Why go on retreat?

Retreats are an investment in yourself. Taking time and space for yourself is one of the kindest things you can do for you. It is also one of the most challenging when you are swept up in life and people are depending on you. Pressing pause on your normal routine, work, kids, partners, life can be the breath of fresh air you need. We cannot serve the people we love most when we are running on empty. Life is so much richer when you are giving from an overflowing cup. Retreat is an opportunity to FILL UP! When you are overflowing you are sharing from abundance not depletion. Yoga retreats are the investment of a lifetime. Retreat brings you closer to YOU. Retreat can change your life. Live Nourished!

Re-Inspire! A Life Well Nourished Yoga + Āyurveda Retreat

Kipahulu, Maui February 4 - 7, 2027

It’s a NEW year! A NEW moment! It’s the ideal time to re-inspire a life well lived through this rare opportunity to unplug from daily routines and to plug in to the space where you are just yourSelf without any effort. The yoga scriptures call this space Ānanada or bliss, I call this living in the EXTRAordinary. 

Why go on retreat? It is easy for us to become busy, distracted and experience haziness in the direction of our life – or even to disconnect from life in general. Retreats up-level us. They invite us to step into a space where we can reconnect and refocus on what is most important. In revitalizing our body. and mind we remember what is most essential and what is most life affirming. This encourages us to re-enter our daily life on a higher level and to advance the direction of our lives. With our energy settled, clear and expansive, we re-discover life’s magic, meaning and intention. 

Be inspired to create a life well nourished!

Your guide inward for the weekend is Michele Ford Dennis, an Āyurvedic Practitioner, International Jivamukti Yoga + Heart of Sound Teacher.

Our Host Farm

Laulima Farm is a 13‑acre family farm in Kipahulu Valley, surrounded by lush green mountainsides and stewarded with organic practices since 1996. Our land is cultivated using agroforestry, meaning the farm feels more like a forest or botanical garden than a conventional agricultural space. Towering avocado trees shelter cacao, coffee, and other shade‑loving plants, while ginger, turmeric, hot peppers, and lush soft ground cover plants thrive between. Guests enjoy strolls through our gardens and orchards, an afternoon visit to our roadside cafe for a homegrown latte, and stunning ocean and mountain views throughout the farm.At Laulima Farm, all harvesting and processing is done by hand, ensuring care and quality from beginning to end. We honor food as sacred and are deeply committed to caring for the land that sustains us. Our orchards include hundreds of varieties of tropical fruits and crops, such as:

● Coffee & cacao (chocolate)

● Avocado, papaya, banana, citrus

● Jackfruit, longan, zapotes, passionfruit

● Turmeric, ginger, and even popcorn

Laulima Farm’s mission is to inspire people from all walks of life to recognize our interconnection with nature. Food is medicine, and health is wealth. :)
