“Christina did an amazing job of connecting all of us quickly so that we could go deep into areas needing to be awakened and healed. The authentic group sharing provided self revelation on my values and identity that would have otherwise taken me months of counseling to accomplish. I can not say enough about the value of this retreat.”
Your Host
Christina Alston is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Writer, International Speaker, Owner of Eden River Counseling, and Founder of Awakening Retreats. In her counseling practice, she noticed several women were presenting with similar issues, so she created exercises to help them explore the roots of their issues and to rediscover their authentic selves. In order to create a greater impact in a shorter period of time, she developed the Awakening Retreat. She discovered that adding the group dynamic led to an even richer experience. Retreat participants were given resources to help them bring fresh insight and perspectives into their therapy once they returned home. She also found that participants who were not in therapy, were more open to the idea of finding a therapist in order to explore things further. Christina is passionate about wellness and healing of the mind, body, and spirit. She loves hosting retreats that allow her to empower women and witness their transformations.

Testimonials
This weekend has allowed me to better understand who I am. Although I wear many hats, and carry many titles, I now know who I am once all that is stripped away. The retreat made me slow down and face some painful aspects of my life that I ignore or suppress. I had forgotten who God called me to be. Even though it may have been hard to face, I awakened to see that I’m the only one who can allow my values to be compromised. I made some valuable friendships. I learned mechanisms to help me cope when times are difficult. I would recommend this retreat to anyone who is looking to reconnect with themselves and learn valuable tools to heal from past, present, and future trials.
