The Kauai Retreat is a real life story of a magical time. A Sacred Sanctuary inviting us to cultivate our inner light. Reuniting us with other beautiful souls in the true Hawaiian spirit of Aloha. With words and spiritual energy the cosmic celestials and many beautiful tranquil beaches, gardens and friends facilitate our rejuvenation and renewal of all our divine joys. The scent of the ocean breeze and native flowers fills the morning air. The Retreat begins in the morning filling our day with visits to sacred grounds for ceremony, connecting with the five elements of the world or enjoying the spectacular sites of Kauai. Sunset cools the Hawaiian night air and invites us to twilight teaching by the Island’s master teachers. The teachers of the Island share their traditions, sacred sites as well as their empowering and wonderful teachings. The topics shared by the guests teachers as well as Billie Topa Tate are spirit guided. The retreat style is an open forum for the topics presented by the teachers. Each of the sacred teachings will be shared in several levels of practices, meditations and hands-on methods that will allow you to experience the inner workings and beneficial results regarding these ancients’ teachings. |
