What aspects of your life are ready for full blossom this summer?
Join us on the Big Island of Hawaii to harness the potent power of the summer solstice energy as we bask in the aliveness of the volcano goddess Pele’s fertile lands and majestic seas to expand our connection to self, nature and belonging in community.
Solstice amplifies our vision, fuels our fire, enhances our sensitivity to possibilities beyond our old stories and stale identities. We feel into the new who we want to be. We ignite the process of embodying our future self in this moment. We illuminate both our intentions and blockages to create our most meaningful life. We commune our wholeness within to heal our relationships.
Summer unfolds an expansion of our energies, both healthy and unhealthy, beautiful and messy, light and dark. Clarity allows us to see ourselves fully. Compassion helps us choose expression of our inherent goodness. Courage warms our heart to melt old hurts for our inner self to blossom. These themes are related to the alchemical element of Fire.
Join us for our special summer solstice sabbatical week to cultivate the fiery joy and aliveness of Pele’s lands on Big Island, Hawaii. Our group cultivation guide and guest healer for this sacred journey is Dr. Paul C. Wang, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM). Dr. Wang will share his integration of martial, medical, and mystical paths as our collective story of mythic mastery — a process which actualizes our full potential. Through practical principles and meaningful flows, he will orchestrate a series of three 2-hour morning activation sessions throughout the sabbatical week to harmonize our mind, heart, body with soul, spirit, source.
