ACCOMMODATIONS & PRICING
You’ll be staying in a quiet, lush residential home just minutes from town. Surrounded by tropical fruit trees, feel free to pick your own papaya, starfruit, calamansi, pink lemon, bananas, and lilikoi (passion fruit)! The Hawaiian phrase “He po walea, he ao i ka la’i” translates into “peace brings undisturbed nights and days.” This fully-furnished house has vaulted ceilings, wrap-around lanais, and decorated with Hawaiian and Asian touches. For your convenience, you’ll have high speed wifi, well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, beach equipment such as snorkel gear, beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards.
You’ll be at 700 ft above sea level. Homes at that elevation typically don’t have A/C as the weather is cooler, and ceiling fans and open windows make for a comfortable environment. The temperatures in downtown Kona in June average 74-85F, and at the retreat house it will be about 3-4 degrees cooler.

A Land Born of Fire and Water
The Big Island is formed by five volcanoes, with Kīlauea, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, continuously reshaping the land. Lava flows meet the ocean, creating new land in an awe-inspiring display of creation and destruction. This process embodies:
Transformation: The eruption of lava may seem destructive, but it is nature’s way of creating something new and fertile.
Growth: Lava, once cooled, enriches the soil, paving the way for lush vegetation and vibrant ecosystems. Over time, the barren rock gives life to rainforests and thriving communities.
Healing: The cycles of eruption and regrowth remind us that even after devastation, there is opportunity for renewal and beauty.
When you set an intention on the Big Island, be prepared for your dreams to manifest and magnify! Dr Lynn is so excited to share her favorite healing island with you.
