Come along with us to Kona, Hawaii to dive deeper into yourself through freediving in the spirit of embodiment, connection and reciprocity. You will spend 5 full days and 6 nights connecting with yourself through somatic workshops (land) and line diving (ocean). Workshops will be rooted in freediving and grounded in somatic awareness and depth psychology. Plan to have full days in and out of the water, but also plenty of down time to “connect and reflect” with yourself and others in the comfort of a safe space.

We have designed this small group experience to be fully inclusive and for freedivers of all abilities.* All you have to do is get your plane ticket and we’ll take care of the rest. Transportation will be provided to and from the airport, training sites and optional group activities such as hiking the lava flows. Rental cars are not necessary, but you may still choose to have your own. We will provide breakfast, snacks and dinners on property. You may choose to have meals off property at your expense. To enhance your embodied experience, massage therapy will be availble on property and is not included in the cost of the retreat.

*SAFETY/LIABILITY: In order to maintain a safe space for everyone, we ask that everyone who attends to complete a level 1 course prior to the retreat. If you have taken a level 1 course and have not finished all of your requirements, you may still attend and use the training days to work towards your course completion.

The islands of Hawaii are sacred land and we will all be attending with the upmost respect. By attending this retreat, you agree that you will not remove anything from the island (shells, rocks, sand, etc.). Please be advised that sunscreen and suit lube products that are not reef safe will not be allowed. We will provide reef safe, biodegradable leave-in conditioner from Stream2Sea for your open cell suits.

Upon arrival, you will be required to sign a liability release form for any illness (including COVID) or injury during your stay. We do not anticipate any injuries, but as freedivers we recognize the inherent risk within our community and while on island. Please ensure you have basic health coverage or are prepared to incur medical costs in case of an emergency. If deemed necessary, you will be transported to urgent care.

You will be staying in shared sleeping accommodations of up to 4 people per cottage. By signing up for this retreat you acknowledge that you are comfortable staying in a shared space with others.
