Day One:
Arrive and Get Settled
Day Two:
8:30-10:30 Beach Walk and Orientation
A practitioner-guided walk along one of Maui’s most beautiful beaches! A beautiful way to get oriented to Maui and your retreat, while greeting the day and being caressed by the soft saltwater breezes of Maui’s beautiful North Shore. Time for self-guided walks on your own can also be added to your itinerary. In this session you will be introduced to the retreat experience, explained the process of personal growth and change, guided to set your intentions and to begin the process of letting go of that which is no longer serving you. You will be introduced to the personal growth principles that will quicken your understanding and deepen your experience.
11:00-1:00 Insight to Self and Six Essential Life Skills with Eve
this session we explore a deep understanding of the human spirit and the ego mind, and tools for accessing our authentic essence, inner wisdom and sense of self-esteem. It seems that sense self-esteem diminishes over time such that by the time we are young adults many of us are essentially crippled by our negative self-talk, lack of confidence and the unconscious manipulative behaviors that ensue. This session will deepen your understanding and compassion for the human experience, provide a clear understanding of the ego’s misguided attempts to protect us and teach you how to turn your self-esteem around. This session will both deepen your understanding of yourself, and anyone else you are in relationship with. This will begin-or strengthen- the journey of self-love and authenticity, which is the first ingredient to a harmonious, sustainable relationship. The Six Essential Life Skills should be a part of everyone’s personal practice for accessing wisdom, making decisions and aligning our behavior with our goals. Whether applied to relationships, work or simply one’s personal well-being, mastering these essential skills allow you to master yourself.
1:15-2:15 Lunch (on your own)
1:00-3:00 Relationship With Self with Eve
Self-esteem is the foundation of all relationships. In this session you will explore your current state of esteem and assess which areas to focus on. Self-esteem is not something you seek outside of yourself, it is simply a matter of learning to reinterpret and retrain the self-talk of the ego mind. Take a deep look at where you are now, and where you want to be. This session will set you on the path.
3:30-5:00 Deep into the Labyrinth with Eve
While many understand the labyrinth as a walking mediation, the labyrinth is actually a rich field of metaphor for deeply understanding ourselves. The way of the winding path offers a mirror into which we can see ourselves and a blue-print for understanding the human spirit. Through a mix of information, a deepening perspective, the labyrinth walk and journaling processes, this promises to be a powerful experience.
Time for dinner, journaling, reflecting and integrating the day. Exercises will be offered for home practice.
Day Three:
9:00-12:00 Moontime Yoga ™ with Chrissy. This is far more than a yoga practice, this is a self-care, self-understanding and self-love practice.
Moontime YogaTM is a practice for women in all stages and phases of reproduction from the Maiden and the Mother to the Wild Woman and the Crone. It is an invitation to practice yoga in a soft feminine way that honors your body as a temple for the cycle of life, death and rebirth.
