First and foremost, our programs are highly customized to the small groups of 2-8 people. Every day, (when weather permits) we are going on a Journey, to immerse ourself into one or more of the Big Island's natural treasures. We will meditate in gently swaying hammocks by crushing waves, have Dharma Talks next to magnificent waterfalls or lava craters. Our teachers and materials to contemplate are carefully selected and procured for the specific group in question.​​
​
We tremendously respect traditional Silent Retreats, but here we respectfully break with traditional practices and structures, and introduce comfort, playfullness and contemporary techniques. Instead of long and boring meditation, we fly giant bubbles or kites in silence, arrange natural  mandalas or balance rocks at the beach. In other words, calming the mind, meditating in silence can also be fun, playful and optional, instead of mandates. Techniques that have worked thousands of years ago, we respectfully admire but we are going to offer more contemporary, fun and optional features as mindful techniques during the retreat.
