Details of this retreat
The Awākend Athlēta Experience
Unite with Awākend Athlēta to fully EMBōDY your life beyond your current reality. To uncover and empower the inner strength that lies within each and every one of us in mind, body and spirit.
True embodiment isn't a luxury — it is your birthright, a gift each of us was given simply by being. Join us to still the mind, awāken & strengthen the body and to connect to the magic that exists all around you and beyond you. Unite with Awākend Athlēta to breakthrough to the vast world of abundant possibilities for your future. To become the author and creative designer of your life and to step into 100% radical responsibility for your happiness and joy!
With over a decade of curating holistic wellness retreats, Awākend Athlēta has mastered the art of holistic transformation. We do not seek to fill your mind with information you already know, rather we reprogram you at the deepest level through somatic experiences that are 100% guaranteed to create a lasting positive shift in your life!
During this personal transformation, the experiences we take you through are deeply intentional and carefully curated designed to go to the root of the change, to the belief itself. We have taken into consideration every step along the journey, empowering you from the moment you say yes to the transformation and continue to provide encouragement and support you long after your departure.
THE QUESTION WORTH ASKING
What if one belief has been quietly shaping everything?
Your confidence. Your health. Your relationship with your body and your loved ones. Your inner peace. Your sense of purpose. Your vision of what is possible. Most people go their entire lives without ever discovering the false “truth” that has been quietly running the show — holding them back from the awākend person they were created to be.
One simple shift in belief can change an entire life. It can change the way you see yourself. The way you show up. The way you lead, live, and love.
If one belief can change a life, imagine what discovering yours could do for you!

Directions
ARRIVING BY PLANE
Book your flight to the closest airport to Boquete, Enrique Malek Airport in David (DAV), an hour-long flight from Panama City, Panama.
Transfer to and from the airport is available upon request for $45. It is a 45-minute ride to the retreat location.
There are two airlines that fly from Panama City to David, Copa & Air Panama. If you arrive in Panama City at Tocumen International Airport (PTY) and are flying to David with Air Panama, you will need to take a taxi to Albrook Marcos A. Gelabert Airport (PAC), which is around 25- 45 minutes away, depending on the time of day and may take additional time if traffic is backed up. If you are flying Copa, you will depart from the same airport.
You should allow at least 3 hours between landing at Tocumen International Airport (PTY) and getting to Albrook Marcos A. Gelabert Airport (PAC) or bus station because of customs, immigration, and the journey within Panama City.
Eight major US cities offer direct, cheap, daily flights to Panama City: Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando. You can also fly directly from Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, and other locations around Europe.
Panama City, Panama, and San Jose, Costa Rica are the same distance from Boquete, so we suggest checking prices for both locations, but be aware that flights to David from San Jose are less frequent and usually route through Panama City. If you plan to take the bus, San Jose could be the cheaper option.
We can arrange private shuttles from your arrival airport in Panama City directly to Boquete for 450 USD. You will walk off the flight to find your very own bilingual tour guide waiting for you with a sign bearing your name. No taxis, no airport transfers, no hassles. And, you can make stops along the way whenever you would like! To book a transfer, contact us today.
