Riding the Wave of the Never-Ending Moment ~ 5 Day Retreat in HI

Join Rashani Réa for a special 5-day retreat at her eco-sanctuary on the Big Island of Hawai'i... Through inquiry, journaling, sharing in dyads, through silence and soetry (song and poetry) and whatever needs to be verbally expressed through the group, we will experience ourselves as integral façets of a unified field while allowing the solvent of awareness to effortlessly dissolve stories, which have calcified around unwanted circumstance from the past. This retreat begins on Passover and ends on Easter Sunday. "Rashani shows us how to live gracefully in our own skin and to drink the cup of our life without trying to fix, therapize, rationalize or use spiritual cosmetics to hide the disavowed aspects of our wholeness." -Helena Harris, London, Ontario "In a one-to-one or in a group process, Rashani is just so skillful at directing inquiry into our hearts, into who we think we are, and finding a balance between compassion—the Big heart—and also the precision of inquiry. It’s like a surgeon with a scalpel, an acupuncturist with a needle, has to go in the right place. She knows those places!" –Michael Fleck, Waiheke Island, Aoteoroa/New Zealand “Like a skilled martial artist, Rashani plays with the very personal and trans-rational, with shadows and light, silence and song, with the vulnerable and unbreakable. She is unassuming and down to earth despite her powerful presence and wisdom, which allows others to feel deeply welcomed and at home.” -David Hendersen, London, Ontario A social activist and prolific artist since childhood, Rashani continues to be a strong voice in the emerging inter-spiritual movement. She has also recorded 15 albums of songs, chants & poetry, published thirty books, and has created more than 350 greeting cards in celebration of the diversity of world wisdom.
