“The Awakened Hearts retreat was one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. Each attendee shared deeply and honestly, opening our hearts to one another in ways wider than I ever imagined.
The sessions included joyful games, bearing our souls in one-on-one moments, and deep group sharing. Wil is a terrific facilitator—well-prepared and focused. I will carry my knowledge and experience from this retreat into my life, especially with the helpful tools Wil provided.” ”
"Wil Fisher’s Awakened Hearts is a transformational experience on multiple levels. Wil is a skilled facilitator who creates a supportive environment for learning from him, from fellow participants, and from deep and rewarding self-reflection.
He has the emotional intelligence, compassion, and experience to know what exercises and practices are needed when to help one connect with self and others in a meaningful way. Wil also has a pixieish quality and spirit that adds humor, fun, and exuberance to the mix when not working on one’s own challenging evolution.
I felt mammoth positive shifts in my self-perception, the recognition of how others see me, and my ability to embrace the power and freedom of being my authentic self. Wil, thank you for all these gifts in one extended weekend workshop!"

“Wil’s Awakened Heart Retreat was an amazing and transformative experience that helped me reconnect with my inner child and embrace my true self. Overall, it was a fantastic journey filled with joy, self-love, and genuine friendships. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to grow and connect with others.”
“Awakened Hearts went beyond anything that I could have imagined. I attended this retreat with some anxiety—stepping into the unknown and being surrounded by strangers created self-centered fear. But ultimately, it was a weekend filled with joy, reflection, self-acceptance, and some really goofy moments. Wil’s facilitating style helped all of us ‘strangers’ create a safe and brave space to be honest, open, and authentic. Although we did deep work, there was time for play and creativity as well. I left the retreat with a better sense of myself, a true sense of belonging, and the tools to let my guard down. The love and hope I experienced over the course of those days were transformative. Those strangers I feared at the beginning? I now consider them my brothers.”
“I have had the experience of workshops and retreats all over the world. Wil Fisher ‘s Awakenen Hearts was different. Every exercise, sharing, discussion and activity fostered a deeper connection with each other. These men are now my brothers and I love them as they are! Wil was an example and model of integrity, acceptance and love of who we are!! He fostered love and acceptance in ways that we all fell into naturally. The main feeling I took away is that no matter what, we are is infinitely more the same than we are different. The only thing that counts in this life is love- love of self and love of others. Wil Fisher has allowed us to embody love. He is the model for Love.”
