10-Day Shamanic Retreats at 'The Pathway to God'

Make Space in Your Life for Spirit. A bit of effort, a sense of gratitude, and an experience of the mystical can help you through these troubled times when the "Real World" no longer makes sense.

=======
ABOUT US
=======
Muaisa Hale Pule is an upcountry, Hawaii sanctuary without walls and without religious or New Age dogma and an official Chapter of the New Haven Native American Church (NHNAC.) Our address is literally "The Great Outdoors."

People generally find their way to us when they are in the early stage of awakening, ready for something new, looking to experience more authenticity in life, or no longer certain of their outer purpose in a seemingly convoluted world. They see the madness in our modern day society and feel a sense of alienation from the culture around them.

Our focus is to invite all who visit and/or partake in our healing venues to honor their own life's purpose, to progress in the healing of habitual, self-depleting behaviors, and to begin anew the process of developing the highest form of worship: the ability to enjoy your life.

==============================
SUNDAY EVENING SACRED PLANT CEREMONIES
==============================
Comparable to "ayahuasca," the home-brewed tea made from 2 or more psychoactive South American plants that grow in the Amazon rain forest, the plants we work with comprise a variety of indigenous entheogens (psychotropic plants that induce a spiritual experience aimed at, literally, "becoming one with God"). Each of them grow in Hawaii and/or the Pacific islands. On Sunday evenings, Chief 'Golden Feather' of the Lakota tradition leads a sacred shamanic plant circle to celebrate and introduce people to these entheogenic plant teachers -- on location, in the plants' native habitat, in the middle of the world's largest ocean, the ocean named after Peace.

(Minimum circle size = 2, maximum = 8. Minimum suggested donation = $250.) Sacred Plants can also be used in combination with our Art Awakening and/or Shamanic 'Life Purpose' Rebirth or incorporated as part of a 2-day or longer mini-program (See below.)

10-DAY TO 2- WEEK SHAMANIC 'LIFE PURPOSE' REBIRTH

TESTIMONIALS
==========
"This is a fabulous place to get in touch with nature and to refresh your soul. It is in an idyllic part of the island where temperatures are pleasant and you can still get easily into town, go to the beach, or drive around the rest of the island. Mostly, I enjoyed interacting with (practitioners' names). Their energy and the work we did together felt like the answer to a prayer." -- Violet, Nevada, USA

"I feel so blessed to have come to Hawai'i and especially to Muaisa Hale Pule. So many transformations have been taken place within me. My interaction at this wonderful place has caused some profound changes in me, and I feel that I have entered a new stage of my life." -- Sonja, Munich, Germany

"Thank you for inspiring me. It's been a long, hard journey, and Truly you played a big hand in my transformation! I learned to go within and find my own Peace. I now know it's ok to just be myself. I love all the people of the World and I accept our differences. There truly is nothing greater than love for all! What a beautiful Planet we live on. I'm so happy to be here, and making a difference in just one person's life makes it worthwhile. You made a difference in mine, and I will always be grateful to you for that. Wishing all the best to you in your endeavors!" -- Chris, Florida, USA

DONATIONS
========

Based on our costs, and on the number of people we serve, any suggested donation amounts listed in this post reflect examples of the minimum dollar values we need to collect in order to break even.

=========
START DATES
=========
There are no set start and stop dates for any of our programs. Depending upon availability on both sides of the equation, you create your own schedule. For the greatest chance of availability, we recommend advanced planning. Lodging in Hawaii tends to book in unexpected spurts, space in our programs tends to fill quickly, and we operate on a first-come-first-served basis. Summers and the winter holiday months are our busiest seasons.

==========
OUR LOCATION
==========
What makes our location most spectacular is that we are situated at 19.5 degrees North latitude on an erupting island. This area, known to Hawaiian elders as "The Golden Triangle, " is the geographic location at which the apex of a star tetrahedra contacts the earth's surface when one of the apexes is positioned at the south pole.

The 19.5 parallel on the Big Island connects Mauna Loa, the worlds' largest volcano/mountain when measured from the ocean's floor, to Kealakekua Bay, the #1 marine life sanctuary in the state of Hawaii. Researchers have identified this position as a "signal in the noise" -- a "'message" left here by some intelligence, a planetary "stargate vortex."

It is at 19.5 degrees latitude that pods of spinner and bottle-nose dolphins come to rest, feed, and nurse their calves. Here, light codes enter the energetic matrix of the Earth and then "broadcast" prayers and/or intentions made here to the world.

This is a dynamic place of manifestation, a spot where things "come up." Those who come here to find themselves or to seek direction, generally receive that; others, who come in denial or resistance to their own gifts, tend to co-create a dozen reasons to take exception and/or to feel bothered. Rather than experience what you fear or what you desire here, you are more apt to clearly experience who and what you are.
