Offering a unique invitation to join Dick Schwartz in the healing, tranquil, and magical environment of Hui Ho’olana.  In this seven day retreat we will explore the spiritual side of IFS through  meditation & exercises designed to access high levels of Self-energy, inviting guidance regarding a vision for your life, and further unburdening your parts as a way to remove obstacles to accessing Self.

At Hui Ho’olana you will be welcomed to experience the peace and inspiration that can come to light in an atmosphere of acceptance, respect and support. Through Dick’s guidance and the IFS model you will be offered the practice of ho’oponopono (the Hawaiian concept “to make things right”) by using the evolving conceptual spiritual framework of IFS to deeply heal exiles.

The inspiring and nurturing environment, superb natural food, small and intimate venue of 15 – 17 participants, and Dick’s Self led guidance, offer a unique and unmatched opportunity to further your IFS journey.

This advanced retreat is being offered to participants with a minimum of Level 1 IFS training.

Dick Schwartz is the founding developer of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy offering a clear, non-pathologizing, and empowering method of understanding human problems, as well as an innovative and enriching philosophy of practice that invites both therapist and client to enter into a transformational relationship in which healing can occur. Over the past 30 years IFS has gained global recognition and is being used in many venues other than psychotherapy, where it had it’s roots.

email: tania@advivum.ca
website: www.advivumjourneys.ca

A mini-sabbatical; take a breath and gift yourself the energy, time and courage to answer one of life’s biggest questions, “Who do I want to be now?” Explore authenticity, happiness, and personal power; Re-Imagine yourself into who you were always meant to be by honouring the wisdom of your life lived, breaking the rules that no longer fit and claiming the gifts that are uniquely yours. This highly creative and experiential experience will be the beginning of a new way of seeing yourself; without the stories you tell yourself about who you should be and the exhausting standards (yours and societies’) you live up to. Intentionally choose to redefine beauty-power-womanhood and lean into what’s next. If not now, then when?

This retreat includes 3 months of workbooks and coaching prior to and following the retreat. Registration closes October 2019.

A workshop about fully engaging body, heart and mind in the practice of photography

website: John Barclay Photography

Seeing Deeply is a learned discipline and takes practice. Our intent is to encourage you to enter the embodied practices of contemplative photography throughout the week during which we will learn to deepen our capacity for intimacy with our subjects, with our equipment and technique, and with each other. Seeing Deeply is an invitation to show up more fully in each moment, to be captured by the beauty of the world, and to become more skillful in the art of photography. We might be so bold as to say that this is an invitation to photography as spiritual practice.

He is an experienced therapist and master teacher who assists people in softening barriers to love, both inside and outside.

Phone: 415-488-6880
Web site: Process Arts
email: info@processarts.com

Join Stewart Cubley for the 24th year of his workshops at Hui Ho’olana. This retreat fills up quickly, so make sure to register early! This Moloka’i Intensive gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless presence of process painting, beyond the pace and pressures of a busy life. You will dive into ten uninterrupted days of deep relaxation and creative awakening with a small community in the pristine setting of the Hui Ho’olana.

The foundation of this intensive is personal attention in the painting process, in the nurturing environment, and in the small group interactions. This is Stewart’s longest and most personalized group program, and the opportunity to make a lasting investment in yourself and your life. It has proven to be a powerful catalyst for change by all who’ve experienced it.

For over four decades, Stewart Cubley has pioneered a way of integrative and creative living through the practice of process painting. Stewart travels throughout the world, teaching his unique approach to thousands of people at personal growth centers such as the Esalen and Omega, multinational corporations, programs in prisons and countless other public forums. Stewart is the co-author of the highly acclaimed book, Life, Paint & Passion, Reclaiming the Magic of Spontaneous Expression (Tarcher/Putnam). He and his wife, Shae Irving, live in Fairfax, California and part of the year on their homestead near Denali Park, Alaska.

“I have to tell you that process painting has opened me up to something wild and true in my life that has more or less catapulted me beyond the confines I was feeling. And in turn my life is getting wilder and freer and better.  I mean in  very, very substantial ways. THANK YOU.”  ~ Ted L.

DEC 5-12 WILD MERCY WOMEN’S RETREAT – Mirabai Starr

We did this because we feel it was the right thing to do – for all of us.   This decision puts the well being of our local community and ohana before our financial needs. On the one hand, this was a very challenging decision because the Hui runs close to break even most years, setting aside a little each year to accumulate for special projects and reserves. When we ask ourselves “what is the responsible, loving action for all concerned?” – it was an easy answer.  We want to protect our local Molokai community AND not ask our teachers and their participants to increase their exposure to the COVID 19. We strongly believe that this decision follows our guiding values as a living sanctuary – when we choose the correct path, the universe will in turn provide us with what we need.
People have asked how they can help us continue to maintain the hui facilities during this time without income. Here  is a link to the donation area on the hui’s website for those interested in making a donation:  https://huiho.org/wp/contact-donate/
We will miss seeing each and every one of you this year and pray that you and your Ohana navigate these times as gracefully as possible, coming ‘home’ to the Hui again in 2021.  Holding you in a vision of good health,
Your Hui Ohana
Hui workshops will begin again starting in February, 2021.
