Talk to us and get a feel for what camp could do for you.
You are already perfect, always evolving.
You are passionate and curious. You want the most out of life. You want to express yourself fully. You crave real connection. You are ready to value yourself and train the capacities you need. You are ready to experience a whole human fitness that you didn’t know was possible. (You are ready for change, you know the old ways aren’t working, and you need an emotional ass-kicking, but in a great way)
Move beyond your unconscious conditioned patterns and run experiments with the themes active in your life. The community of fellow students and facilitators will guide you toward practices, questions, and your own inner senses as you test out what it means to be fully yourself. (Fuck around and find out! Get it all wrong and try again, run tests, ask questions, and see what happens.)
Use games based in improvisation, theatre, and directed attention to access deeper connection, fullness, and joy in your life. Even as we delve into serious terrain, we remember our playfulness.
Well, sort of. Sleepawake focuses on emotional and relational wellness, but does not provide medical care or professional mental health services. We welcome applicants with mental health diagnoses, but use the application process to check that it's a mutual fit.
Sleepawake is not religious. Religion is, of course, welcome.
Sleepawake is a substance-free camp, not because we think drugs are outright bad, but because they can alter the way people interact with their internal emotional landscape, often numbing or disconnecting us from ourselves. Sleepawake also uses confidentiality, as it is a container space for the people attending. There are other agreements that we require applicants to accept in order to attend. For more information, feel free to contact us.
We don't want financial constraints to be a barrier if this program is a fit for you. The full tuition cost is $7,495 per student. Financial aid is available.
Sleepawake doesn't use a specific program, modality, or theory of practice. Instead, it uses many! The combined experience of our team allows us to embrace all sorts of practices and use them in tandem.
