WHAT’S INCLUDED

SELF-CARE RITUALS

We take a holistic approach to wellbeing through various practices including daily yoga flows, meditations, breath work exercises and reiki. Our program features a variety of styles and techniques to serve every body, regardless of experience level or physique. Each morning practice will be energizing with the sun, as we set the tone for the day, let go of stagnant energy stored on a cellular level, and create space for inner exploration and intuitive channeling. Evening practices will be grounding with the energy of the moon, intentionally designed to prepare our bodies for rest and replenishment.

ISLAND EXPLORATION

We will explore the offerings of Big Island, Hawaii through excursions to the vast valleys, wondrous mountains, breathtaking seas, and awe-inspiring waterfalls. We will adventure to the sacred depth of Pololu Valley, a raw and untamed side of the Big Island with sheer vertical cliffs reaching the sky, waterfalls cascading into the sea, and sunlight kissing the valley trees. This will be an opportunity to commune with nature, share our respects to the land, and lean into inner peace. We will also be explore beaches and other landmarks located in and around Hilo. Specific details will be announced closer to the retreat date.

ACCOMMODATION

This retreat includes a 5 day, 4 night stay at a Hawaiian styled A-Frame home — a magnificent residence nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Hawaiian jungle. With its immersive surroundings and 40 different botanicals and fruit trees, the property embodies the essence of Hawaii and offers an enchanting escape into nature. This property is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath property on a 1 acre tropical garden. Each room is priced according to bed and room size.

FOOD

Each meal will be prepared by our lovely in-house chef Sarena with Plant Based Paradise Kailua, Oahu. She will be making nourishing, clean, vegan and gluten-free meals 3x a day. The retreat also includes a meal in Hilo town on our exploration day.

CREATIVE WORKSHOPS

We will be leaning into different outlets of creative expression, including empowering journal prompts, conscious discussion, and vision boarding. All workshops are optional but highly encouraged as it will evoke deep reflection, inner clarity, and connection. When we tap into our creativity, we unearth our authentic self and freely express our feelings, ideas, emotions, and values with confidence. These experiences will set you up with the right intuitive tools to navigate your life journey beyond the retreat.

CULTURAL AWARENESS

It’s our desire to honor the communities and cultures who are responsible for fostering a deep connection with the land. That being said, we will be incorporating the island’s most recognized transitions: hula dancing and lei making. Lei making is a fragrant and blissful practice. Through this experience, we will master the craft of ceremonial garlands made with plumerias and pikake flowers, worn and shared as gifts of affection. During the hula dancing workshop, we’ll learn the authentic expression of Hawaiian culture, history, and stories through joy-giving movement, instruments, and chants. All led by Hoku Lai, a Hawaiian native, born and raised on Big Island.

SELF-EXPLORATION PRACTICES

The last night of this retreat will be a celebration of deep friendship, connection, and radical self-love as we dance around the fire under the moon to the tracks of a live local DJ artist. Life is meant to be enjoyed, so what better way to end the retreat experience than gathering in community and celebration of our love and admiration for ourselves and one another through the power of dancing.

TRANSPORTATION

Flights are not included in this experience. However, we will coordinate rides to and from the airport, as well as around the island throughout your 5 day stay. Information including what airport to fly to and other scheduling details will be shared upon sign up.

  • The creative writing workshop I took with Nicol was so transformational for me. Nicol really goes above and beyond to create such a special experience, even down to the smallest details. During the workshop I experienced so many wonderful shifts, and I am so grateful for her beautiful energy and guidance.

  • Nicol offers a loving and practical approach to ground intention into action. Her writing workshop helped me to recall and activate practices that encourage healthy habits and inspire creativity as a writer and as a human in general. I enjoyed being able to sit in a space with other women to go a little deeper into the mind and heart.

    — Jeena

  • Nicol’s creative writing workshop was so fun. It was so refreshing to hear the thoughts of like minded women! The workshop was so inspiring and exactly what I needed to re-dive into my creative side. She even gave us a rose and crystals and helped us tap into the deeper side of what may be causing creativity blocks. I would love to go to more of Nicol’s workshops!

    — Skye S.

  • Nicol’s writing workshop was everything and more. The class inspired me to start journaling and get in tune with myself again. She gave us a beautiful rose and some crystals(which really resonated) and thought this was so sweet. We ended the workshop with a guided meditation which was the cherry on top. I would highly recommend her workshops if you are looking for some grounding and inspiration. Thanks for the class Nicol! Looking forward to the next one.

    — Dani M.

  • Nicol’s workshop reinvigorated my passion for writing. Her tips for removing writing blocks & getting into daily journaling habits have helped me get back into my writing routine. Her energy is so inviting she really made everyone in the group comfortable to open up & share. Cannot recommend her workshop enough if you feel stuck in a writing rut!

    — Morgan W.

  • Nicol created a warm and inviting space for deep connection and discussion. The information she shared at the workshop was useful and valuable. I left with more tools in my toolbox for furthering my writing. An evening spent gaining insight, expanding creatively, and making connections is a fantastic evening to me!
