekend for me. Everything was meticulously planned, from the beautiful space provided by the landowners to the setup Ben created before our arrival. It felt like coming home. The beautiful surroundings and like-minded strangers quickly bonded us with intense energy, creating a perfect experience.
The workshops were incredibly engaging and moving, aiding in my healing and growth. I discovered practices that resonated with me, which I’ll continue in my daily routine. I also met incredible people who will remain in my life, with some already planning to visit my woodlands up north!
This weekend was exactly what I needed. Moments of profound reflection left me standing firmly in my power, knowing my worth and purpose. I eagerly anticipate future events organized by the wonderful Ben. I can’t thank him enough for creating such a magical, safe space for us to express ourselves authentically. I never wanted to leave! ✨❤️🥰

What a transformational experience! I’ve attended 3 Real Awake Weekends, and each time has been magical on many levels. The balance between masculine and feminine energies, with an equal mix of men and women, is perfect. With around 25 attendees, the intimate setting allows deep personal connections, leaving you feeling connected and full of love. The workshops, led by inspiring and knowledgeable facilitators, are warm and caring. These weekends blend fun and healing and are absolutely incredible.
Since my first retreat, I’ve been captivated and always look out for the next one to mark in my diary. I can’t get enough!
Ben is such a great soul with a kind heart and really cares about how the weekend flows. He makes sure it’s done in such a way that from one thing to the next it flows really well.
I highly recommend it to anyone seeking growth, connection, and a break from the busy life.

Real Awake this summer has been an absolutely incredible life transformative experience. Starting with the wonderful beings that showed up, shared their gifts and held space for one another, to the super delicious organic food and the land that received and grounded us in deep healing, this Real Awake has been one of the best gifts I've received from life this summer.
Thank you Ben for organising, to the land owners for having us and nurturing us with such exquisite cousine from their land and to everyone who came. It was one to remember for ever. Till the next one!

A truly heart centred space filled with love, creativity, friendship and warmth. Somewhere between a private retreat, mini festival and casual group of friends meeting up, it’s a wholesome space to connect and share. Being as intimate as it is, you really have a chance to get to know everyone personally which is great for those who get overwhelmed by big crowds. A balance of ages and genders, diversity and different forms of offerings. Thank you to all for collaborating with their beautiful energies and to Ben for coordinating it all 🙏🏽
