Hawaii New Year Retreat
Dec 28, 2009 - Jan 3, 2010
Join Katja Brandis for a blissful week of yoga, resting and relaxing in one of the most beautiful places on this planet. Enjoy Hawaii’s nurturing beauty and live inside the outdoors in paradise -- green and lush where time is slow and easy.
Your day begins with invigorating vinyasa flow yoga greeting the sunrise, followed by deep meditation. Pamper yourself with rejuvenating body treatments, Hawaiian lomi lomi massage, hot stone treatment, shiatsu. "Tune up" your health with alternative healing methods like tai chi, chi gong and massage. The sun filled days will draw to a close with evening asana, yoga trance dance, beach fires, drumming, kirtan, somatic healing sessions and more.
Participants will have the choice to enjoy the beach, daily swimming in crystal clear Pacific waters, ocean activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, sailing, whale watching tours, canoe and kayaking, windsurfing, paragliding, swimming with wild dolphins, or just relaxing under a palmtree.
Hawaii’s natural abundances invites participants to explore the island with experienced guides way off the beaten track (Katja lived in Hawaii for 7 years) and not available to regular tourists. We'll guide you into virgin, tropical lush rainforest valleys and mountain tops, waterfall hikes, secluded fresh water pools, cliff diving, horseback riding, visiting ancient sacred sites. Spiced up by Hawaii’s local colorful melting pot of cultures, global history, international cuisines, and the powerfully felt presence of ancient spiritual traditions - Hawaiian, Buddhist, Taoist, Zen, and others - Hawaii is sure to have something to offer for everyone.
accommodations:
This beautiful location is the perfect retreat for everyone. From fresh flowers and sand chairs to a blender for tropical drinks, come and have an unforgettable vacation. Take long walks in the morning and enjoy the spectacular sunrises. Or, in the evening, gaze at the star-studded night sky; it is never the same from moment to moment, it is always changing, and time can stand still if you let it.
This well laid out, Hawaiian-style, family, beach house allows guests an opportunity to enjoy time together while still finding a niche for a quiet retreat.
