Summer Solstice 2024
JUNE 17-23, 2024 | Big Island, Hawaii
with guest healer, Dr. Paul C. Wang plus breakfast and special dinners with Chef Peter
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE BLOSSOM AND FLOURISH IN YOUR LIFE?
Join us on the Big Island of Hawaii, home of Mauna Kea and sacred Kealakekua Bay, for a radiant 2024 Summer Solstice week as we celebrate the grand opening of Hestia’s new sister site!
We will bask in the warming energies of this fertile land to expand our connection to nature, community and being. Our group cultivation guide and guest healer for this sacred journey is Dr. Paul C. Wang, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM).
Solstice amplifies our vision, fuels our fire, enhances our sensitivity to possibilities beyond our old stories and stale identities. We feel into the new who we want to be. We ignite the process of embodying our future self in this moment. We illuminate both our intentions and blockages to create our most meaningful life. We commune our wholeness within to heal our relationships.
Dr. Wang will share his integration of martial, medical, and mystical paths as our collective story of mythic mastery — a process which actualizes our full potential. Through practical principles and meaningful flows, he will orchestrate a series of three 2-hour morning activation sessions throughout the sabbatical week to harmonize our mind, heart, body with soul, spirit, source.
