Past Retreats
"Meeting the class made up of LomiLomi people, hiking in the canyons to waterfalls coming face to face how my body changed in two years, listening to two speakers was an eye opener. The Island is made up of more than the tourist who paid to vacation there, more than spiritual people who are flying high on the energy and making huge shifts in their life or come there to get inspired. There is something even deeper that the island holds. There is a living library spread through the earth since it’s beginning. The mountains, land and sea hold the stories. The islanders, land and sea creatures, and stewards of the land hear and know those stories. It’s for us to listen and be move by them.
This time coming back to Kauai I got a glimpse of connecting to that and becoming aware of the depth of this place and what it holds. I’m grateful to you Kate how well you hold those stories that were pass to you through your teachers and those whom you connect with to re-educate/pass/share them along to your students and friends. It shows in your passion and work. Thank you. You really put a lot of work into this to help create a learning and healing experience for all of us to participate in. I’m also grateful for the class. Each person held and brought something to the table and class. " - 2019 Student
Come Home to Yourself on Kaua'i : March 17 - 23, 2019
There are few places on Earth as beautiful as Kaua'i. On this retreat, we gather to learn the craft of Lomilomi, to ho'olono (listen) and to mālama (take care of) the ʻĀina (land) and therefore each other & through all of this to learn about ourselves. When we are surrounded by Beauty, we cannot help but radiate beauty, too. Come drop back into you and reconnect to the ease and grace within.
Empowered by Kumu Alva Andrews, as an alakaʻi in the Pā Ola Hawaiʻi lineage of lomilomi, Kate Brenton teaches lomilomi to share what was shared with her. She believes lomilomi and a willing recipient can reestablish the body-mind-spirit balance. Whether you are a practitioner or simply want to lighten lifeʻs weight off of someone you love, lomilomi is a journey of sweet revelations and honest work on yourself. To learn a Hawaiian craft, oneʻs feet should stand on Hawaiian land, and do their best to learn of the Hawaiian culture. In giving back to the land and the culture that perpetuates this healing modality, we have the opportunity to awaken a sense of connection.
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Ponoe \ The life of the land is perpetuate in righteousness. This class is a step, the first of three levels, on your Journey with lomilomi.
