Which Way Will You Go?

When we ask for directions, we often refer to the cardinal directions - North, South, East, and West, but is that all there is?

In recent years I have come to a new understanding of the directions, as well as the seasons, that they are not linear, or finite or fixed measurements. They are circular and continue to move with us, and within us, as we travel through life.

If you are seeking a new direction in your life then the Alaka'i Wellness Retreat is the place to begin. You will have an experience guided by the directions, seasons, and the elements that will connect, or reconnect, your mind, body, and spirit.

"Transformation is not accomplished by tentative wading to the edge. "
~ Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

"If you are willing to just stand at the edge and keep walking, you will go beyond."
~ Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul

"Sometime in your life, you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself."
~ Katherine Sharp

Are you ready to take that next step?

Going beyond and self discovery will be the foundation of the Alaka'i Wellness Retreat 2026. Through journaling, breath work, and grounding experiences we will gently take those next steps together.

Evolve

To change or develop slowly, often into a better, more complex, or more advanced state.
To come forth gradually into being.

A prominent theme in my first book, Under a Full Moon and a Guiding Star, was transformation, and where I ended up was a deeper understanding of the word evolve. In both our personal and professional lives, our journey must be one of evolving. It is a word that requires intent and action. Evolve gives us the energy to move through challenging circumstances with purpose.

In my own journey, I continue to find inspiration and purpose in helping others discover their own path, and that has brought me to this new horizon in sharing the journey with you.

Whether at dawn or dusk, the horizon calls you to evolve, to change, to come forth gradually into Being.

Are you ready to see how far Beyond the Horizon we can go together?

Being and Becoming Alaka'i

The first emergence of Alaka'i Associates was focused on providing personal and professional training and development for individuals and small business. The name was chosen by a dear friend and mentor whose knowledge of Hawaiian culture and values were imbedded in his leadership. It is the value of leadership with initiative, integrity, and your good example. Definitely something to aspire to.

That journey was interrupted by my son, Jacob's, cancer journey.

Ten years later it re-emerged as a wellness business, focusing on the lessons of self care that I had learned. I discovered my mission to move into the wellness space and share that wisdom with courage and confidence, to help others find their own path.

This is why I have curated the Alaka'i Wellness Retreat, for women who are looking for a guide to help them on their own journey, through self care, back to themselves, and to discover their unique path.

So, if you are at a crossroad in your own journey, then this is the place to start.

Heart Hugs

Here's an easy exercise to being and end your day. Hug your heart. 💞

Place your hand on your heart so that you feel the warm touch of your hand on your heart center.

Breathe gently, softly, deeply into your heart center.

If you wish, breathe in a sense of ease and safety or goodness into your heart center.

Then remember one moment, just one, when you felt safe, loved, and cherished by another human being. Not the entire relationship, just one moment.

As you remember this moment of feeling safe and loved, let yourself feel it deeply. Let is wash through your body, and let it stay there for 20-30 seconds. Notice any shifts in your sense of relaxation and calm.

Now, plan to do this again tomorrow. 💞
