About this trip

With Heather Salmon, Donny Regal and Special Guest Chef Kyra Bramble

Begin 2018 with a transformative raw food, yoga, Aerial Yoga Play, and sound healing retreat in the lush tropical north shore of Maui in Hawaii, surrounded by wild exotic fruit trees and flowing waterfalls. You will leave this retreat spiritually inspired, physically detoxed, and mentally empowered to take your new understanding of holistic health and apply it to your daily life.


You will empower yourself to live at your highest potential while vacationing in paradise. This retreat will cleanse your body with fresh organic live food bursting with nutrients and flavor as well as learn how to make your own gourmet raw food at home. Your day will begin with the chirping of tropical birds as you awaken in a lush nature sanctuary. You will enjoy a raw breakfast followed by a two hour Hatha yoga, Aerial Yoga Play, and sound healing session.


Next is another raw gourmet meal followed by free time to explore the local jungles and waterfalls, come back for a raw food cooking class, and then enjoy your creations for dinner. This special retreat offers daily raw food classes, three gourmet raw food meals, aerial yoga play classes, and sound healing sessions.

The session completes with a 30 to 45-minute journey into the world of sacred sound and the healing 432 Hertz frequencies of the crystal singing bowls and live music and soundscapes.

Location

This yoga retreat will take place at Black Swan Temple Maui in Hawaii, USA. This tropical jungle earth temple is surrounded by waterfalls and situated in a very sacred part of the island that was known as the home of the owl, the resting place of mature souls and a place where Hawaiian royalty received training. If you are needing the amenities and creature comforts of modern hotels, this is not the place for you. If you are adventurous and are willing to unplug and tune into nature then this nature temple will be paradise. You will wake up to beautiful sunrises and the sounds of nature.


The 2.5-acre sanctuary is a living food forest with coconut, papaya, banana, avocado, starfruit, orange, lemon and lime trees, a garden full of organic greens and passion fruit. Black Swan Temple Maui also has giant bamboo, exotic tropical flowers, and gardens. Moreover, the temple has gorgeous Indonesian art, statues, and fountains throughout. Black Swan Temple Maui is somewhat rustic and does not have air conditioning.


In general, Black Swan Temple Maui has good cell service, especially for Verizon. With satellite internet which is not the strongest service. It is recommended that you plan on unplugging and taking a retreat from the internet during your time here.

Accommodation

Black Swan Temple has simple yet beautifully appointed Balinese cabins as well as a suite with a private bathroom. These cozy cabins are nestled in the tropical garden creating privacy for each. These cabins are somewhat rustic and have a shared bathroom and an outdoor shower. There is a lovely suite also available with its own private bathroom. There are limited satellite Wi-Fi and no television. There is a communal kitchen, office space, and a far infrared sauna that is also available for the guests. Classes and workshops take place in the beautiful sanctuary.

Food

The retreat is all inclusive of gourmet raw food that will tantalize your taste buds, rejuvenate your mind, and allow your body to cleanse without feeling deprived.


For breakfast, you can expect fresh fruit, raw pastries, fresh nut milk, superfood smoothies, and cold pressed coffee (yes, you can have coffee). For lunch, you will anticipate rich and innovative salads, raw chips, and spreads.

I had an amazing time at Black Swan Temple and I can't wait to go back. it exceeded all my expectations. Located in the lush Maui jungle, the temple grounds are peaceful, beautiful, and surrounded by palm trees and flowers. The rest of the world just melts away. The energy here is very loving and healing. Thank you to Heather and Donny, who are wonderful and skilled facilitators. I could feel their sincerity and integrity and love. I slept so well in my little cottage listening to the rain at night and waking up to birds in the morning. The vegan food was also delicious and filling, and I'm not even vegan! I loved the morning yoga and sound healing sessions. I also loved learning reiki and getting the chance to practice it with my group. This is a really special place and I'm so glad I found it! Thank you again, Heather and Donny!!

It was absolutely EPIC - ticked all the boxes I could have imagined and then some. Accommodation was amazing, the lovely garden that Heather & Donny live in is so wholesome, you feel like you are in your own little Oasis. Delicious breakfast served every morning, and YUM plant-based lunches. Honestly some of the recipes I still make at home (and definitely recommend Heather & Donny's recipe book for more). It really felt like I was coming home to family. The retreat itself was a wonderful experience. From the morning Yoga, Aerial Yoga and Sound Baths, to the evening Circles, Ceremonies and Sound Baths, it was an all-round incredible experience. I also have to point out that you won't experience a class like the ones with Heather & Donny anywhere else, as Donny plays live music while Heather teaches and guides you through the practice. An absolutely magical experience that makes each class as unique as the people within it. I also want to mention that there is plenty of free time to integrate the experiences and explore the island. During my entire stay with Heather & Donny I managed to get around Maui and see all the places I wanted (like Hana, Haleakala Volcano Crater, town, some beaches, etc.). I will definitely be back, and if you're thinking about heading there - I highly recommend it. If you're still reading this, make sure the thing you do after this is book your retreat (and tell me how it went!!). :)
