HEALING RETREATS AND WORKSHOPS ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAI'I

Enjoy relaxed awareness and body/mind healing at Dakini Gardens and Retreat. Our professional staff is here to support your ideal Hawai’ian wellness travel experience.

Come explore the unique Puna district of Hawai'i's Big Island. Dakini Gardens and Retreat is just a few miles from the current lava flow, yet the prevailing trade winds bring to our high ridge some of the freshest air on the planet. Enjoy our peaceful, secluded environment with comfortable roads and paths through 25 acres of ancient Ohia forests, tropical fruit orchards and open meadows. Take our guided adventure and cultural tours, or venture on your own to the many nearby attractions and adventures.

Wellness and Meditation Programs are geared to individual and group retreats, especially in the Nyingma/ Kagyu and Shambhala Traditions. Relax in our long and short term retreat jungalows, dormitory tents and tent sites, and using our solar showers and group kitchen. Our 48’x48’ practice tent hosts regular Saturday meditation classes, along with special workshops with visiting and local teachers.

Work exchange positions are available. Practice living simply and sustainably, learn the art of baking in a wood-fired clay oven, work alongside our beekeeper, help weed our biodynamic vegetable gardens and tropical fruit orchards.

Dakini Gardens and Retreat offers organic traditional tinctures and flower essences, prepared in small handmade batches during the various harvesting seasons. Check our online store for recent updates.
