A transformational experience where wellness, culture, and conscious connection meet: hosted by Tori Mister on the coastal marshlands of Darien, GA.
Apply to attend
Awaken & Align is an intimate wellness retreat designed for people entering a new chapter who need space to reconnect with themselves again. Set along the peaceful coastal marshlands of Darien, Georgia, this experience blends gentle yoga flows, breath-centered movement, meditation, and conscious connection to help you uncover what patterns have been keeping you stuck. Each practice meets you where you are, whether you're new or deep in your wellness journey, allowing you to return home with greater clarity about what comes next.
Guests will also enjoy a guided excursion to Sapelo Island, including a cultural tour, nourishing lunch, and a relaxing beach day: a balance of healing, exploration, and connection with the land and water.

Honoring Gullah Geechee heritage
Darien and the surrounding barrier islands are home to the Gullah Geechee people, descendants of enslaved Africans who have preserved their traditions, language, and culture along the southeastern coast of the United States.
In honor of this rich heritage, Friday's dinner is prepared by Gullah Geechee chefs, and Saturday's lunch is included as part of the guided tour and beach day on Sapelo Island: a full day of exploration, history, and connection to the land and water.
