Give yourself a retreat that will take you into the blissful stillness of your being, the joyous expansiveness of your heart, and fill you with wonder as you take in the beautiful, magical paradise that Maui is!
OVERVIEW “Dear Friends,
I am so pleased to be able to offer a truly wonderful 4 day retreat in Maui this January! This Retreat was filled last year far in advance as there is limited space, so please register soon!
During this beautiful heart opening retreat, we begin our days with yoga practice. Then we enjoy a luscious breakfast that includes locally grown exotic fruits. We meet for morning meditation that flows into devotional singing and chanting. There is then a workshop focusing on heart opening and healing, and awareness/mindfulness practice. Later morning and in the afternoons we go for a wonderful nature outing.
One day we go to nearby waterfalls, swim in the tropical pools, and it’s a great joy and new experience to sit under the falls! Another day we will go snorkeling at one of my favorite beaches, where last year we saw sea turtles and many glorious tropical fish! Then our grand finale outing will be sailing out into the deep blue ocean, and enjoying whale watching all around. The whales come very close, and it is an amazing experience to be out there in the stillness and beauty, and behold these magnificent creatures!
There will be an evening concert, and beautiful conscious music woven throughout the entire retreat. The intention of the retreat is to support all in deepening awareness and presence through various spiritual practices, creating a space of gentle heart opening and healing, and providing excursions to experience the stunning beauty and inspiration of Maui. It is truly a heaven realm. The Island of Maui brings such joy and touches the heart in a unique way. We’d be delighted to have you come and join us!
We will have massage available to schedule during your retreat experience and a master yoga teacher offering yoga sessions each morning.”

Our retreat will be held at a beautiful retreat center with lovely gardens not far from Paia.

“The great state of yoga is experienced in that mind which has ceased to identify itself with its fluctuating waves of perception. When this happens, the seer is revealed resting in its own essential nature and one realizes the true self.”

“Develop a mind that is vast like the water, where experiences both pleasant and unpleasant can appear and disappear without conflict, struggle, or harm. Rest in a mind like vast water.”
