Discover profound insights as you navigate these polarities, fostering personal growth and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you. Embark on a profound journey of self-discovery at our exclusive retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii, where we explore the intricate dance of duality within each of us.. Join us as we delve into the interplay of light and dark, and the harmonious balance of feminine grace and masculine strength intertwined within us all.
Discover how embracing both the radiant light and the nurturing darkness can lead to profound inner harmony and wholeness. Explore the dynamic interplay of feminine intuition and masculine action, finding empowerment in their unity. Step into a space of deep introspection and growth, where you honor the beauty of duality and awaken to your true essence.
Find soulful connection with likeminded women as you are guided by the earth elements to a celebration of yourself.
Together with an intimate container of a dozen soul sisters, you will unfold sacred journeys, into your own pathways toward transformation, in a cultural immersion into the heartland of Hawaii's spiritual core -- the Big Island.
Sound and vibration play a pivotal role in this transformational retreat: you will move your body in somatic awareness exercises set to music, activate your voice through song and spoken word, heal and integrate with sound bath meditations, and allow Mother Nature’s noises and musicality to weave a tapestry of sonic textures in your retreat journey.
Nourishing and fresh local cuisine will fuels you as you stretch your body in daily morning yoga, mindful hikes and outdoor explorations, and initiate into meditation, breathwork, vocal activations, and somatic movement embodiment workshops with skilled facilitators who bring their presence and passion to the forefront of the retreat.
You'll also cleanse in the energetic waters of the Big Island, harness your breath to connect with your body, and get back into your body through somatic explorations, dance and movement, and burn your proverbial baggage in ceremonial fire with sacred burn release and cacao ceremonies, and sound bath meditations.
Join in the sisterhood and explore nature’s rhythms in an island paradise, and your own relationship with her mysterious elements in the magical setting of the Kona's magical tropical beach landscape.
At the retreat, each day begins with yoga and mindfulness, and the meals follow a plant-forward focus that highlights and pays homage to the seasonal ingredients of the area.
There will also be cultural activities and ecotourism adventures that support the inner explorations of your journey, and participants celebrate achievements and milestones in ceremonies that light up their body, mind, and spirit.
-Equal footing: Facilitators and participants co-create a container where they are all on a transformative journey together, blurring the lines between teachers and students. The group will all benefit from a level playing field of sisterhood that moves through the journey as one.
-Nature as fourth facilitator: As a co-facilitator of the highest inspiration, Mother Nature invites you to “rewild” into your truest form, learning tools of release, manifestation, somatic regulation and awareness, conscious communication, and a safety, trust, and security in your own life to rise and return “home” to yourself.
Workshops will be taken even outside of the four walls of a conference room or yoga studio, into Mother Nature, which creates a powerful grounding container that truly sets the stage for rewilding to your intrinsic nature.
-Workshops include:
*Daily yoga and meditation
Grounding and somatic anchoring practices

-Sound bath meditation: There is no organ system in the body that does not react to sounds, music, and vibrations. A sound bath is an invitation to welcome healing vibrations through the different layers of your body and to let the great power of music restore you.
It allows you to release old or negative energies and stress which are stored inside. You will feel more calm and deeply relaxed, and when this happens, you will tend to heal faster.
-Voice activation: The voice is the internal gateway between mind and body. It is a powerful healing tool that helps you to release tensions. During the voice activation workshop, we will guide you to release the fear of judgment and reconnect with the joy of singing in a natural and spontaneous way through different exercises.
There are no right or wrong sounds here. It is about activating your right to be heard, opening up your throat chakra, empowering your unique voice, and also to listen fully to others - a magical moment of co-creating songs among women.
-Conscious communication and writing workshops: As a lifelong storyteller with a background in journalism and communications, Renee’s journey has revolved around authentically connecting with people and teasing out their unique and beautiful stories using written and spoken word.
Tapping into all aspects of words and language, Julie will lead workshops that center around connection: to source, to self, and to each other as sisters journeying side by side along a beautiful, unfolding path back home.
-Through intimate workshops and uplifting shared experiences, you will:
*Boost your confidence by stepping outside of your comfort zone
*Get grounded in nature by unplugging from technology and surrounding yourself in a nurturing environment ideal for transformation
*Connect with your body through yoga, breathwork, and movement workshops
*Learn new skills: how to travel and explore in a new place, try new foods and expose yourself to a different culture, learn tools of practice in self-growth modalities, and build tribe with a sisterhood of likeminded women who love the outdoors and travel
*Forge bonds of friendship with other soul sisters surrounded by the peace and power of the Big Island and a clarifying vision of 2025
%You will return feeling rejuvenated, connected with yourself and other soul sisters, and ready to share your best self with your loved ones. You deserve this time out for yourself.
-This Kona, Big Island, Hawaii retreat is for you if you are:
*Experiencing intense emotions and moods, and feel faced with uncertainty, overwhelming feelings, and anxiety
*Curious about cultivating mindful, positive connection with a community around topics that matter in a safe, supported, and non-judgmental virtual setting
*Seeking tools, resources, and tips on how to reclaim some empowerment in your life
*Craving an escape from the day to day monotony, and desire to honor yourself and stoke your personal growth during this difficult time
*Excited to meet other women like you who share an interest in body, mind, and spirit through curated group settings that stretch you in fitness, intention setting, self-examination, and outdoor activity
*Interested, inspired, and intrigued to experience a new type of gathering and form friendships with other women who are seeking positive support and encouragement
-What if you don’t have a buddy to attend the retreat with?
*Rest assured, that is part of the adventure. While some women attend Wild Women Tribe excursions with a friend, the majority are drawn solo to the chance to meet new women who enjoy outdoor pursuits, self-development, and overcoming challenges.
Stepping into unknown territory and newness is part of the magical Wild Women Tribe formula. You will be in great hands and feel accomplished that you conquered your fears in the process! You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly you form bonds of friendship and solidarity with a tribe of newfound, kickass women.
-What if you're drawn to some of the activities, and want to opt out of others?
*None of the activities is mandatory! They are a framework for which you are invited to step in. If you want to opt out of a hike and sit amid the jungle (it’s truly a gorgeous setting surrounding the house) or catch some extra sleep instead of sunrise yoga, be their guest.
You do you. You are encouraged and invited to listen to that small, still voice within and honor her wishes and inclinations. There'll be zero judgement, shaming, or expectations. Still, please do tell someone on a hike or excursion if you plan on leaving early or spending some extra time. Safety is crucial so participants are all accounted for.
*Thank you for your interest in joining the four-night / five-day journey inward alongside other women of diverse backgrounds, disciplines, ages and stages in the great outdoor playground of Kona, Big Island, Hawaii.
Wild Women Tribe creates transformational experiences for likeminded women, grounded in nature and the outdoors. They believe wholeheartedly in "rewilding" back to your essential nature in the company of other women who are aligned with similar ideals.
