A 501(c)(3) nonprofit for human flourishing

You know there's more to life.
So do we.

Rewire your nervous system to access the life you know is possible.

2027 dates coming soon · Mendocino, CA

Sleepawake is building the future of human flourishing, from nervous systems up.

I have spent years in therapy (CBT, DBT, TF-CBT). I've done transcranial magnetic stimulation, plant ceremonies, countless reflection and journaling. After Sleepawake, I feel safer with myself, in relationships, and in the world.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Carl Jung

Our nervous systems have all beautifully and intelligently learned to keep us safe, and in doing so have created behavioral “ruts”:

  • The idea of saying "no" without justifying yourself makes you deeply uncomfortable

  • You disappear in groups of people, or perform a version of yourself that doesn't feel real

  • You value others' opinions over your own desires

  • You shut down during conflict, or lash out in ways you later regret

  • The idea of not accomplishing anything threatens your sense of self worth

  • You keep attending healing retreats and programs, never quite feeling satisfied with yourself

Reading this list and thinking “I hate when others do these things but I never do” — that's the pattern talking. It's welcome too :)

Once these patterns are no longer serving you, they can be updated through lived experience, opening space for you to build the life you know is possible.

Upcoming programs

We aren't here to “fix” anything about you. We teach you skills, and provide you the space and community to practice what serves you.

I broke through decades of shame and judgement and found a deep well of unconditional love and acceptance.

I grieved a lifetime of loss. I reconnected with parts of myself I cut off years ago for fear of pain and shame. I found community, new forms of love, and a crystal vision of who I am and what I'm here to do in this life.

I feel more confident and self assured as a leader than after 1.5 years of executive coaching. I don't think I would have learned as much about myself in 10 years of therapy.
Only takes one week to be more myself for the rest of my life. So, so worth it.
