Program and Atmosphere

Program and Atmosphere

You will awaken to the lush beauty of Hawaii, accompanied by (usually) a warming, gentle breeze, and the song of birds. 

We have chosen this gorgeous site for our retreat as a source of inspiration and vision of an abundant life. Step outside or stroll along the coastline to breathe in the pristine air and take in the expansive view of the ocean.

Our first group gathering each day will be a guided group meditation before breakfast. This is a powerful time for you to align with your spiritual source and join energetically with your co-participants.

We will have several training sessions each day that will enable you to step masterfully into your teaching practice. We will meet in the morning after breakfast from 9:15 AM until 12:30 PM, including a 15-minute break. 

After lunch, you will have some free time to rest, get outdoors, or connect with each other. You may want to avail yourself of a massage or healing treatment from the spa. We will meet again as a group from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Dinner will be at 6:00 PM. 

The sessions will support you to get clear on your personal intentions for your teaching path, build skills, bolster your confidence, establish or expand your practice, and have fun in the process. At the retreat we will also enjoy group bonding that will be a source of rich support for you and your program partners during the retreat and long afterward.

During the sessions you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your skills and receive feedback from Alan and the other participants. Alan will also work one-to-one with some participants during the group sessions. There will be a natural, progressive, easy unfolding, and you will have realizations that will help you personally and professionally.

Retreat Atmosphere

We invite you to be fully present at the retreat, and to not attempt to conduct your home life or your business from the retreat. If you are generally busy with family, relationship, or business management, the retreat is an extraordinary opportunity for you to step back and discover who you are, what you want, and where you are headed, independent of your regular routine and interactions. It will be a great week to recharge and renew your spirit. Please do not bring cell phones or electronic communication devices into the meeting room during the training sessions. If you wish to take notes, please use pen and paper. Use of alcohol or recreational drugs is not permitted at the retreat center or during the program. Please plan to focus on being at the retreat and minimize any interactions with home or business. All of us doing this will make the experience even more meaningful.

Weather and Clothing

Weather during this time in the retreat center area tends to be warm and sunny during the days, and cooler at night. Temperatures may be in the 80’s during the day and drop to around 70 at night. Dress for the retreat is comfortable and casual. Since we will be in close physical proximity to each other, we ask that you not use fragrances, including essential oils, since some people may be allergic.

Items to Bring

1. A personally meaningful item for the inspiration table we will co-create.  This can be anything that inspires you or has symbolic significance to you, such as a photo of a loved one; a gift you received; a stone; a feather; a piece of jewelry; a written poem; or whatever you feel guided to bring. You can take it home at the end of the program

2. Any information or promotional materials related to your aspirations. For example, a business card, brochure, photo(s); website address, or anything else that makes a statement about what you do or would like to do. If you don’t already have a professional piece produced, you can mock up a rough draft on your own. (This is optional, not required.)

The schedule during the retreat is subject to slight alteration.
