Requirements to Attend: You must have a certain degree of strength and mobility to be able to participate in this retreat. You must also be willing to abstain from any mood altering substances during the retreat such as alcohol and other drugs.

Tours: In addition to our daily meditations and many programs, we take our guests to Hawaiian sacred sanctuaries on land and underwater. We walk through the Po'ohonua O Honaunau (the place of refuge) to hold ceremony on a very important aspect of spiritual practice, forgiveness. We also visit the most spectacular tropical marine parks in the world. Here we invite you to snorkel in sacred bays teaming with a large variety of coral that supports a majestic community of aquatic life. We often see turtles, dolphins and whales in these bays.
Swims from boats are optional at an additional fee.

Deposits: 50% of your registration fee secures your choice of accommodations, depending on availability and reserves your place at the retreat.

Balances: Are due 30 days prior to the first day of the retreat.

Forms of Payment: We accept personal checks and money orders from U.S. banks.
We also can accept credit card payments through an agency that charges a $.99 service charage plus 2.5% of the charged amount that is about the same
cost as a bank-certified check.

Cancellations: No cash refunds are given.
If a guest cancels their reservation they may attend a future retreat, transfer their registration fee
to another person, or apply their payment toward accommodations and/or tours for themselves
and or another party. All transfers must first be approved by Sheoli Makara.

Please Note: November through April is what we call "high season" in Hawaii. Annual winter travelers and part time residents book their reservations early often taking the best fares and preferred dates. If you would like to join us during these times, be sure to book your reservations early!! Remember most airlines have
travel insurance if something comes up and you are not able to use your pre-paid ticket.

Meals: Three deliciously balanced gourmet, mostly vegetarian, meals are provided each day, beginning with dinner the first evening and ending with breakfast the last day. We also include fresh local fish and organic, free range chicken throughout the week. We also cater to those with dietary requirements to support your wellness. The meals are prepared with organic products and balanced to provide nourishment and stamina.
Healthful and yummy deserts are also offered.

Air Travel: It is recommended that you make your airline reservations as early as possible for the best price and desired travel dates. www.kayak.com and www.cheeptickets.com usually have good deals.
