Our Retreat Structure
Your time with us...
Our retreats are designed with you in mind. From the time you land in Hilo to the time we bid you "a hui hou", you will be taken care of. We will engage your mind and spirit in our workshops, while your body and soul will refresh during activity and meal times. But, best of all are the connections that you will forge with yourself, your surroundings and the new friends that you will meet.
Introspect, eXperience, Connect.
We will be reserving the afternoons for exploration! Given the fickle nature of island living (the weather is unpredictable!), we can't promise all of these experiences but we will ensure that you will get to experience the best that our island offers! Depending on Pele's moods, you might get to witness the fiery awesomeness of lava erupting from Kilauea. Or, be humbled by the magnificent sunset and night stars atop Mauna Kea. Be mesmerized by honu (turtles) and fish as you snorkel in the ocean. Feel the power of darkness in a lava tube. Be flexible and open and you will experience the mana (spirit) of the Big Island!
Afternoon Activities on the Island
Our workshops focus on these three topics:
1) Defining your "WHY" - reaffirm your passion for medicine or explore a new career/ life path
2) Shifting your Mindset - focus on our physician "blindspots" and learn strategies on how to change them
3) Taking Action - create a plan to move forward!
We will spend 3-4 hours every morning, working together to understand how having a solid sense of purpose and the proper mindset is the foundation to living a life that you love. We will conclude our workshop series putting everything that you've learned into an action plan that you can follow to transform your ideas into reality.
