Retreat
Imagine spending an unforgettable week in paradise, swimming with wild dolphins, feasting on delicious organic food, dancing under the moon, and rejuvenating in a sacred waterfall. During this retreat, Dolphina will share with you her special connection with dolphins and her secrets to living your own Goddess Life. Nourish your body and spirit daily with 3 organic meals. Enrich your bellydance practice with The Goddess Workout Teacher Training classes. You will learn basic information and swim skills for meeting dolphins in the wild. We will observe their behavior and, upon invitation, enter the water to swim among them.
You can fill your days and nights with all the activities offered, or take time to relax at the beach, get a massage, smell the flowers, or shop.
Who comes?
Women of all ages (must be 18 years or older), sizes, and walks of life who desire an unforgettable experience. This retreat is appropriate for dancers of all levels, from absolute beginners to those who want to become licensed to teach the Goddess Workout. At the end of the Teacher Training, dancers have the option to purchase, for an additional fee, a license to become certified to teach The Goddess Workout with Dolphina.
It is usually best to be both a good swimmer and comfortable snorkeling in the ocean in order to swim with the dolphins. If you do not feel comfortable swimming in the open ocean, you will still be able to experience the magic of dolphins from the shore or boat.
The Center
Our GoddessLife retreat will take place at the lush and secluded Kolealea (which means bouncing waters in Hawaiian) in "upcountry" Maui. The center enjoys 80–degree weather year-round and is surrounded by Plumeria Trees, quiet walkways with bridges over streams and a valley of ginger, and the famous "road to Hana" is at our back door. We will dance in a studio with bamboo floors and views to the tropical garden on all sides.
Accommodations
There are several charming cottages nestled throughout the pristine aina (land) of Kolealea retreat center. Each house has something unique, including an outdoor shower, hot tub, and views. Sleeping is double occupancy.
The Cuisine
We will feast on 3 vegetarian gourmet meals a day. All meals are prepared by a loving staff dedicated to the spirit of Aloha using fresh local produce grown in their own organic gardens.
Transportation
Book and fly the airline of your choice. Dancers come from all over the world for our retreat and teacher training, so there is no way to include airfare in our package price. There are three airports on Maui. We will provide van pick-up and lei greeting at Kahului, Maui, HI (OGG-Kahului) Airport. You are welcome to rent your own car to explore the island.
Pricing
Cost of this retreat is $2,399. Price does not include airfare.
How to Register
Use our easy-to-use online application or simply print out the form and mail or fax, with your deposit check, money order, or credit card information to GoddessLife.
