It’s time. We need connection…to ourselves, and to each other. This retreat will be just what we all need. We will travel to the island’ of Molokai, Hawaii. It’s quiet, secluded, and beautiful. The perfect place to meet ourselves again. We will unplug our phones, and plug into the Prana of Old Hawaii.
As the locals say: “Slow Down. This is Molokai”
Dates: December 13-19, 2021
Arrive on Molokai on Monday December 13 late afternoon or evening and receive a fresh Hawaiian Lei and champagne reception. Settle in. Sleep under thousands of stars.
Spend six nights in a comfortable condo, Molokai Shores, just steps from the beach. Wake up every morning to fresh fruit and island pastries, before a morning yoga practice, meditation and group discussion. Afternoons will be spent hiking, reading, journaling, lounging by the pool or beach. Evenings will include gentle yoga, meditation, dinner, and free time.
Check out on Sunday December 19 in plenty of time to travel back home, most flights arriving in the mainland on Monday December 20th. Just in time to jump back into the hustle, with your yoga vibes in tact. Scroll to bottom of page to see agenda.

Why Molokai?
First of all, average temperatures on Molokai in December are between 68-75 degrees. Nice!
Molokai is known as the Heart Chakra of Hawaii. A lush place which is referred to as ‘The Friendly Island’, ideal for tending to the heart chakra that’s known for connecting with ourselves, and loving others.
There are a lot of forests on the island too, including the 2,774 acre Molokai Forest Reserve which makes the island very green, the color of the heart chakra.
Molokai is the sole Hawaiian Island that has never been conquered. It’s basically peaceful and “unstruck” which is the literal meaning of the heart chakra’s true Sanskrit name, “Anahata.”
Some call Molokai ‘The Most Hawaiian Island’ because the aloha spirit flourishes here.
Another reason…from December to May, humpback whales call Hawaii home. Traveling an incredible 3,000 miles of ocean in less than two-months time, these gentle giants migrate from the gulf of Alaska to Hawaii for breeding and birthing in the islands’ warm and shallow waters. The clear, shallow waters of the Auau Channel between Molokai, Maui and Lanai offer some of the best whale watching in the world. From our condos on the South Shore, keep your eyes open as you will likely see these beauties frolicking in the ocean in front of you.
If you’re looking for the real Hawai’i, this is it.
If you’re looking for old Hawai’i, this is it.
If you’re looking for breathtaking natural beauty, rain forests or deserted beaches, this is it.
If you’re looking for glitz and glamour, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
This is an honest look at an island lost in time.
An island where no building is taller than a palm tree.
Where aloha is not just a word, it’s a way of life.
Where one of the longest white sand beaches in Hawai’i will probably have only your foot prints on them.
No mall, no elevators, no neon.
Shopping is done in small, friendly businesses in Kaunakakai, the largest town, and in the villages of Kualapu’u and Maunaloa.
Life here is slow and relaxed.
It’s rural and peaceful.
It’s like stepping back in time 50 years.
It’s a place like no other.
