Sacred Lomi Hawaii Retreat
Our Lomilomi Retreat in Hawaii is held on the Big Island of Hawaii once or twice a year.
Hawaii is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, and there is much to explore from Black Sand Beaches to Waipio Valley, the City of Refuge, the Volcano, Lava Tubes, Whales, Dolphins, Turtles, Steam vents and more. Although Kilauea has been active, it is now calmer. Our retreat is held near Hawi, which is on the North shore of the island, away from volcanic activity and the smog/vog.
- You can arrive at Hawaii Island Retreat by 3pm the day the retreat begins.
- Check in time at the retreat center is between 3:00pm and 4:30pm.
- The Retreat Begins at 5pm in the Ocean Front Yoga Room aka Sacred Lomi Temple Space.
- We will have dinner about 6:30 that evening.
- On the last day of the Retreat, our closing circle ends by noon.
- It is usually best to arrive on the island of Hawaii a day or two prior to the retreat, to recover from jetlag and wind-down from daily life.
- Often participants stay for a few days after the retreat, to give themselves integration time before diving back into the demands of life.
