Women . Embodiment . Transformation
Hale Akua Garden Farm & Eco Retreat Center, Maui
With deep gratitude and respect, we acknowledge the sacred ʻāina where Hale Akua stands, on the traditional and unceded islands of Hawai'i, in the Ahupua'a of Haiku and in the Hāmākua Moku on the island of Maui.
Calling all maidens, mothers, matriarchs and crones...
You are warmly invited to join us in this self-care retreat for women and those who identify as women.
We welcome you and Her in all of Her diversity of expressions.
~ Registration is now open ~
In the embrace of Maui’s natural beauty, we honor the Makahiki season, a time of peace, celebration, tending to the land and our family to renew ourselves for the coming year. Simultaneously, we are marking the Celtic festival of Imbolc, dedicated to Brigid, the goddess of fire, healing, and renewal, and deeply connected to purification and setting intentions for the coming season. Together, the energies sourced from these traditions can guide and support us on a journey of deep healing, transformation, and self-discovery.
Are you curious? Seeking to explore yourself more deeply? Are you longing for deeper embodiment or hungry for some full-bodied expression through movement, creative arts and voice? Is there healing, grieving or simply slowing down to rest that you need? Are you longing to access more of your personal power?
Embodied self-exploration and self-care practices are embedded throughout to support your transformational process. Ritual and ceremony are the sacred catalysts. Nestled atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a stunning waterfall, the island cradles us as we deepen our connection to ourselves, to Spirit, to the land, and to one another.
Our time together will begin with circle sharing, intention setting, and simple movement practices. Throughout the days that follow, we will gather for expressive arts processes, dance, medicine rituals and various integration practices. We will also be exploring periods of group silence and meditation with ample spaciousness for sauna, hot tubs, hikes to the waterfall and other self-care practices.

We offer an online group preparation session to gather the group and begin to form our collective container. There will be another online session after our ceremony to continue the integration process.
These meetings are essential to building and maintaining our collective container. Please mark them in your schedule if you plan to attend.
