About this Retreat
Your Guides
It’s my path and instrument to share the spirit of universal love and life energy to anyone who is open to receive it.”
Worlds of Wonder – WoW for short – is the path I want to walk with you. This is how we arrive at your loving self-rediscovery, so that you can live who you already are deep inside. Finding that source within yourself and living from there is what I would like you to experience.
Thirty years ago I had a mystical experience in Bali. There I experienced the beauty of nature completely unveiled for the first time. I took in the light of the palm tree in wonder. The intensity of it woke me up and I realized that there is something bigger than ourselves. That experience set me on my path.
It is my path and medicine to share the spirit of universal love and life energy with all who are open to receive it.
I do this by sharing insights, knowledge and wisdom as a Lomi Lomi therapist and trainer, as a speaker and inspiration in my Light Circles and as a supervisor of Ho'oponopono sessions, where relationship recovery and therefore self-connection are central.
Everything on earth exudes universal love... it is the source within yourself!
About Ricardo
In 2015 I had a dream to answer the call that awakened deep within me after my first Lomi Lomi lessons. An insatiable, almost necessary journey that I had to make. It took me to Hawaii. And there I decided to devote my entire life to ceremonial and healing body work.
I have now been able to delve further into so many more spiritual traditions, in addition to Hawaiian culture. Universal Love is my guide in everything. This gives my path and work even more depth and foundation. Healing arts: it has become my life.
