RETREAT ON A VORTEX
Ancient Hawaiians came to Kealakekua Bay as a place for rest and revitalization. The bay is located on one of the planet’s 10 major vortices. According to mystics and sacred geometry, this location has a predisposition for inter-dimensional experiences as it creates a ‘portal’ or ‘star gate.’
