our SPECIAL SABBATICAL WEEKS
Take a special pilgrimage back to the land with us to honor Mother Earth’s seasonal shifts. Together, in community, we witness her changing moons and rhythms to become masters of change in our own lives and to gracefully navigate the complexity of these chaotic times!
Summer Solstice Sabbatical Week
June 16 - 23, 2025
Big Island, Hawaii
co-hosted by Belinda Liu (Hestia co-founder) & Dr. Paul Wang (Doctor of Chinese Medicine)
What aspects of your life are ready for full blossom this summer?
Summer unfolds an expansion of our energies, both healthy and unhealthy, beautiful and messy, light and dark. Clarity allows us to see ourselves fully. Compassion helps us choose expression of our inherent goodness. Courage warms our heart to melt old hurts for our inner self to blossom.
These themes are related to the alchemical element of Fire. Join us for our special summer solstice sabbatical week to cultivate the fiery joy and aliveness of Pele’s lands on Big Island, Hawaii.
Fall Equinox Sabbatical Week
September 18 - 24, 2025
Mount Shasta, CA
co-hosted by Belinda Liu (Hestia co-founder) & Dr. Paul Wang (Doctor of Chinese Medicine)
What of the lessons we harvest each year lead to tangible change?
Fall ripens release and the fruition of our realizations. Select the most valuable experiences and distill them as treasures. These are the principles and values without which we become lost. Embodied, they gift us the wisdom and power to transmute our problems into gold.
These themes are related to the alchemical element of Metal. Join us in Mount Shasta, the powerful root chakra of the earth, during Fall Equinox, for a deeply restorative sabbatical week to slow down, reset and come back into balance with your body, mind and spirit.
