WHOLE FAMILY FUN:

This incredible retreat was designed to nurture you and your whole family! More than a fun time together, this retreat will help your whole family get more connected. We’ll help you bond with your kids as you develop a family mission statement, engage in team building exercises and learn tools to strengthen communication skills. Enjoy time together as a family AND time on your own – while our team of facilitators engage your kids in nature-based learning, mindfulness-based practices and social-emotional learning! Enjoy 3.5 to 4 hours of time on your own each day, practicing yoga and mindfulness (or indulging in a dip in the hot tub, a nap, a surf or a hike!) – as our team takes care of your kids – so you can truly have time to refuel and refill your cup, and will have more to offer your kids in return.

We’re here for YOU. We’re here for your KIDS & TEENS. We’re here for your WHOLE FAMILY!

Maybe you’re a single parent who wants some time to nurture yourself while you take your kids on an amazing adventure.
Or perhaps your partner can’t get away for work, but your kids are off from school and you’d like to take them to experience the magic of Maui.
Or maybe you and your partner want some time to reconnect on vacation while we nourish your kids with mindfulness-based nature awareness experiences.
Please rest assured – we have planned our Family Retreat with YOU in mind!
Join us for a Family Yoga Retreat on the magical island of Maui that you and your kids will remember for a lifetime!
