A SPACE TO COME ALIVE

VIBRANT EXPERIENCES TO NOURISH AND ENLIVEN YOU THROUGH SERVICE, REVERENCE AND PLAY.

NATURE RETREATS ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAI‘I

THE ESSENCE OF CHRYSALIS

SERVICE

Spend your time immersed in the ancient and present culture of Hawai’i and North Kohala. Experience the rare and priceless opportunity to learn from locals about current restoration work, the re-igniting of the old ways, and how to show up as a Pono visitor - in right relationship to the land and people of Hawai’i. Strengthen the island through sincerely engaging with it’s culture.

PLAY

Through nature art and connection with your inner child, play brings us back to center. It balances the transformational work done in morning sessions, and brings light, curiosity and purpose back into your life. Invitations to find play, freedom of movement, and joyful artistic creativity are woven through your days.

CONNECT

Through witnessing each other in play and exploration, you have the unique opportunity to create meaningful relationships without the usual barriers put in place. Outside of your everyday life, connect with people who long for the same freedom as you. Create lifelong friendships, and deep bonds.

REVERENCE

Our transformational Morning Sessions with Vanessa Stone ask you to return to center - to look inside at the tender places that drive you, shape you, hold you. This sacred pause invites a softening and exploration of your life. Who are you? And how do you long to move in this world?

EAT LOCAL

At Chrysalis, over 70% of the ingredients used in your meals come directly from the farms surrounding the retreat center. Our menu is guided by what is in season, crafted around the fresh offerings from the sea, and shaped by the ‘Aina.

DITCH THE DEVICE

This is an opportunity to step away from the buzz of your life, the notifications and social media. There are so few chances in life to truly pause. We offer a phone-free retreat. You are invited to fully step away from your phone for the week, but we do not confiscate devices. As long as you keep it out of sight, we are happy.
