Big Island Retreat Summer 2025
Escape to the Big Island for a transformative retreat designed to expand your awareness and
recharge your mind, body, and spirit.
Immerse yourself in the island's breathtaking natural beauty and expansive activities!
We’re keeping these retreats wonderfully small, with a maximum of 6 guests at a time, for 5 to 7 days of discovery, adventure and renewal. I’m excited to be your host and will be on the island all through August and September to welcome you! Having visited the Big Island nine times, it truly feels like home to me. I can’t wait to show you and guide you through its beauty, magic, and profound healing essence.
About 50% of our activities will be centered around Pahoa, 20 miles from Hilo. It’s known for its Bohemian Vibe: The town has a relaxed, artistic, and alternative community feel. So Why Pahoa? Because of its wild volcanic beauty; lush rainforest and tropical coastline; bohemian and soulful community; holistic, artsy and slow-living paradise. It’s like Burning Man met Jurassic Park—and they decided to stay and grow cacao trees together!
Depends on the duration of the retreat, you will spend 2 or 3 days in Kona, the west side of the big island, where sunshine meets adventure and “Aloha” is a way of life. Dive into crystal-clear waters, savor world-famous coffee, and explore a vibrant coastline with marine magic and beautiful sunsets.
The Big Island is the youngest and most volcanically active Hawaiian island, brimming with raw, untamed beauty. This powerful energy means your thoughts and emotions can manifest your reality and experience much faster here. Our retreats embrace this flow, so we don’t follow a rigid schedule. To truly experience the island’s magic and have an unforgettable time, it’s key to surrender, be flexible and let go.
Retreat dates are Sept. 20th to 27th. You can choose to join us for 3 to 7 days. The investment is $555 (3 days) to $1295 (7 days).

Retreat Investment
This retreat is designed to be affordable, due to my connection with the retreat center and the group’s shared vehicle. You’ll likely spend about the same as you would explore the Big Island on your own— without the added benefit of my guidance and all the unique and thoughtfully curated group experience.
