The working idea

A living community designed to cultivate the conditions for meaningful work, human development, and genuine connection.

For founders, creators, entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven professionals seeking a fertile environment to build meaningful work, cultivate authentic relationships, and grow alongside others.

01

An intentional fertile space

Where you live shapes how you think, create, and relate. Every part of Awake is designed to support meaningful work and human development.

02

Creation & life, integrated

Live alongside founders, artists, entrepreneurs, educators, and creators - all actively building their next chapter.

03

Daily events & programming

Quiet mornings, focused work, and a culture that respects attention. Momentum grows when distraction doesn't.

04

Community that accelerates growth

Conversations become collaborations. Shared meals become friendships. Living together creates opportunities no networking event can.

05

Work and wellbeing, integrated

Movement, nourishing food, nature, creativity, and deep work belong in the same life - not separate calendars.

06

Freedom with rhythm

Enough structure to support your progress. Enough freedom to make each day your own.

07

Nature as a catalyst

The rainforest, rivers, gardens, and wildlife aren't destinations to visit. They're part of your daily rhythm and a catalyst for clarity, creativity, and wellbeing.

08

Build your next chapter

Whether it's a company, a book, a healthier life, or a new direction, this is a place designed

Why Awake

Learn by doing. Build what lasts. Create Impact.

I

Awareness

Time and space to notice what matters, what is changing, and where your attention is needed.

II

Embodiment

Movement, breath, and rest that bring you back into your body, without turning practice into performance.

III

Action

A daily rhythm that helps you move from intention into practice, and from ideas into work you can stand behind.

What we believe

We believe community accelerates growth.

Work, health, relationships, and creativity were never separate pursuits. Awake exists to let them grow in the same place.

The Pacific sets the horizon.

Awake sits where the jungle meets the Pacific, in Uvita on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast. The land is not a backdrop. It sets the pace of the work itself.
