Wellness Retreat · Texas

Texas's Premier Wellness Retreat

Twelve private acres outside Austin. Whole-person healing through ceremonial ketamine therapy, integration, breathwork, bodywork, and a curated set of modalities — held by a live-in team.

FDA-Approved Medicine Board-Certified Team Twelve Private Acres All-Inclusive

Within Center is a premier wellness retreat focused on whole-person healing — mind, body, and spirit. We believe lasting change does not come from a single modality, and it does not come from a long weekend. It comes from a complete container: multiple modalities, held in nature, over six days (or three, in our condensed format). The retreat is all-inclusive and held at AWKN Ranch — twelve private acres in the hills of West Austin.

Whole-person healing

Every day, you work with our team across an integrated set of modalities. We teach them to you not as items on a schedule, but as tools you take home and use:

Most clients arrive because something is stuck. Treatment-resistant depression. Burnout no vacation has touched. Trauma talk therapy has not reached. Grief that has settled in. A relationship at an inflection point. The work is real. The change tends to last.

The setting

Twelve acres of West Austin. Held with care.

AWKN Ranch is a private healing sanctuary in the hills of West Austin — twenty minutes from downtown, surrounded by twelve acres of live oak and cedar elm.

The land is the medicine before the medicine. Live oaks. Cedar elm. The Hill Country sky. A live-in concierge, chef-prepared meals, sauna and cold plunge, ceremonial space, and integration rooms designed for the work that follows.

Frequently asked questions

Is Within Center a typical wellness retreat?

No. Within Center is a medically supervised retreat built around ceremonial ketamine therapy. You will work with board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and trained ceremonial guides. Most wellness retreats focus on relaxation; Within is built for transformation.

Do I need a medical condition to attend?

You do not need a formal diagnosis. Many of our clients come for burnout, grief, a stuck relationship, a life transition, or simply a sense that something has to change. We do require a medical screening with our nurse practitioner before any ceremony work, to make sure the medicine is right for you.

What is included in the retreat?

Everything. Lodging at AWKN Ranch, all meals, guided ceremonial ketamine therapy, integration coaching, and daily wellness rituals (yoga, breathwork, sound, sauna and cold plunge), and your live-in team. The only thing not included is travel to Austin.

Where exactly is the retreat?

AWKN Ranch is a 12-acre private sanctuary at 7600 Stillridge Dr, in the hills of West Austin. About 20 minutes from downtown Austin, 25 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
