Retreat Flow ~

Once we arrive at our retreat hale (home), we’ll settle in and share our first meal together. We’ll gather for an opening ceremony with pule (prayers) to Tutu Pele and the ‘Āina, and create our Ti leaf lei, which is sacred and protective in Hawaiian tradition.

As we weave our lei, we’ll offer our intentions and prayers for the journey ahead. These lei will be worn throughout our retreat and then offered back to Pele and the Aina with gratitude and prayer.

For the next three days we will gather in morning circle, then take a journey of exploration in nature to deepen our connection with the A'ina (land) and then opening up to the Hoku (stars).

Home in the afternoon for relaxing, reflection and beach and ocean time.

After dinner, we will participate in a sacred Awa (Kava Kava) Ceremony while we have deep conversations about the Earth, the Stars and the Living Library.

On our final day, we’ll gather for a closing circle and breakfast before heading to the airport, carrying with us the insights, clarity, and transformation gifted by this sacred time together.

Our Journeys

Our first journey sees us along the Puna coast's red road through old growth jungle and fresh new lava flows. We will be visiting a park on the coast and have a chance to explore natural hot springs on some of the newest beaches and land in the world.

Our second journey is a trip to Rainbow Falls, to experience one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Hawai'i. Then off to Hilo's Farmers Market to shop for gifts. Followed by a swim on the Hilo coast in a safe ocean tide pool.

Our final journey takes us to Volcanoes National Park. We first take a magical hike through Kipuka Puaulu in an ancient rainforest. We then journey underground as we walk through the Thurston Lava Tubes. Our final destination is Kilauea crater and Halema'uma'u the home of Pele, to make our final offering to her on the edge of the live volcano.

Our meals are lovingly made with fruits and food grown

on the Island by local farms. You will have high vibrational food prepared with love.

We will also be learning how to Kokua, (all working together) as a community

all sharing in meal prep and clean up.

We will take into consideration any food sensitivities.
