TWELVE DAY OHANA RETREATS
Like legendary surfers, Maha and her Ohana team will take special care to go with the flow and drop into the wave of life. She will take you to where the magic of the day calls and awaits you. See and feel yourself wandering through a bamboo forest cathedral, bathing in sunlit fresh water pools, jumping into cascading waterfalls and hiking to ancient Hawaiian temples and hidden villages. Relax in exotic island settings, eating delicious vegan food and fruits grown organically on the island. Enjoy frolicking with the whales and snorkeling amidst colorful reef fish, and experience the connection to the sacred within all lifeforms. A visit to Maui will open your heart, reawaken all your senses and fill you with tremendous gratitude to be alive. The thread that runs through all of your 'Hawaiian lei days', hosted by Maha, will be the seven principles of the Aloha spirit, and like any very special flower bouquet, the Ohana retreats offer different colors and fragrances. You can choose one of the following for your special retreat:
We will stay in 'Heavenly Hana', between Hamoa and Koki beach, in a retreat house
by the ocean, with hot tub, tropical garden and gorgeous views of Haleakala.
The house sleeps 10 and tent space is available. Delicious vegetarian cuisine
will tantalize your taste buds and nourish body, mind and spirit. One or two
group vans will make it easy for you to get around and enjoy leisurely drives
on the spectacular daily excursions. There will be plenty of free time for shopping,
relaxing and swimming. Snorkel equipment and surf boards can be rented near the
airport in Kahului.Reservation for the house a year in advance due to popularity. Costs for retreats led by Maha Conyers If you wish to prolong your stay on Maui or the neighboring islands, a team of helpers is ready to serve you with all the information you need.

Maui presents you with a sun and a moon crater, reflecting the balance of yin and yang, the interplay of male and female. Maui is a mother nurturing her children and immersing them in a bath of Aloha. The experience is always transformative even for the seasoned traveler.
Enjoy an introduction to the Hawaiian island massage of Lomilomi.
A wonderful experience of getting back into the flow and coming home to your self, Lomilomi is a dance of breath and life and harmony. Allow yourself to be pampered 'Aloha-style' and bring back home with you the gift of treating your friends and family to this massage of long flowing strokes together with Hula steps and the rhythm of the islands.
Enhance your retreat while learning the Chinese Emperor's Rejuvenation Practices. Especially created for the hormonal and immune system, it
becomes a great daily practice for the modern person who wants to achieve
maximum health in a minimum of 30 minutes work-out time. It works on all the meridians by 'letting go' rather
than by 'doing'. Imagine how it would be to fill yourself to the brim with the
the energies of heaven and earth in a tropical garden or the invigorating
ocean or stretching next to a giant Banyan tree in the forest or atop a rocky
black lava field. Doing the workout at home, you will have the flavor of
Hawai'i right there with you! 
An individual choice of 3 - 5 days spent in the presence of 9th
generation Grand Teacher Kai'po Kaneakua (pictured right), a true Hawaiian healer and farmer of hidden herbal and mineral remedies in food.
Absorb invocation, prayer, astrology and Hawaiian philosophy as well as enjoying herbwalks in the mountains and along the ocean, camping in the forest and learning about the Hawaiian way to heal and commune
with nature. Experience kayaking to rare snorkeling areas known only to the
Kahuna. Individual healing sessions are available by appointment after the workshop.
