Begin your Journey
Every transformation begins with a first step
Wherever you're starting from, there's a path forward. Here's how to find yours.
Whether you're exploring what it means to coach others, navigating a season of personal transformation, or simply curious about a different way of growing, Awaken offers you a place to start. These are the paths that have helped many people just like you take their next step.
The Awaken Way
The best place to begin if you're new to Awaken
This free 4-lesson mini-course is a genuine experience of Awaken's Love-based approach to transformation. In about two hours, you'll walk the full labyrinth -- the inward journey, the center, and the return -- and discover what it means to trust the Path, not just yourself.
People come to The Awaken Way from many directions: some are exploring coach training, some are in the middle of a major life transition, some found Christi through Holy Rebellion. All of them find something more rich and beautiful than they were expecting.
Introduction to Coaching
Already completed The Awaken Way? Or ready to take the next step?
If you finished The Awaken Way and felt the pull toward holding transformational space for others, this is your next step. In 4 hours of self-paced content, you'll explore the three foundational skills at the heart of Awaken's approach to coaching: listening at multiple levels, embodying the coaching mindset, and evoking awareness through language.
This isn't just a preview of our certification program, it's a real learning experience that stands on its own. And if coach training is where you're headed, it's the natural bridge to our ICF-accredited programs.
Become a Coach
Ready to hold transformational space for others?
Awaken Coach Institute is accredited at all three levels by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Our 125-hour All-In-One Coach Certification Program trains you from day one to hold transformational space for others at the deepest level, proven by our Level 3 accreditation.
We offer our training virtually and through an immersive in-person retreat in Spain. Both pathways work in intimate 12-person cohorts, where you are known, supported, and growing alongside others throughout your training.
If this is calling you, the first step is simple: join us for a live Q&A call and let's explore whether Awaken is the right fit for you.
Go Deeper
Ready to go deeper into your own transformation?
Something is stirring. A hunger for a different kind of belonging. A sense that the containers you've been living in no longer fit. A knowing that Love is calling you somewhere larger.
Christi is currently developing her next intimate 12-month journey for women ready to remember who they are beneath everything they've been taught. A multi-faith circle of holy dissenters, walking the labyrinth together.
This is for the woman who knows she is being called deeper into herself, into the truth of who she is beneath everything she has been taught.
If that's you, join the early interest list and be the first to hear when the journey is ready.
You belong here if you're done with surface-level answers
Awaken Coach Institute was built for people who sense there's a deeper way, to grow, to lead, to hold space for others. People who want transformation that goes all the way down, not just better strategies for the life they're already living.
We are a community of coaches, leaders, and seekers united by four values: Love, Bravery, Trust, and Spiritual Alignment. We are ICF-accredited at all three levels. And we believe that the most powerful thing you can offer another person isn't expertise, it's presence rooted in Love.
Wherever you are in your journey, if depth is calling you, you're in the right place.

I went to Spain for coach training. I came home transformed. The Awaken Coach Institute created a community of incredible humans committed to authentic growth. Those weeks gave me lifelong friends, clarity on my career path, and a renewed connection to what it means to be human. This isn't just coach training. It's a homecoming to who you're meant to be.

Every part of you is worthy to be here and to be present—a powerful message Awaken delivers. I’ve been expanding and I feel more capacity to love. Awaken lets people expand to learn all they are created to be.

I was doing this as an exploration to determine if this was something I might want to jump into. After the first week of training, I really feel like there's a place for me in coaching, and that part of that is a change in me as well. The generosity you all have shown me, and the things I've learned from you, thank you, all of you. Each of you has contributed something, and that has been powerful to me. You've cared for me, and you've reached out to me, and it's touched me! I really feel like all that is changing me, so thank you. Thank you.
