WHY WE EXIST
To guide our community members along their path of AWAKEning by introducing them to new Providers, Facilitators, Wellness Centers and Religious/Spiritual Traditions. We understand that one shoe won’t fit all feet and that while a personal journey unfolds, seekers need a central place to find the resources for their next steps in it. We believe in creating a space where diversity is celebrated, and individuals can connect deeply, grow spiritually, and contribute positively to society. One Humanity, One Love, One Tribe.

HOW WE LIVE OUR MISSION
By embracing compassion, inclusivity, and respect in all aspects of our community. We provide a supportive platform where the public can explore and integrate diverse spiritual paths, share their experiences, and learn from one another. Our values of integrity, authenticity, and empathy guide our interactions, ensuring that the community feels valued, heard, and empowered.

WHAT WE DO
We connect over 11,000 community members physically located in and around the Chicagoland area to various Providers, Wellness Centers, Events and Religious/Spiritual Traditions via our website and social platforms. Through our commitment to unity and understanding, we strive to unite all ‘Centers of Gravity’ within the Chicagoland spirituality umbrella, fostering a more harmonious world where individuals from all backgrounds can find their Tribe.

Our Founding Beliefs
Regardless of what is happening in the outside world, AWAKE is a place where people can communicate freely, without fear of judgment, and participate in events to improve all aspects of health: physical, emotional, social, psychological, and spiritual. In creating such a community, each member has the opportunity to enhance his/her self-worth while answering the question, “Who am I?” Members can then, in turn, help others to do the same. We are all on our own journey, but when we have the love and support of people walking alongside us, we have the greatest opportunity for growth.
AWAKE: Oneness Tribe was founded on the following beliefs:
​
1. A state of wellness requires the harmonious balance of the mind, body, and spirit. Health is not an end goal, but rather a lifelong commitment to love oneself and grow through life's challenges. Thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions all emit energy and attract similar energy into your life. A victim mindset prevents us from achieving our full potential and living our Truth. We all hold the power to change our lives in a profound way by changing our self-limiting beliefs, subconscious thoughts, and behavioral patterns.
​
2. We are all walking our own path of Truth. Each person's journey deserves respect and compassion. It is important to meet people where they are at on their journey and offer support as they move forward on the path that feels right for them. Change and growth can be uncomfortable and difficult. A culture of love and mutual respect increases self-worth and confidence while sending positive energy. Positive energy attracts more positive energy, while the negative energy that holds us back falls out of our orbit.
​
3. As individuals, we can heal ourselves; as a collective, we can change the world. Sometimes, certain personalities clash, someone is not comfortable with the type of service offered, or something just feels "off." Conforming, settling, or trying to force something to work only hurts both parties. Follow your gut with no reservations. We understand the importance of the right fit - the right service provider, the right social circle, the right calling - and we are dedicated to ensuring you find yours.
