6-Night Special Sabbatical in Hawai’i
Holistic Healing through Play & Ayurveda
with Indy Rishi Singh
AuGUST 25-SEPTEMBER 2, 2026
BIG ISLAND, HAWAI’I
This special sabbatical week reconnects and re-inspires us toward our unique purpose while providing tools to mitigate burnout and moral injury in the process.
We will build our inner capacity with practices that encourage neuroplasticity to make our external problems more solvable while dissolving blocks and prohibitive patterns.
We will begin our day learning how to relax and breathe effectively with Raja Yoga (the yoga of royal action) so that we can step into our power and purpose more joyfully and resiliently.

Ayurveda is the key to understanding oneself in relationship with Nature and the elements.
Imagine yourself slowing down to be immersed in nature… resting, daydreaming and stargazing for a week or even longer. Give yourself permission to shift from “doing” to “being”. Bring silence to your planning mind and allow your intuitive spirit to guide you back home to yourself. Sleep in an intentionally designed space for deep, restorative rest. Play, create, and vision whenever the inspiration strikes.
Receive targeted guidance from your sabbatical guides who can help bring greater awareness to an area of your life you’d like to revitalize. Together, we will bring sacred ritual into your daily routine through our toolkit of practices, inquiry questions and unique approach to accelerated transformation.
Enjoy a total life reset with this custom curated journey just for you on our sacred land. Our spaces are intentionally attuned for your inner exploration and accelerated transformation.
“For me, it’s really about guiding people into a place where they can tap into their own body and their mindset.”
