Program

To be held by the arms of the mother - the original mother; mother earth gives “coming home” an entirely new meaning. To come home to the love of the mother within yourselves is to return to your primal connection to all things on this planet.

When you return to the home within, you remember that you are never alone, always held and always cared for. You become your own compassionate nourishment. You become the sacred mother essence you’ve always needed.

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of ocean waves, feeling the warm Hawaiian sun on your skin, and breathing in the fresh island air. Picture yourself surrounded by lush greenery and the island's vibrant energy, ready to connect deeply with like-minded individuals on a similar path of healing and self-discovery.

The Hawaiian islands are known to be a place “from which life springs.” There is no better place to embark on an intentional journey of healing the mother wound than on this sacred land. She will hold your experience as you re-remember the life spring that lives within you. She will support and facilitate your remembering of who you truly are.

Gnosis Rena and Laurel Carter will guide you through their comprehensive workshops during this retreat. You will also be guided through traditional Hawaiian practices with the beloved Aulii, a local traditional Hawaiian practitioner and Hula Master. This well-developed program combines powerful techniques such as writing prompts, EMDR, subconscious healing, childhood regression therapy, self-massage, and somatic movement.

Together, you will explore and release the untapped power of your feminine energy.

Here’s what you can expect:

A serene opening ceremony to set your intentions
A full subconscious and somatic program to free yourself of old patterns and create space to live in a more balanced and creative way
A traditional Hawaiian cleansing ceremony to purify your spirit
An immersive hula class with Aulii to connect with Hawaiian culture
Local excursions to the pristine local beaches and parks and a scenic island hike
Nourishing meals catered by Gourmet Day Catering, ensuring you are fully supported

Like the waves of the ocean, the circumstances of your life will always ebb and flow. But when you embody your relationship with the entire ocean, you’re able to observe the waves as but a part (not the whole) of who you are. You are the ocean.

This retreat is designed for those ready to heal mother wounds and create closer connections to the divine feminine. Whoever you are, you are ready to embark on this journey to deepen your relationship with yourself and others, and this is your opportunity to transform and thrive.
