Waking Up In Paradise Retreat                   Bottom of Page

February 21-27, 2009

Cost is $1875 for the retreat, room and meals

Travel is separate and you need to make your own arrangements. 

Do you dream of a time of deep relaxation and renewal?  Do you long to enjoy the beauty and peace of nature, to play in the warm sun of a tropical paradise? This retreat offers you all of this and more. The smells, the colors, the sounds and the wildlife all conspire to invite you back into the magical presence of life. Take time out of your busy schedule to reconnect with yourself and with life. It is a true gift to yourself, and there is no better setting than the Hawaiian Islands, where life makes love to life.

The focus of the retreat is on learning how to show up for whatever life brings in each moment. In that process, we will have times of silence and times of exploring together ideas and skills that invite us back into life. We will share both our wisdom and the challenges of learning to quiet our minds and open our hearts.  There will be some meditation. The emphasis, however, is not on meditation techniques, but rather on learning how to wake up the natural curiosity of the mind so that we can more fully experience each moment of our lives.

The retreat will be held at Hui Ho'olana, a beautiful retreat center on the island of Molokai.  Located on 100 acres, Hui Ho'olana sits on a hill called Pu'u Kolea.  With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby islands, the center is surrounded by trees, fragrant flowers, luscious ferns, spacious open lawns, and scenic hiking trails providing an ideal environment for inspiration and a safe haven for the growth and nurturing of the spirit.
