YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS SPECIAL DAY!
Why maria Created this Day Experience:
The more she worked with women she realized that women need an invitation and permission to take time for themselves
She wanted to bring a bit of her fabulous retreat experience and encapsulate it into one phenomenal day
Maria wanted women to create an intentional day of self-awareness so that they could do some deep work and find some inner peace, raise your spirits and shift your total vibe!
Mama Maria, as her closest now call her, wanted an unforgettable experience that women could feel, breathe and embody. This day will be truly one that you will recall time and time again.
There is power in claiming a day for yourself!
I Speak from the heart when I say that
NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNLESS YOU CHANGE
There is power in deciding that we need new standards, create stronger boundaries and decide that this time we will do better
This day is a day that I will carefully craft so that you have time to figure out the answers, to find clarity, to relax and unwind and find space for inner reflection.
My goal is that you leave in some way changed and feeling a total new vibe about you. Every workshop will be designed to help you fine tune what you desire for your life, claim your worthiness and make some boss moves.
Transformation is the goal and you will definitely leave more determined than ever!
This day is for you if you:
Feel like you are striving to survive your life and want to start thriving, live in joy and feel more ease
Want to learn how to activate your peak flow state to level up in all aspects of your daily performance
Have felt disconnected and want to rediscover yourself
May feel your light dimming and want to rekindle your WHY and your passions
End your day/week/month with any kind of overwhelm
Need to escape the daily grind and want to find some inner peace and alignment
Are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, off and feel something needs to shift
Want to learn tools that you can apply in your daily life to feel more empowered, joyous, and alive
Testimonial
As a woman with so much on my plate - running a business, working full time, personal life responsibilities - I was nervous to take time away from my day to day, for fear of falling behind. I was nervous that as I have returned from vacations or breaks in my schedule in the past, I'd be stressed upon my return, burdened with the feeling of wanting to go back to the safety of "time off".
This was not the case.
Instead, retreat slowed me and allowed me to see a calmer, more gentler version of myself.
I left retreat truly feeling more calm and grounded than I believe I have ever felt in my entire life.
No matter what you have been through, Maria is trained and truly gifted in supporting women to not just feel the tough stuff, but to better understand those challenging feelings and in the practice of releasing and moving forward. The journey in retreat is unique and personal, different for each women and powerful nonetheless.
A retreat with Maria won't solve your problems but will instead guide you to learning what is yours to keep and navigate - as well as what is not yours to carry any longer, and, how to let it go. Retreat is a place, I believe, but I also know now that retreat is within each of us and Maria will show you how to come home to yourself. I left retreat dreaming of the next one and cannot wait to further explore the world, and myself, with Maria's guidance, joy and love leading the way.

Testimonial
After meeting Maria at a workshop in Nashville, I made the spontaneous decision to join her retreat in Puerto Rico. Little did I know, this retreat would profoundly transform my life for the better.
Maria’s ability to create a safe and nurturing space allowed me to share thoughts and feelings I had kept hidden for so long, knowing I would be embraced with love and support throughout. The retreat opened my eyes to the incredible strength and value of women coming together. By taking the time to connect on a deeper level, we discovered the priceless lessons and support we can offer one another.
This retreat was exactly what I needed. I returned with newfound confidence and a belief in my power to shape the life I desire. I now see myself with the same love, joy, and beauty that others have always seen in me, which has made my daily life much happier. I am forever grateful for this experience and for the wonderful women I had the honor of growing alongside.

What Women Are Saying
“I have never felt more authentic, free, loved, and accepted in any space in my entire life. I’m walking away feeling lighter, braver, more confident, and also softer than when I walked in. I have a renewed sense of love for myself.
I hope to hold onto what I’m feeling right now and carry this light and energy forward, weaving it into everything I do. While I adored every woman at the retreat, I’m walking away with a few deeply connected soul sisters.
I am forever grateful for you and the safe container you create for women to truly heal, grow, and be seen in community..”

“ The Weekend I Finally Let the Walls Down"
I’m still trying to find the words to describe what just happened to me, but I know one thing for sure I came home a different woman than the one who left.
This past weekend, I attended the Awaken retreat with the incredible and fabulous Maria Brito, and it was the most raw, beautiful, and transformative experience of my life. I’ll be honest, I cried more in those 4 days than I have in my entire life combined. But for the first time, those tears weren't about falling apart; they were about breaking through.
I went into this weekend with walls built sooo high to protect myself, and Maria has this incredible gift for helping you safely crumble them to the ground and turning them into fertilizer for your roots and your soul. She creates a space where you can finally stop pretending, stop "holding it together," and start healing.
I didn’t just find myself this weekend; I found a whole tribe. I walked in as a stranger and left with deep, soul-level friendships. There is something life-changing about being seen and supported by a group of women who are all brave enough to be real and let it all hang out...literally! Come and see what I mean 😍
To every woman reading this: If you are feeling stuck, guarded, or just plain tired of being tired please, do this for yourself. I want every woman I know to experience the magic of Awaken. Maria is a master at what she does, and I finally feel like I’ve woken up to my own life.
If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it girl!! Don't hesitate. Just get your ass up and go! ”

“ I went into the retreat with Maria not knowing what to expect, and walked away transformed in ways I didn’t even realize I needed.
There is something truly magical about women holding space for one another to be vulnerable, seen, and deeply loved. The environment Maria creates is incredibly tender, intentional, and beautiful.
It’s the kind of experience that words can’t fully capture—because how do you put language to something that breathes life back into your soul? ”
