Healing Waves Oahu Retreat
We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable retreat at a stunning Private Retreat Center on the magical island of Oahu, December 13-19, 2024.
This retreat is open to all bodies who are ready to embark on the journey of healing through your divine energy.
🌸
To be held by the arms of the mother - our original mother; mother earth gives “coming home” an entirely new meaning. To come home to the love of the mother within ourselves is to return to our primal connection to all things on this planet. When we return to the home within, we remember that we are never alone, always held and always cared for. We become our own compassionate nourishment. We become the sacred mother essence we’ve always needed.
🌸
Nurturing Resonance
Understand the power of your own body as a vibratory vessel while attuning to the sacred nature of your system. You will be provided tools to feel flow with the rhythm of your nervous system, find coherence with your heart and mind, and utilize the gift of community to co-regulate.
After soothing and regulating our nervous systems, we will then move into some very gentle movement, to allow us to drop even further into our bodies, to release stress and tension.
Grounding and heart opening yin postures will then be accompanied with hands on healing, singing bowls, drumming and the gong.
Self Investment $38
Reconnect With the Sacred Body
The vessel of the body carries our Source wisdom, our experiences, our intuitive whispers and our memories - from this lifetime and those past.
For too long we’ve been taught to look upon the body with disdain and mistrust. Let us shift the narrative as we honor the sacred and wise vehicle in which we each live within, and come home together.
Guest Speaker: Dancing with the Shadows
Defense mechanisms can serve as the indicator to a subconscious minimization of our capability to look at, be with, and move through what is being avoided.
Rhythms Within Retreat: Nourishing the Endocrine & Nervous System
A retreat designed to nourish your Endocrine and Nervous systems through experiential education, Acudetox, Medical Meditation, Hatha, Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan and Therapeutic yoga.
We’ll explore the neuroscience supporting the efficacy of the practices while opening your ability to attune to your own internal, homeostatic rhythm.
Three organic communal meals will be served per day. Opportunities for soaking, massage, hiking and relaxing in many of the lovely areas on and surrounding the property will be available.
CEUs will be available for Yoga Teachers. This retreat is also appropriate for Wellness Practitioners seeking additional tools for their own well-being and that of those they serve.
Please do join us. The teachings that we have been given and that we will give to you as integral to this retreat are invaluable. We are humbled and excited to have you :)
Glands are the Guardians: Understanding Addiction
The nature and severity of addiction has to do with a combination of many things: genetics, background, environment - many. The teachings of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan show us that the root cause is the imbalance between the pituitary and pineal gland.
This workshop will focus on the relationship between these two glands, providing tangible and experiential evidence to shed light on the growing number of individuals finding Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan as the vehicle to remember the inner strength necessary to move through and past addiction.
Glands are the Guardians: Session 2 - Directing Depression
Unify the Spiritual & Mental Health Journey through the Wisdom of the Endocrine System
Our endocrine system plays an integral role in the life of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Glands within this system have a direct impact on our sleep/wake cycle, our feelings of connection and social bonding, our fight/flight/freeze response, our aptitude to relax, and our ability to release toxicity stored in the body caused by stress or substance use.
A science in yogic form, Kundalini Yoga systematically uses the intelligence of the body to realize its capacity for wholeness and works directly on homeostasis of the endocrine system as it recognizes its vital role in our overall well-being.
This workshop will involve both a powerful Kundalini Yoga practice and education to expand your concept of 'where' and 'how' mental health challenges can arise as it pertains to the Endocrine System. You will leave with tools to implement in your own life and the knowledge to back their efficacy. This is the first in a multi-part series unifying Spiritual and Mental Health concepts through the ancient science of Kundalini Yoga and the modern world of psychotherapy. Session one focuses on anxiety. Session two, depression.
This workshop is appropriate for persons who experience mental health concerns (ahem, everyone to some degree), the mental health professional, and any other working professional in the health-related field.
Please bring a journal, something to write with and you, just as you are.

Step into Spring! Detox & Reset
Step into the creative vibration of Spring with three powerful practices known for centuries to stimulate the senses, cleanse the lymphatic and nervous system & vibrate our cells at a molecular level, opening you to You.
Kundalini Yoga -A short and gentle yoga set will create the internal environment necessary for the ear acupuncture and gong immersion to create an even deeper impact.
Acudetox - 5 sterile acupuncture needles will be placed in each ear, connecting to major meridians and each associated with the organs of the heart, kidney, liver & lung. The practice has been known to create relaxation, reduce cravings for substances, reduce anxiety and symptoms of depression, to name a few of the benefits.
Gong Sound Medicine- Known as one of the most ancient and powerful therapeutic instruments for healing, the power of the gong connects to an internal piece of us that we consciously do not have access to. It is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and to break up emotional blockages. Gongs stimulate and resonate all cells in the human body simultaneously and recalibrate the parasympathetic nervous system.
RSVP Required - Space is limited to just 6!

"There is a vibratory frequency that corresponds to everything in the Universe. Happiness or sorrow, joy or regret are vibratory frequencies in the mind. When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables. Whether it’s for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition, or any other possible benefits inherent in mantras, simply by chanting them we are setting vibrations into motion that shall have an effect. It doesn’t actually matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not." Yogi Bhajan
Join us in the sacred space of Mandara on this Sunday to collectively create a vibratory frequency that supports our happiness, joy, and prosperity.
