imagine this being your day
​
Imagine waking up to the beauty of nature all around you. Begin your day with a delicious morning smoothie or tea at the open-air restaurant, then take a leisurely walk through the magnificent gardens. Head over to the spacious, fully equipped yoga shala for an invigorating morning yoga session led by Donna and Sarah. Spend your afternoon snorkeling, hiking, shopping in town, indulging in a massage, or relaxing with a good book by the pool. As the day winds down, meet back at the yoga shala for a restorative evening yoga session complete with the sounds of nature, meditation, and breathwork. Afterward, enjoy a gourmet dinner made with fresh local ingredients, laughing and conversing with your new friends. Finally, return to your luxurious room for a restful night’s sleep, filled with feelings of gratitude.
In this idyllic setting, where your biggest decision might be, "Should I get a massage today or read by the pool?" you'll find yourself slowing down and moving into a state of calm reflection. Spending a week so close to nature helps detoxify the mind from the constant inundation of media and technology, giving you the opportunity to reconnect with your most essential and true self.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions
DO I NEED TRAVEL/MEDICAL
INSURANCE?
Yes, you will need to purchase travel insurance. I cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. Travel and medical insurance are both highly recommended. Most health insurance companies will not cover out of country expenses.
​​
Purchasing your travel insurance within 14 days of booking your trip is where you will typically see the best rates.
​
I have used Allianz Travel Insurance for both domestic and international insurance. Another option for price comparison is Travel Insurance. Ask questions and do research to find the best option for you.
AIRPORT-AIRLINE TIPS
Please DO NOT book your flight until you receive notification that retreat minimums have been met.
Kahulua airport you will fly into. Airport code is OGG. The airport is a 20-minute drive from our venue.

WHAT IF I HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?
DO YOU PROVIDE A SHUTTLE TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT?

​
Check "yes" on your booking form if you are interested in connecting with others and sharing the cost of a rental car.
WHAT IF I'M TRAVELING SOLO?
No problem! Donna will match you with a compatible solo traveler with whom you are comfortable. Prefer a private space? Private accommodations may be available at additional cost.
​
If you book a shared room and we don't have another solo traveler to pair you with, there will be an upcharge for a private room.
Maui’s climate creates an abundance of fresh, Maui dining year-round. Mango, lilikoi, guava, avocado, papaya are among the 200 species of plants which produce food and grow generously on property. Our venue's onsite restaurant, The Wooden Crate, prepares farm-to-table meals daily. They happily accommodate various diets, from vegan to paleo and everything in between!

ANY THOUGHTS ON JOINING A RETREAT BY MYSELF IF I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE?
I went on my first ever retreat knowing no one except for the retreat leader and had the most incredible experience. I loved having the space to meet new people and also spend quality time with myself in whatever way felt nourishing moment to moment. I was placed in a shared room with another woman who started as a kind stranger and quickly became a close friend by the end of the retreat. If you’re feeling called, I can’t recommend a solo experience enough!
HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
I am here to help answer anything you might be wondering about. Hearing from you helps keep the FAQ section as informational as I can make it while you make your decision.

​
In a world filled with distractions and demands, yoga and mindfulness are great ways to hit pause, pay attention and return to the present moment by focusing on what is directly in front of us. The only moment that exists. With journal workshops sprinkled in our time together you may find it easy to get clear on what is important for you to create in your life and sink into your new year intentions.
​
In addition to leading retreats Internationally and in the US, I own a yoga studio in WI, am a Reiki Master, Astrologer, lead private events for local businesses and teach weekly classes.
