AWAKENING SOUL INTERNSHIP FOR SPIRITUAL SEEKERS
The Awakening Soul Internship program is designed for people who are ready to go to new depths of personal exploration. We have observed that many times people go through traditional schooling, and even university, and then enter the business or work world without a real sense of direction or purpose. The mission of the Awakening Soul internship is to assist in self-discovery and personal empowerment.
This program is for those who are seeking a spiritual path. We do not seek to push religion, doctrine, or dogma on anyone. In fact we seek to know God outside the walls of religion. We seek to live the example of unconditional love into all we do. We believe that we are much more than just human beings… we are spiritual beings created to walk in union with God and in union with one another.
Aguila and Zahrah personally assist interns in the voyage of self-discovery through one-on-one meetings, group meetings, and daily interactions while working on the farm. Each have been on the conscious journey of self-discovery and of surrender to Spirit for many years. Combined, they have assisted hundreds of young people in various phases of the journey of the heart.
Interns will interact deeply within our family, and will be challenged to greater self-discipline in in regards to spiritual, bodily, emotional, and mental health . We seek students who are serious about their own journey of the heart The Awakening Soul internship program is designed to be challenging – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We call those who are eager to take their lives to the next level.
Some interns may also wish to teach in a local school. Prior teaching experience is not necessary, only a strong desire to connect with children and to make a positive impact.
Let it be clear now (if we have not already),before reading or considering any further. Our program is designed to sharpen the intern in every way. Great emphasis is placed on discipline. We do have fun, and seek to maintain a playful and light hearted approach to life, while also continuing on a very self-disciplined path. Those who are not seeking, or are not ready for greater discipline, need not apply. Likewise, those seeking to continue in patterns of drug or alcohol abuse, or other forms of self abuse, need not apply.
Please note: All program fees received help to pay the basic expenses of the intern or volunteer. Any remaining funds help to support the building and maintenance of the farm, food and living expenses, scholarships for other interns, and supplies for further outreach, and eventually to build a global network of self-sustaining communities, which can also support orphans. We are a non-profit corporation. A limited amount of scholarships are available based on financial need. Intern fees are non-refundable after the intern has arrived…Yes, that means commitment to completion!
We do not seek people to follow us, or to follow our little egos…rather, we seek to assist others to discover their destiny, be empowered, and to surrender to the Spirit.
We do not seek to change or convert people to any particular religion.
Our program is an experiment in living simply. This is not a fancy resort. We live very humbly. Our farm is surrounded by virgin rainforest and so we have all kinds of wonderful bugs and other critters. Some bugs bite, some crawl, some scamper. If you are afraid of or uncomfortable with bugs…come with the intention to overcome the fear. The farm can get muddy when rains come.

We would like to make note that the video here on the site is a compilation of highlights from activities here in Central America. It is important for us to express that the internship is not simply a flurry of exciting events and action, rather, there is a great deal of time for deep personal reflection, alone time, and simply digging in the dirt on the farm. Please do not come with the expectation of constant activity. In fact, letting go of expectations is one of the principles we are learning here at Awakening Soul.
We are finding that life is like a river, and so is journey we call Soul. As the final destination of a river is oneness with a lake or the ocean, the final destination of life is oneness with the Great Spirit. As we continue to surrender as an organization, we are finding that our own expectations are continually being challenged to a greater and more exciting flight. So…we encourage you to begin your conscious revolution now in your own heart, to let go of attachments, expectations, and judgments of what things “should” look like, now in your life, and when you arrive here to Awakening Soul. Let the river flow…and let’s all keep asking the question…”Who Am I?”

The teaching philosophy at Awakening Soul is that we are all students. Staff members enjoy daily opportunities to learn from interns and children, as well as to share in the teaching process. At Awakening Soul, everyone is an intern and the lines between “student” and “teacher” are in many areas, purposely indistinct.
