Join us for 3 days on the transformative Big Island of Hawaii for a retreat in mindful community. Step out of the busy world of constant activity and doing. Drop into a spacious container to refresh, reconnect and renew.
Big Island, Hawaii at the Fairmont Orchid
We will gather to listen deeply to what is emerging in our life and work, and see what is there for us to discover. Join us for the unique chance to meet others who share this interest in wisdom, awareness, and compassion. Together we will explore what it means to be in community, and give and receive support.
Whether you are from the corporate world, non-profit community, education, or work independently, we welcome all -- join us for 3 days in Hawaii for meditation, movement, and small and large group conversation to better know ourselves and rekindle a sense of wonder, play, and community. Unlike our large conferences with several thousand people, this will be a much smaller intimate gathering of friends and colleagues.

Closing Session
The Wisdom 2.0 Retreat will be held on the Kohala Coast at the beautiful Fairmont Orchid hotel on the Big Island. An ideal location to enjoy natural surroundings while diving more deeply into conversations about our greater purposes in the world, and the intersects that exist in all of our efforts.
Most of the earth's climate zones are represented on the Big Island, from arid coastal and desert areas, to lush old-growth rainforests and alpine mountain slopes, presenting a wondrous diversity of landscape and experience.
The Big Island of Hawaii has long been known as the healing island. According to Hawaiian legends, Hawaii's Big Island is the home of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire. The spirit of Pele has a way of cutting through blockages and bringing to light innermost yearnings.
