About your trip

Immerse yourself in a mindful retreat on the stunning island of Maui. Next February, join us as we connect with, learn from, and care for the ocean. We will breathe through its waves, listen closely to its creatures and its music, and move with its waters. We will practice holistic sustainability, nourishing ourselves with the ocean's gifts, and giving back in return.


Enjoy tailored breathwork and meditation sessions, an exclusive Sounds of the Oceans Concert, immersive sound journeys, a private whale watching and listening experience, somatic movement sessions, a mindful ocean cleanup, and an excursion to the Maui Ocean Center.


Treat yourself to daily yoga and wellness sessions, massages, a hot tub, healthy soul food, and a breathtaking view at the beautiful Lumeria retreat center.


Dive deeper with private breathwork, expressive arts therapy, and neuropathic sessions. 


Connect with the mesmerizing humpback whales through all your senses during peak whale season, and let their healing powers transform you.


Let Maui take you on this magical journey and discover the Ocean within!

***10% of profits from this retreat will be donated to an Ocean Conservation Project!

Joshua Miller

Joshua Sam Miller is an award-winning Ocean artivist, multi-instrumental composer, immersive media director/producer and ecopreneur on a mission to connect people back to the natural world through the creative arts.  He creates bespoke immersive experiences that blend spatial audio with large-scale visual projections that foster relaxation, appreciation, and deeper awareness of our connection to nature.

Joshua's major international touring project, Sounds of the Ocean, blends this approach with powerful recordings of whales and dolphins to deliver mindful  journeys “beneath the sea.”  The project debuted at Burning Man 2019, has offered 100+ live performances across three continents and was featured at COP28, the 2022 UN Ocean Conference, COP27, COP26,  the 2020 International Year of Sound, and official World Ocean's Day events at UN Headquarters in New York City.  The project has been accepted to international film festivals winning awards for both its live and pre-recorded film formats including Best Musical Feature Film at Immersive Film Festivals Dome Fest West, IMERSA, Fulldome Festival and Fulldome UK.

In 2019, inspired by the lineages of Nada Yoga, Western Classical, Indian Raga, Afro-Cuban Rhythm, Jewish & Sufi mysticism and Jazz, Joshua founded Embodied Sounds, a mindful music label and immersive media production company.  The social-impact startup includes a globally distributed team of creatives producing and distributing original music, film and immersive content.  Embodied Sounds, Inc. is a member of 1% For the Planet, working closely with non-profits worldwide to support ocean conservation and environmental health.  Joshua hosts The Embodied Sounds Podcast, interviewing musicians, scientists, facilitators and experts working with the power of sound as a healing and transformational vehicle.

He lives with his wife and their cat near a lake in Germany, enjoying many walks in the forest and regular visits to the sea.
