MENU OF SERVICES
We are a spiritual and cultural concierge service, not a wellness center.
We craft amazing personal experiences for you that can be woven into complete spiritual
retreats of any length, you can see
examples of pre-built packages
elsewhere on the site. But any and all of the following wellness experiences can
be combined into your own completely customized cultural and personal growth journey
to stretch across several days or weeks. Our unmatched experiences will take you
out to connect with the healing power of the people and the land of Hawaii. Click

The single most valuable thing we offer you is that we are here, we know the place.
You don't need to know in what area of the island you want to stay to get the most
of your time here, we arrange convenience for you. You don't need to know the difference
between two accommodations that look the same on line or by description but have
different prices, we pre-screen every experience, every person, every accommodation
for you. We know all of the things you would like to know but couldn't possibly
know and we will steer you only to the very best quality and value for the money
you spend.
Prices shown include all gratuities. There are no hidden costs or extras.
Our Menu and prices are per individual except where noted. Other services such as
private sailing cruises, helicopter lava tours, horseback picnics, night-time manta
ray encounters and other phenomenal natural experiences are also available. Prices
are subject to change, call us. And remember when you look at our packages that
we are a concierge service, so the examples are simply ready-to-go ideas of what
you can do with a week here--if you don't see exactly what you like, we build you
something that you do exactly like!

SERVICES - CULTURAL TOUR / SOUL HEALING
SACRED TOUR AND BLESSING ****
|
Immerse yourself in the Heart of Hawaii for an entire day in the powerful presence
of Haleaka Iolani Pule Dooley (Aunty Aka), the spiritually gifted and deeply loving
kahuna who recently performed the post-inaugural native Hawaiian blessing of U.S.
President Barack Obama.
On your own private and very personal journey, let her share with you her heartfelt
intent to bring peace to humanity through the ancient practice of Ho'oponopono,
just as she has done many times before all over the world on behalf of the United
Nations. The focus of her life is to share Ho'oponopono and spread aloha
around the world and directly to you. Your journey may take you to the City of Refuge
at Pu’uhonua o’Honaunau, to Volcanoes National Park, to Waipi’o
Valley or to Mauna Kea and/or to other sacred and powerful places.
|
The ability she has, and can share with you, to make all things right, to bring
balance and harmony back into your life, to understand how to move forward with
others, to move beyond blockages and obstacles and to get the most out of any situation
and out of yourself, that is Ho'oponopono. Ho'oponopono is Akua's (Creator's)
medicine.
And when she has helped you move into a Hawaiian frame of mind, then and only then
will she open her inner gateways to the ancestors and the Universe so that she may
share with you all of the wisdom that waits for you in the Heart of Hawaii. You
will never be the same.

CULTURAL TOUR
HEIAU JOURNEY ****
|
Experience the unseen Hawaii in this journey to sacred temples ande other sacred
and powerful places on the Big Island. Guided by your personal kahuna, Pahia, you
will pull back the veil on some of the deepest secrets and mysteries in Hawaii.
She is a kahuna of love.
Tutu Wahine Vahinetapu Kahuna Hauolikeakahulilani Pahia was born on Oahu and raised
atop a mountain at Maunalani, Oahu. She is of Hawaiian, Tahitian, Lakota Sioux,
English, Scotch, Welsh, French and German descent. Both of Kahuna Pahia’s parents
are of Hawaiian royal and kahuna lineage. She was raised in the Ohana family system,
and was uniquely taught by 13 Kahuna (both men and women) and honors these very
special teachers who passed on their knowledge of protocol, Kumulipo, all aspects
of Huna (including Ho’oponopono), Ho’ohanau (birthing) and Kuauhau (genealogy.)
“Among the wonderful Kahuna who taught me, I was very inspired by Papa Kala who
was an avid Hawaiian Speaker of the Old Way, and Auntie Peggy Ha’o-Ross who created
Ohana O’ Hawaii, was a leader of sovereignty for the true Kingdom of Hawaii, protocol
and the Kahuna Code of Spirituality.” Kahuna Pahia is a Rainbow Bridger and Keeper
of Prophecies, Kahuna Ao of Light and Love, and a KEEPER OF THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA.
She focuses on Peace Education in the Power of Aloha. Kahuna Pahia performs unique
and authentic weddings, blessings of all kinds internationally, ceremonies, tours
of sacred sites throughout Hawaii, counseling and much more.
|
While well grounded in the traditional uses of the Aloha Spirit, Pahia has explored
peace making opportunities, including time in Texas as a teaching PhD. Her traditional-contemporary
crossing style has made her an honored Elder of wisdom among the Kanaka Maoli Wahine...
traditional kahuna women's society, as well as a respected voice for understanding
among world leaders.
A kahuna is the overseer of the structure of Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian
life). He or she is the keeper of ancient knowledge, the keeper of wisdom and understanding,
the professor, the skilled one. The few living kahuna are the preservers of the
ancient Kanaka Maoli, heart and soul. They are the Keepers of the Principle in the
paths known and unknown, the Sacred Bridge Builder, the keeper of the Highway beyond
road’s end.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Individuals / Couples
For our individual guests and couples, we can provide you with personally pre-screened
accommodations such as vacation rentals, inns and bed & breakfast establishments
on a case-by-case basis according to your preference of cost and location.
Typical would be a fabulous ocean-view condo that is a 2-3 bedroom residence with
high-end finishes and gorgeous furnishings that be located in a gated community
or near the ocean such as at the Mauna Kea Resort along the Kohala Coast, from where
you would have access to both the Mauna Kea Beach and Hapuna Beach which have both
been ranked among the "Best beaches in the world" by Conde Nast Travel and Leisure
Magazine. Because we are here and know the place, we see these units individually,
often sleep in them, and thus can select only the very best for you for the price.
Some are ocean-front, some are beach-front and others with breath-taking panoramic
views are a very short drive to the water. Prices vary widely based on location
and amenities.
|
If you prefer, we can also make special arrangements for you to stay on private
property in locations typically unavailable to the public, locations such as Waipi’o
Ridge.
|
Waipi’o Valley is said by local people to have the most powerful mana
in all the Hawaiian Islands. Mana is the essence of the energy of Hawaii,
it healing power and spirit power and creative power all rolled into one.
|
|
The 1BR / 1 BA accommodation itself, in the lower level of a private house, is modest
(modern, not rustic, just informal) with two queen beds in small separate rooms.
But the view, from your cliff-side perch, of waterfalls across the lush tropical
valley dotted with taro, of purple Maui in the distance, and of the black sand beach
nine-hundred feet below, is unmatched anywhere in the world. For even more details
on this once-in-a-lifetime place to stay, see this link.
Remote, totally private, incredibly powerful. Waipi’o Ridge. There
is nothing else like it on the planet.
This is only one example of the unique places to stay that we can arrange for you.
We also have ocean-view condominiums available in luxury resorts such as Mauna Kea
Resort and ocean-view or ocean-front homes in prestigious areas such as the Kohala
Coast and Puako.
|
Small Groups
|
For small groups, we can also arrange complete private villas such as Hale Hakalau,
a lush five acre ocean-view estate that is home to a vast bouquet of exotic fruits
and flowers. This fantastic accommodation sits on five lush tropical acres of fruit
trees and aromatic flowers and looks over the ocean.
|
Hear the crashing ocean waves, walk down through a tropical green valley to the
rocky beach, feel the energy of old Hawaii surround and penetrate your being. And
on some nights, if the season is right, you can hear the songs of the whales wafting
in along with the topical breeze through your open window.
|
|
|
A fully remodeled 1920s-era Plantation Manager’s house still in its original
elegant style, Hale Hakalau is a luxurious 4BR/ 5BA private residence has a private

per night. (The beds are large!)
