At this point, I’d like to share a little more of my island experience along with how the “Aloha” retreat is designed to help you Feng Shui your Heart.
My first year and a half on Maui I lived on the North Shore. Known for it’s tropical jungle feel. Gorgeous waterfalls and freshwater pools, bamboo forests…and the infamous “Jaws” surf break. I lived off the grid ..outside shower and toilet…in a teepee for a while too. I was totally becoming one with the ‘aina’ and the elements. Now, I hear your sarcastic thought ‘tough life’, right? But actually it was kind of an ‘initiation’ of sorts. Trust me. I don’t need to get into all the details now, however I’ve been known on occasion,to tell a good ‘long’ story if you ask…the kind that would cause my kids to run for cover. You see, I’ve done all the hard work…so I can come out on the other side..to lead you all in a much more efficient process.:)
The first part of our “process” in our retreat is letting go. Surrender, Forgiveness, all big words but necessary to opening our HEARTS. “Our ability and willingness to forgive, to begin anew and to see the light before us” Kumu Kawaikapuokalani Hewitt. The ancient spirituality of Hawaii..Huna is based on this. ALOHA…”The concept of Aloha is being in the presence of your higher spirit (HEART). Being in this vibration will lead to the authentic truth within yourself” Ho’o'ponopono is a sacred ritual of Huna spirituality of which we will perform at the beginning of our week. At this point, Group Breath led by Sula will support us in our “releasing” of all that we are ready to let go of. On our third day we will do a “Sacred Site” tour. Cleansing and purifying in the waters of the Pacific ocean and the powerful Iao Valley stream. After we cleanse we will journey to a Heiau, a sacred site of Hawaiian ceremony and prayer where we will offer up our gratitude and prayers. Personally, I have had the opportunity to do this exact journey and it has been invaluable to me in my growth and expansion. I look forward to sharing it with you.
The second half of our week will begin with a journey to the top of Haleakala Crater to view the sunrise. Many people have said that it is quite a “spiritual” experience. We will continue with more Hawaiian immersion with a ‘talk story’ with Jeana Nalui. Jeana and her husband are the owners of Hale Ho’omana retreat center where we are blessed enough to hold our retreat. She is a beautiful, shining light who will share her knowledge and wisdom of Hawaii. I am also thrilled to say we will be experiencing an ‘authentic’ Lua with a traditional Halau (hula dance) to top off our Hawaiian experience.
Also as part of our celebration we will be using our voices and sound healing with a kirtan and moving our bodies in celebration with an esctatic dance and movement class.
Last but not least, through out our “Feng Shui of our Heart” process…..we will be learning Basic Feng Shui knowledge, have a personal consultation on your floor plan with me, and create a secret ‘cure’ to take home and anchor this new and amazing energy into your own home. Wheeew! So I’d say it’s safe to say that our intention is that this retreat is a “Sacred journey into your ‘self’ and your ‘space’ to acknowledge, purify and expand. Create room for transformation and the manifestation of your heart’s desires.
There will also be daily quiet time to reflect and integrate your experience. The ‘aina’ of Hale Ho’omana is a beautiful container to hold space for our experience. The opportunity to have a Lomi Lomi for yourself or any of the other spa services provided by the retreat are available for you to schedule on your personal time.
