What am I getting myself into!? 

The Aina!  - the beauty of the land! This land is home ot a food forest and has been a historical land of ritual and practice. The retreat center is rich with non-dual tantrik history, practice, and deities in their iconic forms, who have long been prayed with, revered, and charged up with resonance throughout time and space…We are close to the ocean and the jungle on 12 acres of garden, farm, and forest with walking trails and areas for private respite throughout.

Practice! - Twice-daily - full yoga Asana practices including breath practice, mantra, and meditation, dripping with tantrik bliss and wisdom - practices will range in theme and intensity with options for more and less vigorous approaches throughout each practice. We will intentionally approach practice sessions beyond the scope of normal studio classes, to engage more fully with the unique views (both literal and worldview) of Non-Dual Tantra and the glorious generosity of the Hawaiian landscape and nature spirits. 

Pranayama - We will have at least two sessions dedicated to breathwork: first to cleanse and bring to the surface what is ready to be purged, then to open ourselves fully to the bliss of our inherent, most often untapped ultimate ALIVENESS! 

Meditation - daily meditation practices, both active and still/silent will be offered to integrate the teachings and give yourself space to JUST BE.

Mantra & Sound Healing - We will engage extensively throughout the retreat in mantra and song - many approaches to the tantrik path of vibration and how these can remind us of who/what WE TRULY ARE!

Ritual & Ceremony - We will be spending time with a local Kahuna early in our trip to orient us to the land we are on and the indigenous approach to spirituality and right relationship with the land and its spirits. We will also create a collective ritual to cultivate bliss and to integrate our experiences before we depart. All of our time together will be held with the reverence and intention of a ceremonial container for healing, awakening, and expansion of your blissful nature! 

Dancing! - During our stay, we have the opportunity to attend Ecstatic Dance, held on-site at the venue, where locals will also attend. And you can dance anywhere and everywhere you want because indeed it is one of the most DIRECT PATHS TO BLISS!

Adventures! - We also have the opportunity to visit local waterfalls and beaches, or to go on a private whale-watching cruise with local guides. These will be TBD depending on interest and attendance for the whole group, but we can share info on countless adventurous things to do near our venue during, before, and after your retreat @ Sundari Gardens.
