Communal Living: Retreat center guidelines and etiquette have been established
to maintain harmony, cleanliness and neatness for everyone's enjoyment.

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 week, 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 in the water. We walk through the Po'ohonua O Honaunau
(the place of refuge) and 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 during our journeys.
Four-hour dolphin and whale journeys are also available by boat which are optional at an additional fee.

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 charge 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
specific dietary requirements. 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.
