What if you were Never Disconnected—Only Buried?
I’m Camilla Wellton. Somatic educator, author, and creator of the I AWAKE system: a living map for those ready to reconnect with their sensuality, soul, and sovereign presence.My story doesn’t follow the usual arc. I wasn’t performing outwardly, lost in the gaze of others. I was living from within curating a precise, protected inner world. What hurt wasn’t inauthenticity. It was isolation.I had everything I thought I needed to thrive: a successful fashion brand, creative freedom, a life built with intention. But I couldn’t let people in. Somewhere in my early imprinting, closeness became coded as unsafe. So I stayed apart. Independent. Distant. Admired, but untouched.And over time, the distance between my carefully held self and the world I secretly longed to belong to (intimately, messily, fully) began to ache.The shift began not in silence, but in sensuality.Through shibari, wild techno rituals, erotic friendships, and dance floors that cracked me open. I began to feel people as medicine. Not as threat. I saw that I didn’t have to choose between inner sovereignty and relational depth. That being porous didn’t mean being powerless.Then, unexpectedly, I became a mother. A sacred rupture. A homecoming I hadn’t planned. And everything I’d been building my mythic language, my symbolic structure, my lifelong somatic practice clicked into something new.This work, my book, my deck, my school, is where all those threads weave together.I AWAKE is not a performance of healing.It’s a ritual path of reconnection.Not just to the self but to others. To pleasure. To Eros. To now.And I’m so honored to walk beside you.
