“I decided to take part in Warrior Retreats 1 because I was at place in my life where I felt the need to seek something more than what I was surrounded by on a daily basis. I saw people who had so little and loved so much and when I re ected on my own life, I saw that I had so much and loved so little. I was truly awakened. Returning with Warrior Retreats 2 challenged me to go deeper in my self-discovery journey and showed me how could I be of service to the people of Peru. I learned more about human compassion than I could have ever imagined, showing me that helping others to see their self worth in life was my purpose. My biggest takeaway from both trips is that you can’t receive what you want until you give what you have.”

“This was so much more than a trip to another country for me. It was a journey deep into my mind, body, and soul. Everyday broke through yet another layer within myself as I discovered levels of inner strength, courage and commitment that I didn’t even realize lived inside of me already. I cleared so much emotionally and spiritually, which allowed me to return with a heart that was more open than ever, and a clear vision of my purpose in life. I am forever grateful for such an enriching experience.”

“My experience with Warrior Retreats was definitely one for the books! I was the youngest person of the tribe at 20 years old, as well as this was my first time traveling abroad. I was definitely uncomfortable and vulnerable but as Branden Collinsworth says, “it’s when you’re uncomfortable, you grow the most.” Warrior Retreats has jump-started my growth into becoming one bad ass warrior and I couldn’t re-create this experience if I tried. The emotional, spiritual, mental, & physical growth you see within yourself and your tribe is truly heart warming and incredible. The things that happen in those 8 days are mind altering and just more than anyone could ask for.”

I found my true purpose and passion on this Warrior Retreat trip. I am forever grateful and thankful to be around so many great and like minded individuals that were also on a path to finding their true calling. From the rich cultural experiences, to the beautiful sacred lands of Peru, and the emotional & spiritual growth I received on this trip I am now actively participating in helping to bring this experience to others. I joined the I Am Warrior project as a full-time participant.

Warrior retreats is an experience filled with love, service, & pushing limits. From falling in love with the community to serving the less fortunate in hospitals and schools. I pushed my limits and helped others do the same. We arrived as a peer group and left as a tribe. Thank you Warrior Retreats!

For me, the true definition of a Warrior is someone who feels emotion, but has learned to navigate so that the outcome is simply a reflection of self mastery.  This is what I learned during my experience with Warrior Retreats.  Preparing for my first trip to Peru, I set the intention to open my love space.  I wanted to give more love, to receive more love and this is exactly what I accomplished.  More importantly, the friendships that were cultivated are the main reason why I recommend Warrior Retreats.  I shared stories, laughs, tears, joy and parts of myself that were vulnerable.

Over the last few years I have been struggling with what my purpose is in life and I didn’t seem to understand why I couldn’t figure it out. Warrior retreats allowed me to shed layer by layer, uncovering what was blocking me from tapping into my greatness and exposing who I really am before I was told who I was suppose to be. By being surrounded by inspiring individuals, consistently enduring physical challenges, embracing vulnerability in a foreign environment and digging to the greatest depths of my soul, Warrior Retreats gave me exactly what I needed, and more, in order to lead a fulfilling and authentic life.

My experience with warrior retreats was life changing in many ways. Peru exudes a special kind of magic, and the men, women and children all carried it in their hearts. They accepted me- a complete Stranger with open arms and a warm smile. The culture and simple way of living inspired me to live in a more meaningful and minimalist way. My time spent with terminally ill children truly opened my eyes to the injustices that I am not privy to witness in the United States and it made me realize how precious a human life truly is. I spent extended time in the rain forests of the Amazon where The energy was electric, magnetic, and took me to a trance. Come to Peru with no expectations and watch how your life changes forever.

One of the things I wanted to do was travel on my own and meet amazing people who will push me beyond my limits. Warrior retreats did exactly that and so much more. We tapped into reality through the Peruvian culture & community work where we learned how important it is to be present and grateful for what we have in our lives and to not let fear hold us back from what we are meant to be in this world.  Warrior retreats was an eye opening and life changing experience. I am beyond blessed to have discovered myself in such a magical and spiritual place.
