If it is a retreat you are looking
for the Volcano Rainforest
Retreat offers small group
gatherings
to
foster
an
integration of psychological
and spiritual growth into
everyday life through intimate
healing getaways, personal
growth workshops, support
groups, and peaceful retreats.
You can read more about the
actual specifics of each retreat
at the website, and seek the
retreat that connects to you
and your personal needs,
http://volcanoretreat.com/
workshops.shtml but I cannot
think of a more perfect place
to sit, meditate, destress and
simply strip out all those niggly,
annoying things that bring us
down on a day to day basis
than within a native Hawaiian
rainforest. Nature really is so
powerful, so healing and all you
need to do is be in it. Just think
of how good you feel walking in
a park or a wood, it is impossible
to hold on to anger or negative
feelings, whilst being amongst
nature, think about it, it really is
incredibly difficult!
Kathleen offers counselling
to assist you on your personal
journey,
she
works
with
individuals and couples with
a focus on both personal and
relational empowerment and
concious relationship as a life
practice., you can also benefit
by telephone sessions,

If you are looking to explore the
Island, and take time out for
yourself then just a few miles
up the road is Kilauea Volcano,
home of Pele, the Hawaiian
Goddess of Fire. Hike, Bike, or
drive through this magnificent
landscape
at
Hawai`i
Volcanoes National Park.
A half-hour drive toward the
sea is historic Hilo town with
its picturesque bay, waterfalls
and botanical gardens. Just a
short distance away is Volcano
Village - a community noted
for its distinctive blend of artists,
scientists, and entrepreneurs.
The village has two country
stores, gas stations and a post
office. Local restaurants and
cafes offer a variety of dining
experiences
including
the
charm of old Hawai`i at Kilauea
Lodge. Visit Volcano Winery,
home of Tropical Hawaiian
Wines. For the adventurous, the
Chain of Craters Road winds
down to the coast where vast
systems of lava tubes carry
active lava flows into the sea,
creating the newest land on
earth. The Kilauea Volcano lava
viewing area site changes, due
to the nature of the constantly
changing landscape of this
active volcano. You can see
