Honu Heart Retreat
A Journey to Inner Wisdom on the tropical paradise of Maui.
with Linda Prosche and Katy Cole
February 6th - 9th, 2025
Experience the tranquility of Lumeria Maui, a tropical sanctuary resort and educational center nestled in the heart of Upcountry Maui. Enjoy stunning ocean and valley views while basking in the warm embrace of Aloha hospitality. This central location provides easy access to Maui's best beaches, surf, waterfalls, and outdoor adventures.
While Lumeria offers optional delicious farm-to-table cuisine, we've curated a unique culinary experience that showcases the island's fresh, organic, local flavors. Indulge in a variety of sustainably sourced foods and beverages crafted with the same care and passion that defines Maui's vibrant culture.
Imagine yourself at Lumeria Resort, occupying 5.6 acres of private Upcountry Maui land. Breathe in the fresh air, soak in the stunning morning rainbows, unwind by the sparkling pool, and find deep relaxation in this idyllic setting. Lumeria embodies the true spirit of aloha (love, compassion) with its luxurious accommodations, commitment to sustainable practices, and dedication to holistic wellness. Explore their beautiful sanctuary and discover more about their philosophy at the Lumeria Resort Website.
Our Honu Heart Retreat schedule starts 4:00 PM ish on Thursday, Feb. 6th for welcome reception, pupus, meet and greet, and plenty of hugs. (We encourage you to travel with a light heart, leave plenty of time to manage any delays and get settled into your room and enjoy the grounds of Lumeria Retreat Center.) We will have an evening welcome and introductory practice.
We will end our retreat on Sunday, Feb. 9th. After an AM practice, you will have time to check out of your room and for those that can, we will meet for an early lunch. Depending on your travel plans, you may want to extend your stay on the magnificent island of Hawaii and continue at Lumeria (they have graciously offered to extend our retreat pricing...subject to availability) or book other accommodations to reap the continuing benefits of our time in retreat.
Practices: Start your morning early with a walk/swim at the beach or meditation at Lumeria—AM energizing yoga and PM restorative yoga practice.
Favorites: Embark on optional afternoon/evening adventures to Linda’s favorite spots on the island. We will connect with the spirit of Aloha and to each other through sunrises or sunsets. Hike through the lush rainforests of Makawao, visit cascading waterfalls, or simply relax on Lumeria's beautiful property with access to the spa (treat yourself to a pre-booked massage for a special discount at Lumeria.com)
Nourishment for Body and Soul: Delicious daily breakfasts featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients at Lumeria are included in the price. We will all enjoy healthy and satisfying lunches on our adventures or at one of the local eateries in nearby towns. A special Aloha reception is being prepared on the afternoon of your arrival; however, all other evening meals are not included in the price.
