Aloha Dear Family & Friends,


Envision Yourself:

In the sacred temple of nature in Hawaii swimming with friends in playful exuberance.  

Being purified by waterfalls and gentle streams.  Singing and dancing into Unified Bliss.  Experiencing the magical power of breath.  Deepening your commitment in the heart of silence with God.  Being inspired to fulfill your destiny, standing in a circle of love, sending healing to the world.  

Over the years many have made the annual pilgrimage from all parts of the world to spend a week being healed in nature and participating in a group process moving toward the ideal of LOVE, HARMONY & BEAUTY .  .  .  going deeply into the heart of Aloha!

I hope you can join us for this Divine week of sharing that has transformed many lives and extended our Spiritual Ohana throughout the world.
