Beauty Way
Maui Retreat
July 27th - July 31st, 2023 at Hale Akua Garden Farm and Eco Retreat Center
This 5-day, 4-night retreat is for women who want to heal from emotional burnout and sensory overwhelm. For the parents, the teachers, the coaches, the helpers, the therapists, the medical professionals, the activists, the "strong" friends, the planners, the ones who care so much and hold so much. . .this is for you. Come fill your cup with magical moments of rest, play, connection, solitude, beauty and awe on the sacred coastal farmland of Hale Akua. Hale Akua means “Home of the Divine” in Hawaiian.
Pricing: Prices start at $2500 per person and vary depending on choice of accommodations. Price includes lodging, 3 delicious vegetarian/pescatarian meals per day by Chef Kyra Bramble, and all retreat workshops and supplies. Price does not include airfare or ground transportation (closest airport is Maui's Kahului Airport, a 35 minute drive to the retreat center). If you would like to explore the island during free time, it is suggested that you rent a car. Some places to explore outside the retreat center: local beaches, hiking in upcountry Maui, town of Paia, tropical gardens, and the famous "Road to Hana." There is plenty to do at the retreat center and you will have everything you need for an incredible experience without driving anywhere, so if you don't want to rent a car you can use Uber/Lyft/Taxi service to and from the retreat center.
Note: The retreat workshops are for women only, but partners of all genders are welcome to stay with you in your retreat center accommodations and can join the group for meals and free time. If you would like to to travel with your children, you are welcome to find separate accommodations outside of the retreat center and drive in to join us for the retreat workshops and meals without your children. If either of these scenarios apply to you, please contact me directly and I will give you more information about pricing for non-retreat participants and how to proceed with registration!

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST RETREATS
"The retreat was a great balance of thoughtful activities and down time. I loved making connections with new people and finding new connections with those I've known for years. It was special, too, given that all the people who were at the retreat came with an open heart and were ready to be vulnerable from the start to allow for those deep connections to happen so quickly. I said it already, but, Hana, you are magical. You are the conduit that allowed all of this energy to come together and flow in all the best ways. I loved being nourished on so many levels--with movement, introspection, food, laughter, friendship, fresh air . . . It was the reset that I needed. Thank you."

"Hana's work takes you into a spiritual realm. Her uniquely modern approach yet totally timeless energy has guided me through releasing ancestral trauma, and reclaiming my own authentic self. She's a true healer and anyone would be lucky to practice with her."
