Its voice has evolved, along with my own, through awakenings that have brought into my life my most meaningful connections with source. I know they're continually evolving in an awakened state. The voice that is Awake travels from intimate moments of connections and the transcendence of life, love, joy, and loss to the empowerment and evolution of cultural, familial, gender, social, and sexual identities. . Awake speaks to an interspecies collective consciousness powerful enough to prevent the extinction of endangered animals on Earth. . Awake empowers freedom from oppression and repression.
