There was a time when humans lived in harmony with nature, waking with the sun, resting with the moon, and moving through life in sync with the seasons. We walked barefoot, feeling the earth beneath us…
We will do it togather, nature and humans.
Launching on May 1st (Botane Day) at 19 CET, this six-week journey is designed to help you awaken with nature, aligning with the rhythms of the sun, moon, and stars.
Through weekly themes, rituals, and practices inspired by astrology and the blossoming season, we’ll release the old and welcome renewal.
The ÂME Seasonal Awakening Challenge is all about transformative, awakening energy.
Every 2 weeks, we’ll introduce a new facilitator and a set of practices that align with nature, astrology and ancient rituals.
We will kick start on May 1st, at 19 CET with the incredible Andre-Louis de Villiers.
South African-born, once a professional rugby player, now a guide for those seeking deeper connection—in body, mind, and being. He found yoga in 2011 and has since taught over 11,000 hours, co-led trainings, and created frameworks for yoga and self-inquiry. His approach blends physical intelligence, psychological insight, and philosophical depth. Today, he does not only teach yoga in its many forms—Vinyasa, Power, Hot—but also leads workshops and talks on self-management, helping top performers and everyday people learn how to manage their energy, emotions, and thoughts with clarity and calm.
The challenge will be primarily conducted through email and WhatsApp. Every 2 weeks, we will hold a webinar, you’ll receive an email introducing the new CYCLE with detailed explanations and video resources to guide you.
These emails will be interactive, so feel free to respond with any questions or thoughts you may have.
In addition, we’ll have a WhatsApp group for all participants, where you can share your progress, ask questions, and exchange insights with others on the same journey.
Every 2 weeks, we’ll also host a webinar with a guest facilitator and a short check-in meeting (all in one) to get inspired by professionals and discuss how everyone is progressing and share our experiences in real-time!
We encourage participants to take a break from alcohol and decrease their screen time for the duration of the challenge. This helps with focus and clarity — both mentally and physically.
A small fee locks in your participation, symbolizing your commitment to this journey.
You’ll sign a contract for yourself, with your future self, as a promise to stick with the challenge and see it through!
This group is a confidential space. What we share here stays here. We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe to express themselves. Feel free to post your progress on social media, but nothing shared in the group leaves the group.
This community thrives on encouragement, not judgment. Let’s support one another by sharing experiences, not giving unsolicited advice.
Engage fully in each activity. This is your time to show up for yourself and others, to be fully present and open to the process.
The Seasonal Awakening Challenge is for anyone feeling the call to slow down, reconnect, and realign with nature’s rhythm. Whether you’re looking to shake off stagnation, bring more balance into your daily life, or simply explore a new way of being, this journey is for you.
Nope! All you need is a few printed lists we’ll provide and a few minutes each day to dedicate to yourself. That’s it!
Absolutely! The Âme team is just a call or text away throughout the entire challenge. Plus, you’ll have a group of like-minded people supporting you every step of the way.
You’ll reconnect with nature’s cycles and awaken a deeper sense of balance, energy, and clarity in your life.
No, the commitment fee is non-refundable.
Winter, especially in January, is traditionally seen as a time of introspection.
Nature itself slows down, encouraging us to do the same and focus inward. Just like plants rest before blooming in spring, this challenge allows you to build a foundation of healthy habits that will help you thrive in the months ahead.
Every 15 days, we’ll introduce a new simple, healthy habit that aligns with one of our six core principles: Play, Energy, Connections, Learning, De-Stress, and Purpose.
These aren’t drastic changes, they’re small shifts that, over time, will create a lasting impact.
This challenge isn’t about perfection – it’s about complimenting your lifestyle, helping you build a sustainable rhythm one step at a time.
The challenge will be primarily conducted through email and WhatsApp. Every 15 days, you’ll receive an email introducing the new habit with detailed explanations and video resources to guide you. These emails will be interactive, so feel free to respond with any questions or thoughts you may have.
In addition, we’ll have a WhatsApp group for all participants, where you can share your progress, ask questions, and exchange insights with others on the same journey.
Every 15 days, we’ll also host a check-in meeting to discuss how everyone is progressing and share our experiences in real-time!
