 Rejuvenate Your Radiance Retreat in Kauai
"Moving Through Loss To Connection"Â
Â
There are so many ways we experience loss in life.
Each loss brings its own challenge, stressing our nervous system which affects our body, mind and spirit. We can lose our ability to relax and sleep well, to think clearly or to access our emotional resiliency and connect with others. We may not feel like ourselves and lose touch with feelings of hope or inspiration. Whether you are navigating the loss of a loved one or life transition, or searching for emotional peace and inner strength, this retreat is designed to support you.
Give yourself time for self care...
At this retreat, we offer a compassionate space for you to slow down and find your own unique way of finding healing and balance.

“Our western culture lacks adequate systems or rituals to help us process grief & loss. Many people are uncomfortable with our grieving, which leads us to "hold it together" for our families and peers. This often results in isolation, preventing us from receiving the support necessary to navigate the full journey of grief and loss.
I once heard from a Native American elder that we require at least a year to grieve a loss, as each season carries its own set of memories.
I experienced the loss of numerous friends to AIDS during the 1980s and 1990s. There was a moment when I felt overwhelmed by the thought of enduring another death. In my 20s and 30s, I was grappling with my own mortality far too soon, and my fear of dying from AIDS was becoming unbearable. This experience inspired me to establish my first workshop at AIDS, Medicine and Miracles, a conference organized by Marianne Williamson and Dr. Bernie Siegel. With the encouragement of fellow participants in the creative workshops, I was able to express my emotions and tap into the profound mystery of life.
Navigating through the cycles of grief has deepened my connection to my heart, spirit, and the essence of all creation. Grief can serve as a pathway to recognizing the interconnectedness and timelessness of our existence, helping us uncover our true Essence. This gift is more fully embraced through our connections with others and the natural world. The elements of earth, fire, water, and air can guide us on this journey, provided we are open to receiving their wisdom. If you’ve faced recent losses or have experienced multiple losses without the necessary support, consider joining us on the stunning island of Kaua’i.” Â
