HAWAII
JUNE 1-8, 2024
Join us for 8 days and 7 nights on the Big Island of Hawaii as we befriend the human experience through alchemical practices to deepen the journey towards wholeness.
In a culture of constant distraction it's easy to stray from the wisdom of our inner world as well as our inherent connection to the greater web of life.
"It could be the eternal project of mankind, to learn what the forests have figured out."
YOGA
Holotropic Breathwork® is a powerful approach to self-exploration + healing that integrates insights from modern consciousness research, anthropology, various depth psychologies, transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual practices, and mystical traditions of the world.
With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and the music in the room to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche, bringing him or her a particular set of internal experiences. With the inner healing intelligence guiding the process, the quality and content brought forth is unique to each person and for that particular time and place. While recurring themes are common, no two sessions are ever alike. Additional elements of the process include focused energy release work and integration practices such as mandala drawing.

VENUE
Earthsong is a beautiful, off-grid eco-retreat and organic farm in Ka’u, one of the least populated districts on the Big Island of Hawaii. The rooms here are simple, yet colorful and considered. Hot showers as well as compost and flush toilets are available. Structures are rustic and well-woven into the food forest, with exposure to the earth’s song in the form of wind, rain, birds, geckos, bugs, frogs, and cows.
The land is full of tropical plants, flowers, trees, and creatures that flourish in the property’s jungle - all the makings of a sweet sanctuary.
This eco-community extends an invitation to tune into the deep ecology of not only ourselves, but also of the ancient and sacred land of Hawai'i. Earthsong provides a true permaculture and ecological experience taught by the land tenders and facilitates hiking in an ancient forest, bathing in spring water and sweet excursions to spaces of the sacred island.
