Dear Friends,

On behalf of the entire Retreat of Awakening team, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you. We are truly delighted and honored to have you join us August 8–11 at Camp Cullen for this extraordinary journey of self-discovery, healing, and renewal.

Whether you're coming from nearby or traveling a long way, your presence is deeply meaningful. It tells us - and more importantly, yourself - that you're ready to embrace transformation and awaken to new possibilities, both within and around you. 

Camp Cullen is more than a location; it is a peaceful refuge, surrounded by the beauty of nature and filled with warm-hearted people who are here to support your growth. In the coming days, you’ll be surrounded by kindred spirits, supportive guides, and a nourishing program that includes mindfulness practice, creative expression, Dharma discussions, and heartfelt sharing. 

As you prepare for this experience, I encourage you to pack your curiosity, your courage, and your kindness. Come with an open mind and an open heart. Come ready to share your story, connect with others, and care for yourself in ways that ripple far beyond this retreat. 

Thank you for choosing to come. Wishing you safe travels and see you soon!

With gratitude,

Đầy Trần

Camp Director
