2023 Kauai Retreat with Jac
Hawaii, USA: June 15-20, 2023
Go on a nourishing adventure for your whole being
Support your spiritual journey and growth with an immersive Hawaii retreat with Jac. This 6-day event features deep spiritual inquiry and sessions led by Jac, aimed towards advanced and dedicated individuals on the path.
If you are ready to take your awakening to the next level, you will learn how to integrate your expanded state with your everyday way of being in the world. Find clarity on where you are living out of alignment and the habitual thought patterns that keep you stagnant in your spiritual evolution and daily life. This is fundamental to maintain shifts in consciousness after the retreat.
You'll enjoy the added benefit the healing land of Kauai offers during your time here. Activities and excursions outside the satsang sessions are planned to get the full Aloha experience.
What Can I Expect from the Retreat?
Jac will lead satsang where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get individual guidance that's specific to your path. You'll also inquire and drop-in further with guided meditations.
There will be 2 activities/sessions with Jac each day. At least one session a day will be satsang, the second being an outing to explore Kauai, or another satsang meeting. Part of the retreat experience will be exploring Kauai with excursions around the island, for fun and for spiritual growth. It will be an adventure, and we'll share rides to our destination to minimize cars on the road.
Take 6 days out of your routine to be surrounded by nature in a luscious tropical setting. You will have the time and support to rest deeply, clear your mind, and try new things. And you’ll have daily access to a spiritual teacher who is dedicated to empowering all who come to her events to take the next step in their spiritual evolution.
Excursions with Jac
Each day will include 2 meeting times with Jac. At least one meeting will be for satsang, and the second will be an excursion around Kauai with Jac or another satsang meeting.
The structure outside of the satsang meetings will be fluid and open to spontaneity. Here is some of what we may do during our time together outside of satsang:
• Visit sacred sites on Kauai that are some of Jac's favorite meditation spots.
• Hike on the beautiful trails Kauai has to offer, and visit the farmer's market to nourish yourself with local foods.
• Visit the Botanical Gardens
• Catch the dramatic views, sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, and go swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters.
• Participate in a celebratory fire ceremony on the beach with the group to close the retreat.
Logistics
Accommodations are not included in retreat registration. We recommend using AirBnB to find housing. Book early to secure a spot as places fill up fast in June. Some accommodation reservations don’t have an option to cancel after 24 hours of making the booking so read the fine print on all listings.
We will have a dedicated Facebook group to connect people who are interested in talking to other participants to arrange shared transportation or housing options.
Transportation: If you really like to drive, you can book a rental car at places like Expedia, Priceline, and Turo. Please let us know if you are willing to give rides to others who might be staying close to your accommodation. There is also a local bus service that is more or less reliable.
