A Four-Day Consciousness
& Self-Discovery Intensive
January 28th-31st, 2027 | Bradenton, Florida
Shaman's Journey is an immersive, four-day exploration of consciousness, perception, and the extraordinary potential of self-discovery.
Building upon the foundation of Awakened Warrior, this intimate experience invites you to examine the stories you've inherited, question familiar patterns, and explore who you might become when you begin seeing yourself through a different lens.
Through ancient wisdom, modern transformational practices, and powerful experiential learning, you'll discover opportunities to expand your awareness and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Sound and sensory experiences: Engage with immersive practices designed to support reflection and relaxation.

Every experience is designed to invite exploration rather than prescribe what you should discover.

The journey continues. Are you ready to discover what lies beyond the familiar?
***Enrollment is limited to Awakened Warrior graduates.***
One of the questions people ask themselves when they're considering The Awakened Warrior is: "Who else has chosen this path?" What kinds of people invest three days in this work? Will they fit in? It's a fair question.
The answer continues to humble and inspire me because, time and again, the people who choose The Awakened Warrior are individuals who have already accomplished remarkable things... yet still believe there is another level of growth, awareness, and purpose waiting to be discovered.

Matt Murphy has always refused to fit into a single box. He's an accomplished Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Judo practitioner (Black Belt in each), an IT professional, a drummer, a writer, an amazing yogi and one of the most thoughtful storytellers/philosophers I know.
Here's what he had to say afterward:
"This program has lots of deep diving and highly interactive modules to explore your past, your present, and the future that you wish to author. The courses are very well thought out, and a lot of care and spiritual depth has been put into their creation."

John Williams has worked in the music industry, traveled the world, built success in real estate, and became a Master Coach with Jack Canfield. He's spoken on countless stages, mentored others, and reached a place in life where he no longer has to work. Yet he still chooses to grow. That's one of the things I admire most about him.
John brought wisdom, humor, kindness, and a grounded presence to our Warrior tribe. He asked thoughtful questions, encouraged others, and reminded us that growth doesn't have an expiration date.
One of the greatest compliments I can receive is when someone like John says: "I truly recommend attending this immersive experience as I have in the past. Your future life will thank you."
Martha's Pino’s story began in Cuba. In 1991, she came to the United States carrying little more than knowledge, determination, and a vision for a different future. Over the next three decades, she built Viamar Homes, a real estate development company dedicated to creating affordable, thoughtfully designed homes. Martha has generated over $68 million in sales, authored books, produced more than a thousand online broadcasts, and continues to mentor entrepreneurs and real estate professionals throughout her community.
After the immersion, Martha shared these beautiful words:
"The Awakened Warrior was very transformational for me. It made me answer questions about myself that I had been avoiding for a long time. Better yet, it helped me embrace who I am and who I continue to become. Thank you, Nicole. I am very grateful, my friend."
Casey Chapman is a gifted Metaphysical Minister who is currently pursuing her doctoral studies in Metaphysical Theology. While her credentials are impressive, what I appreciate most is who she is as a human being. She brings wisdom without ego. Strength with kindness. A smile that is contagious. And a calm, grounded presence that helps people feel safe enough to grow.
After graduating Warrior Casey’s words were simple but incredibly powerful “A professional team that delivers on their promises.”
I am also incredibly proud to announce that Casey has decided to join our leadership team and will be helping us facilitate our Fall, 2026 Awakened Warrior Immersion.

Our Top 6 FAQs
What is The Awakened Warrior Retreat?
Awakened Warrior is a 3-day self-mastery retreat and immersive training experience in Parrish, Florida. It is designed for people ready to recognize and interrupt limiting patterns, strengthen resilience, regulate their internal state, and create lasting change through conscious action.
The experience integrates yoga, breathwork, mantra meditation, Vedanta-based self-inquiry, Ayurvedic principles, nervous system regulation, experiential exercises, and time in nature. No prior yoga or meditation experience is required.
No. This immersion is for anyone who recognizes they are living inside conditioning loops and is ready to change that.
Yoga teachers often attend because they value depth and discipline, and the 22 CE hours add professional value, but they are not the focus of the room.
This is about self-authorship, not certification.
Is this for Yoga Teachers only?
What if I am new to mantra meditation?
Perfect. No prior experience is required.
You will be taught a classical, accessible mantra-based practice and guided step-by-step. This is not about performance—it’s about direct experience and consistency.
Experienced practitioners will deepen. New practitioners will build a solid foundation.
What is the physical intensity level?
Moderate and accessible. There are daily activities (some in nature) and yoga, but this is not a physically demanding retreat or fitness-based program.
The emphasis is on:
nervous system regulation
breath practices
stillness
sustainable practice
All movements can be modified. You are expected to participate but not to push beyond your capacity.
Come prepared, but not overloaded.
Bring:
Comfortable clothing for movement and sitting
Any personal items (snacks, medications etc.) that support your focus and rest
Water bottle
Everything else is provided. More importantly: come willing to be present, engaged, and honest with yourself.
What should I bring?
What is the refund/cancellation policy?

This container is built on commitment, both yours and mine.
I’m Nicole Skaggs, and I've spent my life studying one question: What actually helps people change?
That question has taken me through yoga, Ayurveda, neuroscience, meditation, leadership training, and decades of working with people from every walk of life.
Enlightened Tribe grew from that search.
The through-line is simple: Use what works. Discard what doesn’t.
And build a life that answers to your deepest knowing—
not the noise, not the pressure, not the old scripts.
