About Rachel

Hi, I’m Rachel, co-founder of Awaken Artemis.

If you know me in real life, you’re probably not surprised that I ended up creating something like this.

I’ve always loved bringing people together, finding beautiful places, planning experiences, and creating the kind of moments where everyone feels more connected, more alive, and honestly just happy to be there. I love that feeling when the right people are in the right place and everything just clicks. Good energy, beautiful surroundings, a little adventure, a lot of laughter, meaningful conversations, great food, and those random little moments that end up becoming the best part of the trip.

That is really the heart of Awaken Artemis.

I created it because I wanted to build experiences that feel like more than a vacation, but without becoming overly serious or overly structured. I’m not interested in surface level travel where you just take a few photos and go home. I’m also not trying to create something heavy where everyone has to have a breakthrough before breakfast. I love the middle ground. Beautiful places. Real connection. Some movement. Some adventure. Some depth. Some fun. A little magic. A little spontaneity. Enough intention to make it meaningful, but enough ease to let people actually enjoy themselves.

That is very much how I move through life too.

I love nature, ocean air, big views, being outdoors, exploring new places, and creating experiences that people genuinely remember. I love good conversation and ridiculous laughter. I love when people feel included and comfortable enough to just be themselves. I care a lot about the vibe of things. I want people to feel welcomed, relaxed, inspired, and like they can exhale a little.

I think one of the things I naturally bring is that I really do love people. I love connection. I love seeing friendships form and walls come down and the group start to feel like its own little world. I also think life is just better when there is beauty, humor, movement, and a little sense of adventure in it.

I’m also a big believer that meaningful experiences do not have to be so intense all the time. Sometimes the most healing or memorable part of a trip is not some huge dramatic moment. Sometimes it is a conversation over dinner, a breathtaking view, laughing until your stomach hurts, jumping into cold water, dancing, trying something new, or just realizing you feel more like yourself than you have in a while.

That is the kind of experience I want Awaken Artemis to create.

At the end of the day, I’m someone who loves making things feel special. I love curating experiences with heart. I love bringing together good people in beautiful places and creating the kind of trips that leave you with stories, connection, and that feeling of, wow, I’m really glad I said yes to this.

So if you’re into beautiful places, good people, a little adventure, meaningful connection, and not taking everything too seriously, you are probably in exactly the right place.

About Ingo

Hi, I’m Ingo.

I’m a certified life coach and yoga instructor, but more than anything, I’m someone who genuinely loves bringing people together. I believe the best experiences in life happen when we slow down, share openly, and create space for real connection—with ourselves, with nature, and with each other.

I’ve always been drawn to building community. Whether it’s guiding a yoga practice, having a meaningful conversation over coffee, or sharing a beautiful place with new friends, I love creating environments where people feel welcome, supported, and free to be themselves.

My coaching work focuses on helping people reconnect with what really matters to them and move through life with a little more clarity, purpose, and ease. Yoga has been a big part of that journey for me as well—it’s a practice that reminds us to breathe, stay present, and not take everything quite so seriously.

I’m known for having a pretty dry sense of humor, which tends to appear exactly when you least expect it. Life can be intense sometimes, and I think a little laughter goes a long way.

With Awaken Artemis, my hope is to help create experiences where people feel inspired, supported, and connected—to themselves, to nature, and to a community of incredible humans along the way. I’m grateful to be part of the journey.
