When you’ve begun to read about transformation, but it still isn’t enough, you’re ready for an encounter with your own depth. When everything else fails the soul calls out for an experience, not a normal vacation. It’s the time when Hawaii calls – and it’s the time Sacred Voyages calls. Whether in the center of the island’s most powerful energetic zones or in the depths of the ocean, Sacred Voyages is a true sacred journey, guided by experienced facilitators, utilizing the island’s healing intelligence.
A spiritual retreat is the opportunity to break free from what is normal and familiar, to leave behind the routines, roles and identities that are built around the ‘normal’ way of life. The Hawaiian islands are not just a lovely place to visit, they’re a field of life – mana – which is sacred and that animates the earth, the ocean and the volcanic soil. The results of such an invigorated setting brought together with sincere inner work is different from what can occur at any other landscape.
Shamanic Awakening is a process, a method.Shamanic Awakening is a process and a method.
Inner expansion is not just about relaxing gently, it’s about awakening to the parts that you’ve been hiding from, the parts that you’re not aware of. A shamanic awakening retreat is not a quick fix or a cure all, but a sacred space and practice for breaking cyclic negative patterns, releasing old grief and reconnecting with ones’ power.
Shamanic practices bypass the conscious mind, or what is known as ordinary consciousness, and tap into the subconscious mind, or non-ordinary consciousness, where your blocks lie. Participants are invited to meet their limitations and to remember their essential nature through rhythmic drumming, breathwork and techniques of extracting energy. It’s the removal of the conditioning from how you were taught to be so you can be what you are.
Why the Land of Hawaii is a Teacher’s Land
The islands’ raw and youthful geology is what sets the spiritual retreat hawaii apart from any place in the world. The islands of Hawaii continue to be in the process of formation. The forces of creation and destruction are literally alive – the lava turns to new earth under the sea.
A Shamanic Awakening Retreat reveals your own path as do the mountains, rivers, and lakes that surround you. The old forms that have served you must be dissolved into allow for new forms. The land is the key to this change. Volcanic fields are an energising device for comprehending death and rebirth as one and the same process. At the same time, the whole spectrum of the Pacific Ocean helps cut through mental clutter, soothing and bringing about emotional release. The ancient temples, waterfall pools and other elements in the temple setting hold unique healing frequencies that can settle the more intense realisations that arise during the ceremony.
Designed a container that is safe and has high integrity.Created a safe and integrity container.
When a person is in deep spiritual states, he/she is automatically open and susceptible to all kinds of outside influences and the integrity of the facilitators is vital. A true retreat is very structured, has a focus on safety and has a firm boundary. Facilitators should be totally open in regards to their apprenticeships, training and lineages.
In addition, there must be screening procedures in place which clearly rule out any medical or psychiatric contraindications prior to participation in a program. The service isn’t over after the service. What is often overlooked, but what is so powerful to make a temporary peak experience an ongoing, sustainable shift in your relationships, work and lifestyle is the quiet, sometimes understated process of discussion and journaling.
Being ready for Your Journey
There is a lot of preparation that involves weeks prior to boarding a plane. It is strongly recommended that you limit your caffeine, alcohol and heavy media intake in the week leading up to your retreat in Hawaii to maximize the benefits you get from the retreat!
Start by taking some time to unplug digitally, and spend 10 minutes with quietness each day. Make sure to write down what you want to release and/or what you want to know, but do so loosely, as in, “I’m going to release this thing”, or “I’m going to find out what’s going on in my life”. A shamanic awakening retreat is often quite intuitive, and can reveal to you the healing you thought you needed – but you didn’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What’s the difference between a retreat to awaken your shamanic gifts and a stay at a wellness resort?
The primary focus of wellness resorts is to pamper the body, to relax and to get away from the stress of everyday life. A shamanic healing container is a process of active inner work, root emotional blocks and a ceremony that brings about lasting psychological and spiritual transformation.
Q2 is that anybody can attend a spiritual retreat hawaii program.
R: All those who have a good heart to grow are welcome. But, since deep emotional work can happen, high integrity facilitators need to have health screening forms in advance to make sure that there are no conflicting psychological and/or medical conditions.
Q3 Do some of the work requires prior experience in meditation and/or shamanism.
A: No, you don’t need to have any experience. The programs are designed to take complete beginners through the processes, as well as advanced practitioners – but you must come with an open mind and be willing to be involved in the programs completely.
Q4: Who is on the hook after the retreat for integrating in?
A: Integration brings together all of the insights you have had during the retreat and applies them to life. This includes facilitated group discussions, journaling and concrete actions given to you by your guide(s) to help you maintain the results of your breakthroughs at home.
Q5: Are they experiences that are associated with a religious belief system?
A: No, shamanic practice is not prescriptive, nature-based and provides a way to discover oneself and heal. There are no conflicts and they engage from all religious backgrounds or those who are spiritual but not religious.
