It’s time to disconnect from your everyday life and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Over the next 5 days we will be fully tapping into the mind, body and soul through fitness, meditation, mindset workshops, cooking, private dinner show and more. These five days are about bringing you the emotional freedom to live a purposeful, liberated life, that brings love into your soul, inspiration into your mind and connection into your heart. Our goal is that by the end of the trip you walk away as a more empowered version of yourself, more connected to your spirit than ever before, with the tools to translate all of this back into your day to day lives. We cannot wait to meet you all!

TESTIMONIAL
I had a great time on my retreat with Kanoa! Everything was very well organized, and I felt taken care of right from the moment I ordered the trip. We were a small group, which to me made it feel more comfortable and exclusive. It was so nice to just be [with] other fat/plus size women and feel strong and comfortable in my body. The entire experience was amazing! Kanoa is such a warm and open host, and I can especially recommend her evening yin yoga sessions with an ocean view.
