A call for anyone who feels they need to just be.
Give yourself two weeks of winter on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, with space to relax, restore and simply be. Let nature's elements rejuvenate you, and let your creative work flow in its own rhythm.
This isn't a structured retreat. It's an open, spacious invitation for writers, artists, healers, dreamers, and anyone ready to reconnect with themselves through stillness and nature. Come with a project you've been longing to nurture, or come with nothing at all but the wish to rest.
Creative couples are warmly welcomed.
Wai Mana
Wai means water. Mana means energy. Wai Mana is the seed of life.
Wai Mana is a permaculture sanctuary on the Big Island, just steps from a black sand beach. Here the days are shaped by the ocean, the rain, the sun and the living land around you.
You'll have your own private guest house with a kitchenette, a quiet place of your own to write, create, dream and rest, with community gathered close by whenever you want it.
What's included
- Private guest house accommodations with your own kitchenette, for the full 14 days
- Kundalini yoga twice a week to move energy, open the heart and inspire the creative flow
- Three community dinners to gather, share and nourish together
- The freedom to relax, reboot and find more inspiration, in your own time and your own way
Your exchange
For two weeks, January 17 – 31, 2027.
The land offering
We always find it helpful in the creative process to put your hands to the earth and tend the environment you're in. If you feel called, offer 3 hours of work on the land, at your leisure during your 14 days, and receive a reduced exchange.
