Big Island of Hawaii...
Weeklong Retreat
Hilo, Hawaii
Fall, 2007 (dates TBA)
        
From Hilo, Hawaii in a special remote, pristine, untouristed retreat space, we will be touched by the heavenly restorative magic of the rainforest areas of the Big Island, where we are spiritually nourished by this exotic healing tropical isle.

Let authentic Hawaiian indigenous wisdom, sacred spots, powerful Pele volcano energy, healing hot lava ponds, the Kahuna Waterfalls, and ecstatic Hawaiian island energy take you deeper into your yourself and your life’s work….your Spirited Work.

Spirited Work… The Give-and-Get Path to Passion and Purpose Do you want to do more of the spirited work you like to do, and less of the drudgery work you don't? Hint: It's not about what you do! Connie Grauds demonstrates how the shamanic laws of energy flow can take your life's work to the next level. Out goes boredom and fatigue, in comes passion and life purpose. During this Spirited Work workshop, you will learn the principles of C.O.R.E…a four-step process to spiriting your work and bringing forth your life's passion and purpose. The secret of this process is positive reciprocal impact, the art of giving of yourself to get what you want in return. Come prepared to write your own personal Energy Presciption to change your life now. Leave the struggle behind and commit to a life of spirited work. Create a life of passion and purpose. Connie is an inspirational leader and spiritual coach who has changed many lives by helping them spirit their life's work. A healer, shamana, and pharmacist, Connie is author of the critically acclaimed books Jungle Medicine….from Medicine to Magic and The Energy Prescription (coming from Bantam in summer 2005).

Quotes from Previous
Life-Changing Hawaii Retreat Participants:

Thanks again for the "helping hand" I received on the Hawaiian retreat. My life shifted because of your gentle guidance. The experience for me was profound and continues to be so even after coming back to my routine. The magic of Hawaii was the perfect setting for such a tremendous healing experience.
Bonnie from Denver, CO

The entire week was magical. It was perfect, from the people in the group, to the grounds, to the staff at the retreat center. Everything worked together to create the opportunity to connect with the Hawaiian spirits.
Chuck from Marin, CA

Where has the time gone since our return? Visions—scenes of our retreat center in Hawaii seem long ago and yet part of my present sense of being. What a gift it has been to find my [present] awareness is relating to a backdrop of the soft air, lovely vegetation speaking to me and the embrace of companions. Our trip was, indeed a gift of consciousness.
Dhyana from Moraga, CA

It was a wonderful to experience the healing surroundings of the retreat center. The energy there was one of such peace. I could hardly not ingest it in my heart and soul. I would recommend it highly. It was a great experience. Upon returning, I feel more at peace within my self. I am more aware of those around me and expressing gratitude and setting my intentions each day.
Bev from Park City, Utah
