Slow down. Rest. Reconnect.
There is something deeply nourishing about slowing down.
Over the years, many of our KaHuna Massage and Heartworks Lomi Lomi practitioners have told us that one of the greatest gifts of training wasn't simply learning massage, it was the sense of belonging. Having time to reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with a community of like-hearted people.
That is the inspiration behind Ohana Stays.
In Hawaiian, Ohana means family - not only those we are related to, but the people we choose to journey through life with.
Ohana Stays are an invitation to come home to yourself, to community, and to the peaceful rhythm of High Spirits.
During your stay you may enjoy
KaHuna Massage and Heartworks Lomi Lomi refinement sessions
Massage exchanges with fellow Ohana members
Morning movement, meditation and gentle wellness practices
Self-care and personal reflection time
Shared meals and meaningful community connection
Rest, laughter, storytelling, and being held in the spirit of aloha
There is no pressure to achieve or perform.
Simply space to breathe.
Come alone… or bring someone you love.
One of the most beautiful things about an Ohana Stay is that you don't have to come alone.
Bring a friend, partner, colleague or someone who simply needs a little more aloha in their life.
They don't need to be a massage practitioner.
Sometimes the greatest gift is introducing someone you love to the magic of High Spirits.
Whether you've just completed your first training or have been part of our Ohana for many years, we look forward to welcoming you home.
Arrival & Welcome
Check in from 2:00 PM and settle into the tranquil surroundings before joining us for a relaxed welcome dinner and connection with fellow Ohana members.Departure & Integration
Our retreat concludes at 2:00 PM on the final day after lunch, giving you time to integrate your experience and carry the inspiration, connection, and magic home with you.Investment: $495

Come as you are. Leave remembering who you have always been....
Twenty years since we first gathered, and two years since we took a pause to reflect and refine, Spirit of Woman is returning to High Spirits.
Not because we need another retreat.
Because now more than ever we need to remember who we are: to sit around a fire, listen to the wind, rest upon the earth and be nourished by the waters of community and sisterhood.
Whether you attended two or ten or twenty years ago we invite you to Spirit of Woman Return:
Return to self
Return to sisterhood
Return to nature
Return to the elements
Return to what truly matters.
Over four days, we will:
Disconnect from overwhelm
Let go of demands and distractions
Nourish ourselves in body, mind and spirit
Return to ceremony and ritual
Return to sacred self.
We hope you are still holding gains from attending Spirit of Woman Elemental, but if you would like to experience more magic by joining Spirit of Woman Return we would love you to join us!
