Our Retreat Structure

Your time with us...

From the moment you arrive in Hilo until we say “a hui hou,” every detail is taken care of. Our retreats nourish your mind, refresh your body, and restore your spirit—while helping you reconnect with yourself, your surroundings, and the new friends you’ll meet along the way.

Introspect, eXperience, Connect.

Afternoons are for exploration! From lava flows at Kīlauea to sunsets atop Mauna Kea, snorkeling with honu, and exploring lava tubes, the Big Island is full of unforgettable experiences. Stay open, stay flexible, and feel the mana—the spirit—of this incredible island. While we can’t promise a specific adventure due to this island's weather's fickleness, we can promise an unforgettable and fun time!

Afternoon Activities on the Island

The focus of our three workshops are:

1) Understanding Wellness: Intro to Burnout 
2) Mitigating Burnout: Strategies to Restore Balance
3) Taking Action: Creating your Personal Plan 

Each morning, we’ll start with breakfast and a workshop.  We will explore burnout, wellness, and the power of purpose and mindset. You’ll learn practical strategies, create actionable plans, and leave with a personalized roadmap to turn insights into real change—helping you step toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

"Discover the Life within YOU..."

What made this retreat so unique was the combination of deep, intentional work within a small, supportive group. Julie has an incredible gift for taking big, sometimes overwhelming concepts and delivering them in a way that’s clear, digestible, and genuinely empowering. Her teaching style is warm and impactful. You’re not just listening—you’re actively transforming.

I have never seen the night sky so vividly. We identified constellations and marveled at the Milky Way in all its brilliance—it was, without a doubt, the most magical stargazing experience of my life.
This retreat was more than a getaway—it was a gift to my soul. I left feeling deeply connected to nature, to others, and most importantly, to myself. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

- ANDY Y.

The retreat itself was nothing short of life-changing. The house was absolutely breathtaking—by far the most beautiful and peaceful place I’ve ever stayed, right on the water and designed for deep rest. It felt like a sanctuary. The food was another standout: nourishing, comforting, and prepared with so much care.

- Gabby C.

Since leaving the retreat, I’ve been able to take meaningful, intentional steps toward building a career that actually aligns with who I am. Even better, I’m doing it without the weight of overwhelm or self-doubt. I finally feel connected to myself again, and I'm genuinely excited about what’s ahead!
