The event will be held at the WINDWARD RETREAT CENTER.
The center is located in Kaʻaʻawa, Hawaiʻi, a small beach community nestled between spectacular mountains and beautiful white sand beaches on the windward coast of Oahu. Ka`a`awa is a picturesque 45-minute drive from Honolulu International Airport. The grounds consist of over three acres of tropical rainforest ringed by the Koʻolau Mountains, and just steps from a white sand beach with amazing sunrises.
Legends abound from and around our location. The traditional land divisions (ahupuaʻa) of Hakipuʻu, Kualoa, Kaʻaʻawa, Makaua, and Kahana form one of the richest and most sacred parts of Hawaiʻi. It was here that the first heiau (temple) was constructed, where the high shrine to the great god Lono existed, and it was the center of one of the two priesthoods in ancient Hawaiʻi.
Ocean activities in and around Kaʻaʻawa are boundless. The ocean can be everything from a playground for water sports to magical spot of healing and rejuvenation, a place to nurture the spirit within and without. Just a three-minute walk from the center gets you to Swanzy Beach Park. Swanzy is a county beach park with a white sand beach and a large grass area for Yoga and picnics. It also has restroom facilities. A short stroll down the road gets you to Kaʻaʻawa Beach Park. It is a ribbon of white sand that is perfect for sunrise walks as it runs for about a mile. In some parts of this beach the sand is so fine it feels like powder between your toes. All of the beaches in Kaʻaʻawa have turquoise waters and palm trees.
We wil take four-minute car ride to go to Kahana State park. Kahana is an eight square mile park that ranges from sea level up to mountains over 2,500 feet high. The wide crescent shaped beach, ringed by Ironwood trees that provide lots of shade, is a perfect beach to spend the day. Kahana is also a cultural park with pleasant hiking trails and an ancient 1400 year old Hawaiian fishpond along the ocean.
The Koʻolau Mountains, which run for over 30 miles along the coast of this part of the island of Oʻahu, are the remains of a dormant volcano that collapsed and slid into the ocean hundreds of thousands of years ago. Waterfalls, rain, and wind have formed the deep crevasses in the slops and cliffs.
I will be helping EVERYONE throughout the process of BOOKING FLIGHTS so I can also coordinate with everyone to arrive in HNL, Oahu around the same time so we can remain together.
Our retreat will be officially done on Feb. 23. You are free and more than welcome to create your own journey from the on and I will be happy to give you tips and advices for places to go and such.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
Thanks for you trust,Namaste.
Ana McIntosh.
For this session, you will be welcomed with a ceremonial dose of Ceremonial Grade Cacao Tea from the Amazon in Brazil, a Hap'e offering and finishing it with Reiki & Sound Therapy.
Wear comfortable clothes, avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before session.
Your first session might take a little longer (around 90 min) and the follow up ones would take 60-75 min.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
The Ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki. Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.
This session will take 60-75 minutes.
Please, bring a bottle filled with water.
PAY EXTRA $20 TO GET INFRARED CRYSTAL MAT IN YOUR SESSION.
Sure, some sounds are soothing (like ocean waves or wind chimes) while others are downright jarring (like a traffic jam or your neighbor’s new violin hobby). But can sounds actually heal you?
Like a lot of other wellness practices (mindfulness, meditation, crystals, etc) sound healing is having a major moment right now—but it’s actually been used by cultures like the Aboriginal peoples in Australia and Tibetan monks for centuries.
If you’ve ever been in Kundalini Yoga class, then you’ve already tried it (chanting is one form of sound healing). The effect should be the same—a general feeling of relaxation and contentment.
I will guide you through a deep state of mind where you can find resonance with each sound that comes from : Crystal bowls and pyramids, Tibetan bowls, shamanic drums and rainstick, gongs and tuning forks, flutes, handpan and chimes.
Crystals and essential oils are also part of this unique experience.
This session will take 60-75 minutes.
Please, bring a bottle of water.
PAY EXTRA $20 TO GET 60MIN INFRARED HEATING CRYSTAL MAT IN YOUR SESSION.
Aloha! I am Ana and I am going to guide you through a Sound Journey Meditation using her different instruments, including drums, rainstick and rattles from the Stone Age, to the Golden Era with her Tibetan bowls and Gong, to more modern instruments such as crystal singing bowls, crystal pyramid and a beautiful Kailani chime, as well as an Indian instrument called harmonium, which flows very well into a couple chantings and tribal songs and prayers I will be sharing while participants are comfortably lying down in Savasana, bringing even more peace and love into our body, mind and souls.
Sound Therapy techniques vary but all involve the application of sound waves and harmonic vibrations to the body through the use of instruments, including the human voice. Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur).
It's been found that sound and music can be effective healers for a range of mental, emotional, and even physical ailments, and has been a valuable treatment for several conditions such as:
Depression
Anxiety disorders
PTSD
Dementia
Autism spectrum disorders
People with learning difficulties
Those with behavioural and psychiatric disorders
Sleep disorders
Aches and pains
Some cancers
Some of the most highly reported benefits of music therapy and sound healing include:
Reduced stress
Fewer mood swings
Lower blood pressure
Lower cholesterol levels
Better pain management
Reduced risk of strokes and coronary artery disease
Improved sleep
If you're not sure you believe in the magical curative powers of music and sound healing therapy, just think about your favourite song or musical track and how it immediately works as a mood-booster.
At the end, anyone is welcome to approach the instruments and play, and I will share my knowledge about them as much as I know.
Oracle cards will also be available to play with before we go home for a restful night.
I will be honored to have you in the space to create a sacred container of love & healing.
Mahalo,
Ana.
*Session for 2 people or more - 60 minutes.
** Please, bring your own socks.
The ThetaHealing technique is a world renown healing method that was created by Vianna Stibal in 1995 during her own personal journey back to health and after she healed from a 9-in tumor her leg.
The ThetaHealing technique is a meditation technique and spiritual philosophy - not specific to one religion but accepting them all - with the purpose of getting closer to the Creator. It is a training method for your mind, body and spirit that allows you to clear limiting beliefs and live life with positive thoughts, developing virtues in all that we do. Through meditation and prayer, the ThetaHealing Technique creates a positive lifestyle.
We believe by changing your brain wave cycle to include the “Theta” state, you can actually watch the Creator Of All That Is create instantaneous physical and emotional wellbeing.
*60-90 minutes

One such powerful healing is the Hawaiian prayer of healing through forgiveness, the Ho'oponopono. The word literally translates to “make right”. Ho'o means ‘to make’ and pono ‘right’ the double use of pono means with both yourself and others. It helps in restoring harmony within the soul and with others.
It is a mindfulness technique that helps you focus on the present by letting go of past experiences that don’t serve you anymore. So from there you can allow yourself to experience the new, the UNKNOWN, and elevate your mind to greater heights to achieve peace, tranquility and true happiness.
Join me on this powerful journey using the Ho'oponopono prayer meditation in our daily lives.
